Been trying for a few days to complete this cosmos mission with various alts. Getting to the last room is easy enough, but when ship scanning Jeremy Tac's macherial, nothing but crap meta 1 loot apears. several of my corp mates have tried too in the past month and got nothing to show for it.
So I was wondering if any ones knows if the loot drop from Jeremy Tacs have been nerfed?

I did this mission a few weeks back and got nothing of value, Apart from inflicting frustration on the guys trying to probe me down to steal the loot and objective item. Unprobeable Tengu Ftw.
Not sure why you are scanning Jeremy's ship though, he is just the agent, cant remember the name of the mission objective rat in the last room.

If you are probed while doing the intermediate rooms, an intruder can take the short cut gate to arrive 30 minutes before you in the final room. I think the key is "Plasma Physics" at lvl 4, not 100% sure if that is the correct skill tho.
They just kill the objective, loot it and destroy the wreck before warping out, you wont see any sign they were there when you finally arrive.
I had 8 probes on scanner for the whole time, until I killed the objective, then they vanished, I guess they saw the wreck on scan and knew they were wasting their time.

sorry my bad. it's not the agent I scanned down. It was the named dude in the last room I have scanned down for the past couple of days using two characters with teh needed standings. Using a ship scanner the potential module drop was all named crap, so 0 out of 4 tries.
I'm using a unprobable T3 cruiser with my main and a alt with an unprobable logistic ship as the last room is ***** to do.

I used a Halo Tengu with a Warfare sub Loki at a safe, was taking very little damage. Sig was well under 100m
I didn't scan the objective, just killed him and warped out, my goal was the Sec increase.
I plan to head back there with an alt as soon as he hits 5.0 and has done the Caldari mission. I will string it out and see what I can scan.

Lazron Kamon [the mach] does drop something of worth [15m]. Try searching for info on that.

Use cargo scanner, dude, not ship scanner. Ship scanner can only show domination loot, while cargo scanner shows Gist loot and machariel bpc's.
Farmed it for a week, Gist C-Type X-Large SB as result.

you could always just fly a shuttle in and name your shuttle tot he npc and let it pop... so that everyone thinks you already did it :)
not like they can use ds tyo see what npc's are alive anymore :)

Tried it twice in the last week. Both times nothing good dropped from Lazron, or whatever his name is.
Those of you who have got decent drops - was this done recently?
I assume it's still dropping decent stuff or else ninja running it wouldn't be so popular (I was also surrounded by confounded probes while running it.)
Also, does anyone know if the drone mother drops anything. I've heard it drops tier overseer effects, but not which level.
Also also, has anyone bothered taking Lazron back to Utopia? Anything good come of it?

I've completed it quite recently (two or three weeks ago), though I've farmed it for a week to get decent loot.
Reward for returning Lazron to Utopia is 15kk and some Angel Cartel standing boost.

Its a Concord agent in Space In Mandoo, He gives a mission with several rooms, kill the last room Boss, return the object to The agent and get a big increase in Sec status, even if you have already hit the 5.0 ceiling. Sometimes he drops hi end Deadspace stuff, so the locals camp the system 24/7 waiting to steal the mission requirements and loot. They subsequently ransom the mission requirement back to you or you take a huge sec hit.
There is a short cut gate in an intermediate room that can be opened with a science skill, the intruders use that to beat you to the final room. Trick is to fool them by using unprobable T3 ships. The Dread sized mother Drone in the final room fires Capital Torps if you get too close, so you need a huge tank if flying a BS, hardly scratches a T3 though.
The mission is a one off so if you fail it because of the thieves your screwed. Seems everyone is at it not just pirate types.
The agents name is Jeremy Tacs, there is a real life story behind this agent. Jeremy was a player who spent a lot of time in Mandoo back in 05, he was a Quadriplegic and played Eve via blow tubes designed by his father.
He was an industrialist in Eve but could fly ships as well. he dedicated himself to helping Rookies. Reprocessing for them without charge etc. He was assisted by his father, "Daddy Tacs" and his Corporation which was very proud of him. "Grumpy old farts"
He died from his ailments and CCP created the agent as a tribute to him. I never met him as he departed just before I joined around RMR, but I flew with his corpmates and heard a lot about him.
Here is the thread by his father announcing his death in 2006, its a "lump in the throat' read if you have the time. A part of Eve History.
