Does anyone know if the big toxic cloud in part 3 of Recon can damage your pod?

Your pod will never be damaged on any npc mission

It's a giant smartbomb with a crappy interval. The only way you're doing this in a pod is to warp into it, warp out, let the cycles pulse over like 20 minutes (they continue to do so even if you're not on grid), then pilot a shuttle into it, let the final wave (which is triggered when you get near the gate) blow it to bits, then use your pod to activate the gate and complete the mission.
If you could do this without getting podded, someone would have said so by now.

It's the only mission that can damage and/or destroy your pod. The timer starts when you warp to 'start-out' location, and damage everything in the areal. Do as Khan Dhu says, or fly with decent tank, in the lvl-4 version, the last blast is 3600 hp in untanked damage, active hardners can reduce that to 900 hp in damage. (sry english isn't my best)

I don't know if you can get podded or not, but the intervals are around every minute and the final one pulses whether you're there or not.

Why use a pod, when you can do it in a T1 >1km/s cruiser, just like the lvl 2 version can be done in a T1 frig.
Has anyone done the lvl4 version in a frig though, T2 probably?

get a reasonable tank, and a fast ship and you're fine. I fly a machariel and with a good AB I can reach the gate before the big final wave hits and usually just as its starting on my armor tank

Passive tank drake. You can even ditch most of the tank and fit AB and ovedrives. This is quick and easy.

Edited by: Cirro Morceratu on 15/10/2007 12:07:55 I used a t1 caracal with some passive shield resists, medium shield booster and an AB, it worked for me, but was pretty close. (edit: also talking about the lvl 2 version)
With ab up the entire time i reached the gate before the 'final wave' though. Are there no more regular pulses after the big blast either?

Edited by: Kamuniak on 15/10/2007 13:50:09 I did L2 recon today. This char doesnt even have 3 mil sp and of those most are in science and industry. I finished 3/3 in slasher, fitted with medium shield extender, Em passive hardener and overdrive injector. I have 750 sp in navigation :P. You cant finnish this mission in pod because gates wont activate (i tried) and my pod didnt get damaged at all while i was there (altough very short time, couple of seconds).

Just fit a decent omnitank and an afterburner on a battleship and you'll be fine.

Edited by: Dretzle Omega on 15/10/2007 15:11:00 I recently did Recon 3 of 3, Lvl 2, in my Caracal just fine. Less than 2 Mil SP, about half of that in Science and Industry.
Setup: Large Shield Extender X 1 10 MN Afterburner X 1 Heat Dissipation Amplifier 1 X 1 Magnetic Dissipation Amplifier 1 X 1 Invulnerability Field 1 X 1
(I might have had an Overdrive Injector, too.)
I had the Invul Field running the whole time and the afterburner running most of the time. Got through it just fine. The cloud never broke my shields. (As Caldari I do have a few shield skills trained, but not TOO much.) The mission was probably the easiest "combat" mission I've run. ^_^ ------------------- 4 8 15 16 23 42 108 |

To those trying to do the lvl 4:
DO NOT try to do this in a frig/cruiser. You are doing level 4's so you have a battleship. Use it. Tank it well and put a mwd/AB on it.
If you try to do this in an assault frig/intie, you will get almost instapopped. You may eek by in a cruiser, but I doubt it. Drake/myrm or better and its easy.

Yeah? Wanna race my Thorax in your BC/BS through Lvl 4 Recon 3/3? Maybe if you have a Mach with faction gear or something, but otherwise you're going to loose. I think? Thorax is certainly not the best ship for this either, but it did the job just fine.

Edited by: Rex Wolfen on 16/10/2007 09:16:46 Howdy fellas,
i just did the lvl 4 Version of Recon 3v3 yesterday. Theres rly no need to pee pants. Like already mentioned above, this is lvl 4 and any decent tanked BS wil do it without any Problems.
I did it in my Hyperion:
havent done the lvl 4 version before, so i decided for a good overall Tank and AB.
1x Large Repper II, 1x kin hardener II, 1x thermic hardener II, 2x eanm II, 1x DCU II.
Damage on unhardened shields startet with 600 damage to 650 and so on. My hardened armor ( with resist around 80% ) took only 200 damage slowly growing up. Just AB to the Gate. I didnt even realized the last big wave. The damage is nothing to worry about, my armor repper brought me each time back to full armor before the next wave got me.
Just my 2 c.
Wolfen, out.

I did a lvl4 version of this mission and I loved it. 3/3 part was exciting and the scenery beautiful.
I flied this with a raven without ab/mwd. No tanking problems.

Nope .. It does not damage your pod.
However you cant do it in your pod, simply because you cant activate the stargate at the end in your pod

Umm, I did it without getting podded :) Tempest fitted with AB, 3 T1 hardeners : EM, Kinetic and Thermic. Nothing special. Its true I didn't have the AB at first and that was close :)

I figured i'd try recon 3 in a shuttle, because i thought the damage was a percentage or something (lvl 4) well that was wrong, and one of the first few waves took out my shuttle, and took me half into armor in my pod. needless to say i didn't hang out for the next wave to test if it would have killed me, but pretty sure if it can do dmg to your pod it can end it.
have fun, and it doesn't take much of a tank. i came back and finished it in a frig.

Really? What frig, what setup?
I was going to try it in either my Vigil or Punisher, but I haven't been offered Recon in a while. I don't really expect either frig to make it though.

As said before, anything NPC related won't kill your toon. However, going into this room in a shuttle, or a frig (maybe even dessie) will destroy your ship. My idea was to go in with passive tanked Rokh and come back in a crow with MWD fitted to buzz around a bit in this room, but as soon as I jumped back in I got hit by new waves. (Crow got popped)
My recomendation would be to use a ship with at least enough hitpoints to not end up in your pod. Make your way to the gate, jump and end mission.
YOu can't do this in a pod as a pod can't jump through a warpgate!
gud luck all...

Was it T2 frig ? I have tried various T1 ones and have not found setup capable of doing it. Altho granted, I have not tried faction ones in there so far.
So far I have been using shield extended stabber for it, it can get to that gate in approx 40 seconds with around 20 ..15 % shields left usually.

Edited by: Bimjo on 18/10/2007 14:51:33 Have done this before in a T2 fitted Navy Raven and obviously it was a breeze ! ! !
So last night I thought to myself lets make it a bit more fun and do it in something small but fast. Looked in my stores and picked a Malediction, by the time I got to the cloud my mission buddy was already in it for about 2 minutes and the intensity of the damage was increasing.
I was insta popped on the first wave that hit me I sat there for a few seconds gobsmacked my corpmates were ROLFing all over the place had to come back in my Raven to pick up my modules
