Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried taking an Orca through the 3rd part of the Recon mission? I am contemplating this with a gang member.
Any experiences of this would be welcome before we jump in.
Cheers

You land app. 60 km from the acceleration gate. The Orca will definitely take the full amount of damage from the cloud. With proper shield resists and a damage control it might be able to survive, but I wouldn't chance it. I'd calculate it out and see.
Just as a side note, does anyone know if the sequence starts again when a new ship enters the grid? If not, you could take a properly fitted Stabber, race to the gate and sit in the second pocket, then have the Orca come through after the cloud has timed out. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

I belive a new ship coming in triggers a new set of waves, thus you'd want to get the orca thorugh the gate before any hulk pilots fly their stabbers through (hulks being carried in the orca ready for deployment on the far side).

Orca can get some 200k effective hitpoints and fit a rather tough shield tank. You'll make it through, if with the full damage, but you'll need some remote reps afterward. Doubt the gate is restricted. -------- Ideas for: Mining

I am thinking two layers of tank mind you. I got a couple invuls, a LSE and booster. Plus DC2 as 60% hull resists on that ship might make it last.
I will let you know how I get on..............

Just out of curiosity, why not a battleship? |

See here for your damage calculation. Generally, a sustainable 200dps omnitank tank is more than sufficient. |

I made it in a deep space transport, so it should work.

There's a metric assload of ore in the second pocket, but getting there requires you to get through the gas cloud. The Orca could carry 1-2 Hulks through if it survives. |

you probably can, but why would you want to? to mine the pocket at the end? the ore isn't really all that worthwhile (pyrox and plage), the orca is slow as ****, and you have a good chance of losing it. there are cheaper ships that will do the job better, if you're just running the mission. |

go one at a time.. each ship triggers a new set of damage waves. Let us know how it goes.. been contemplating it, myself. |

With the kind of tank an Orca can sport, surviving the damage waves is easy…

Is the amount of ore in the second section really worth the effort? I just complete the mission and accept a different mission that has more easily accessible ore.

Assuming your talking about going to the 2nd room in Recon 1/3 (LvL 4) then yes it is worth it. That room contains about 6mil+ Units of Veld :)
Only down side is its a 25km to the gate from room 1 > 2 which can take a while slowboating in an orca >.>

We're talking about recon 3/3 in the room after the toxic cloud.
Absolutely everything is subjective. |

I just had that mission last week, didnt pay attention to the ore or gas cloud.
So there is 6M velds in 1/3 room 2 and a gas cloud in 3/3 room 2 that I have been missing speeding thru it? |

Recon 3 is the one with the green room, where you take the massive damage trying to get through it. Once you use the acceleration gate, you wind up in the second pocket, and usually just warp off to the station from that point as the mission is completed. Well, there's a bunch of ore in there. I've never scanned it, because I need all 3 mid slots on my Stabber to get through the mission. Perhaps if I put shield resist rigs on it, but oh well. It's not that important to me. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |
