While I'm still grumpy about being forced to do agent missions in order to be involved in the new stuff, I am starting to get some entertainment out of the level-3 combat missions. Republic Fleet has been pretty good for that; sometimes I'll get 10 combat missions in a row out of my agent without having to courier.
Occasionally I do hesitate before accepting a mission to kill one of these new unfamiliar ship types though. You can't know whether you're about to find yourself face-to-face with some uber super-battleship when all you have to go on is the name. No battleships yet for me however, just cruisers. But thought I'd start sharing in the interest of learning something from someone else.
Have had to take out Slave Traders (both Ammatar and Khanid) which are 50k cruisers, and reasonably interesting. The slavers and their escorts look kind of cool too. But slavers are bad, so all blown up of course.
Have gotten Mercenary Cruisers, (30k) escorted by Mercenary Fighters. A bit too easy.
Sometimes The Thief will be escorted by a pair of Rogue Pirate Escorters. (35k cruisers) They can hit pretty hard from 30km out. Was chatting in corp channel during the last battle, and actually got myself into a little trouble. (took some armor damage. very embarassing)
Once I got an Amarr Fleet Detective. No bounty. Did put up a good fight though, and came at me pretty fast. I've been wondering afterwards if it was an elite frigate.
Also ran into an Amarr Navy Scout (it didn't last long enough for me to look at it) and Angel Convoy Transports. (which drop contraband. What do I do with that?) And of course, the ever-present Krull and the idiot Damsel he keeps running off with.
What have you seen out there? Anything cool?

When I was just screwing around and doing a Serpentis mission or two, I fought a Gallente Navy Scout. He was in an Atron, but that Atron was able to take quite a beating, and when the two Light Missiles he was able to fire hit me, they were identified as "Sabertooth Light Missile II."
Yep, tech II missiles. ------------- My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants. I <3 ( . Y . ) |

Hehe, you are not alone in that. This was my first post-castor kill mission from my lvl 3 agent. I heard the hype that they were beefed up a little and when the objective read "The theif and 2 Rouge escorts" you could forgive me for thinking that the "Rouge" escort was the Angel Rouge. "Beefed up?" said I.
So when I warped in my main focus was on the theif's info screen to see how tough he would be, expecting him to be in the larger ship, maybe a cruiser, not even looking at the rouge escorts window. So I was pleased that it was just a frigate. Easy money right? Hahahaha!
Wasn't I surprised when the "rouge's" started hitting me with heavy beams and thunderbolt missiles.
I never made that mistake again. God knows how how I didn't lose all my sheilds as I was down to about 5% as my cap ran out, but I was making some range between me and them quickly to recharge a little. ------

I had one of those Guardian Sentries also togehther with an Iteron Mk V. Theres seems to be a similar mission with an Iteron Mk V protected by a Thorax called Guardian Trooper. Personally I like Mercenary Commanders most because they dropped some improved medium rails and artilleries.

Had an Arch Angel (75k) once... that was interesting, do not let that guy within <10km, webbifying autocannon carrying bastid.
Amarr Scouts are Executioner Frigates, they go *splat* nicely.

them rogue pirate escorts are the baddest ones i have had to take out....them being two and using 150 damage missiles = bad for you.
had one 75k baddie once...kind of cool, but since he was out on his own he was easy target. ...new sig coming up Ravenal - Fate is what you make of it. |

I have come up against an Indy guarded by a Guristas Inferno (65k MOA), it fires cruise missiles at you every 4/5 secs and MWD's towards you.
Didnt know what it was when I read the description, luckily I took my Apoc along.
