I'm picking up damage... lots and lots of damage....
There is such a disparity between the ease of the first room and the brutalizing of the second room. My nice long range cruiser slaughters the frigates pretty quickly. Getting dumped in the middle of 5 cruisers that brutalize you at short range and even at long... well, I am clearly in the wrong ship fitting. Getting better at fitting all the time, but still have to figure out how to tank that cruiser dps...
So... I'm getting a repair bill!
But I'm stubborn and I'll keep trying!

I think someone said the cruisers are intentionally beefy tank and high Thermal to make these sites a little trickier than the last ones. I'd have to agree after running nearly two dozen sites yesterday.
(pauses and stairs blankly back) What? I was bored.
At least the give descent bounty for the kill. Yesterday I found a Gila with an adaptive and a pith medium was just enough to tank five cruisers long enough to get kills going and ease up on my tank. Even with a pair of Vespa II's pushing 560'ish DPS though it seemed like it took longer to take one down than normally for non-elite cruisers; I felt like I was in my old Drake from way back when I first started Eve. Even the BC melts like butter, just like the frigs.

I made the initial mistake of trying this in a jackdaw for giggles. I could get the tank right but not the DPS. Some things worthy of note. Caldari T2/T3 ships have high thermal resists making them nice and easy to tank for the sites. Others may need a bit more thermal damage resistance help but is typically made up for with a single mod.
Passive gila (purger rigs and 2 LSE IIs + 2 passive thermal resist mods) or active tengu work wonders in the sites per my experience. Also I've seen plenty of vexor navy issues, ishtars and a cerberus or 2 running. |

Well, I'm in an Armor tanked Thorax. Long Rang dps is not working against the cruisers so I'm going to have to switch from rails to blasters and go short.
The issue then becomes Thermal tank. Jonny Pew advised that but he's running in a nice Caldari Cerebus with nice Heavy Assault Missles. So, I'm still trying to find the right Tank combination and the one I'm flying SHOULD (by the numbers) take out 96% of the incoming Thermal and Kinetic damage, but it isn't, so something isn't working as stated or not enough has been stated as to let me know there's a limit there.
So back to the drawing board. Thanks for the advice guys.

Got a Rattlesnake BPC from a highsec site. So those highsec sites can give nice thing. So far the lowsec has only yielded a gecko and skill extractor. Top this off with 20 skins and double the clothes.
For tanking: the highsec version uses thermal missiles and they do always the same amount of damage, no matter if you MWD or lower your sig, speed tank, etc. Not sure what is up that. Lowsec seems to be easier then high. Ran a PvP fitted cane through those with ease, the tank on the cruisers seems to be way less then those of the highsec.
Also look at the patch notes. CCP is changing the loot tables every (other) day so maybe we get better stuff as the event nears it end. |

Tested on Ishtar and Navy Drake and the Ishtar wins hands down. Wasp IIs melt through those cruisers in the purest ISKstar spirit, just stay aware of incoming damage because the cruisers pack a punch. |

Yeah, definitely elite cruiser stats (the bounties should have been some unmistakable hint of that). Ran one in a Golem for the giggles and they do take two full salvos to kill, which is elite cruiser territory for my part.
Oddly, CCP really needs to do something with how the inventory manager estimates market value; Guristas Moa Skins still get show up as 250M ISK which is laughably off by a very wide margin. I know early sales may have been near those values as ISK value for things in Eve can be in a word turbulent at best, but it's been days since the event began and they've been like that since.

I have managed to run from site to site in navy caracal with thermal amplifier and thermal field, only taking 70 damage per hit, shooting scourge precision HMs. Am about to try with younger alt and regular caracal. Having had a break from game I have found re running the same site a great way to test module and weapon effects, a lovely predictable test lab

Absolutely true! I was stoked last night, finally got my tank working right and was able to tank all 5 cruisers but it takes massive capacitor to do so with two active tanking Thermal defense modules. Only one passive. The passives just aren't strong enough.
Tried blasters, more useless than the rails, switched back to rails and stayed at 15km and was able to kill one cruiser, but it was not an optimal fit.
Discovered that the cruisers don't shoot the drones (the Frigates do... en masse!). I'm going to dump all EC 300's on them and not worry about activating the defenses except to get the ECM drones on them. Then I can stop burning through cap booster charges like mad.
Light at the end of the tunnel, but yes, awesome fitting experiment lab.

Cruisers will aggro drones if put out right away on entering site, but if you get aggro on your ship first, most times all cruisers and new spawns stay focused on your ship.
I've done 40+ sites in highsec and not seen any BPC... losing hope. Today I saw a rare bug... 10 cruisers as I entered, instead of 5. Run away! |

The T2 versions are free for those that can afford them...and very expensive for those who can't
Besides, capsuleer tears are much, much sweeter than NPC tears

Houm... if your tears are sweet, maybe you should check the sugar in your breakfast cereal... |

Caracal is tanking site with 3 defence field extenders, thermal amp and thermal field extender II. haven't had aggro of drones from fighters when I use them, just dump them out and they kill. have lost some mediums very quickly of they take cruiser aggro. Done about 30 sites in hi sec, no bpc's . about to try some lo sec to see what we can find (besides fear and our own destruction) |

I don't think it is a bug, it happened to me before when I was doing the second room, then realized downtime is few minutes away, so I docked up, then went back after DT only to find 10 cruisers instead of 5. I think this is what happened to you.

Hawk and Harpy are lots of fun. Takes a bit longer but great for running the LowSec sites. Between resists, speed and sig you tank pretty much everything without issue. DPS is a little low but still will kill everything in the end. Had some fun fights when people jumped me too. I do enjoy popping the Geckos that people in Stratios keep sending after me, each of those things is worth more than my ship. |
