I've gotten this mission 4 times on the 26th of this month and not a single time since.
Was running LVL 3 missions for Quafe Corp, Intel Division.
I've read about a few ppl complaining a little about loosing battleships to this mission but come on...
It says plain as day at the bottom of the mission journal entry that attacking the convoy would be a bad idea.
(I lost a fully insured Tempest on my first attempt at attacking them)
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is still getting this mission regularly and for what Corp/division?
It would be a shame to loose one of the two "trully" challenging lvl 3 missions due to a few petitions.

I got a Sabotaged from a level II agent just yesterday.
The BS spawn was a doozie - 3 Gallente Navy Megathrons , 5 Gallente Navy Thoraxes and 8 GN Type II Escorts (Tristians I think)
The odd thing was the "Gallente Nave Megathons" were actually Domnixes. Odd.
Given I was in a Vexor and rather unwilling to even think of ****ing off the gallente navy, I (tried to) sold the location to the spawn in escrow. Does that make me a bad person? :)

If i wanted to bring a buddy in a BS as well, what would be the best way to go about that? Have him in gang when i accept the mission, gang him after i find the convoy? I dont mind losing some standing, but i dont want to inconvenience my corpmates who have 0 standing to caldari navy..

How much of a standing hit do you take for attacking the convoy ? And when do you get the hit, when you open fire or when you kill a ship (or both) ?
Do you also have to avoid faction or corp (or both) for a time after you attack the convoy ?

I've only bothered killing the Navy Ravens twice but I won't be doing it again.
It's pretty hard to kill them and I almost lost my Dominix doing it but when I checked the loot cans I got absolute crap loot.
Ir's not worth the time taken and the ammo, tbh.
LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! |

Yeah, I agree with Joshua. I do not kill the convoy anymore. Last times I killed it they droped normal stuff like any other ship in the game lpus you are getting a hit in your standing. They are not dropping good loot as their prior versions were doing. |

If you want to destroy and loot the optional encounter in the sabotage mission here are a few pointersà
Upon arrival at the battleship encounter, when they give you the three bookmarks, take some time take make additional bookmarks around the spawn. I prefer 100km ahead and 100km behind the spawn. You also are going to want to pick out some nice celestials to warp to, stations, moons, and planets, whateverà
Next go and do the rest of the encounter. Kill the three cruiser/frigate spawns, and recover the ôspecial deliverö box. Take all the loot back to station, and dump it into your hanger. Do not tell the agent you are done.
Find a buddy that has a battleship, or more than one buddy in a battleship, and give them the bookmarks to the three-battleship spawn.
All of you need to warp out to the spawn initially. Do NOT gang with your buddies. Ships should be configured for long-range engagement.
They can either work the whole spawn down, or pick out the battleships, and only destroy them. The actual engagement consists of sniping a target from long range, and warping away before the spawn closes to the point where they can scramble or web you. I usually pull the plug and run, at 40km. The firing ships should be aligned towards a destination, and be moving at full speed towards it, so when you order warp, it happens almost instantly.
As long as you personally do not fire upon the spawn, and are not ganged with anybody who is aggressing the spawn your neutrality will be preserved. You can go and pick up the loot cans while your buddies are shooting them. You also will not take standing penalties.
As far as the person who sold the sabotage bookmark in escrow. Ha! You just scammed somebody. As the bookmark is useless unless the person it is tied to warps to the spawn first, and stays nearby. If you dock, or leave the system the battleship spawn disappears.
Overall the loot has been on the poor side. I have gotten a few meta battleship items, but nothing outstanding.

I've done a lot of lvl 3 kill missions and never seen this one. Done the Mordus one many times (but only 100K & 110K rats at end). BS spawns would make for a good challenge, as it is they're getting quite boring. Is it because my agent doesn't have it available, or my standing with her isn't high enough?

I being an amarr pilot get amarr ships... strange that :P
but yeah after many many tried i have found a way to take on said ships...
that foe me being
3x apocs
5x mallers
8 AN GAMMA II Frigates aka Inquisitors
Last time i took them on i was in a caracal.
I would shoot one ship at long range with heavy missiles
drag him out kill him and repaeat till only apocs were left
some four hours later i killed off the fleet. looted the cans got good loot from it. 
Leftthe system and came back they respawned. I decided toplay it safe.
So it can be done. just takes alot of work and trickery
HINT if u warp off while under attack and come right back they dont shoot you.

Who let the cows out?! mOo. mOo. mOo.. mOo mOo...!
WTB 8x 280mm Scout Howies. Will pay 20% more than Naga's current price |
