Did the mission in a Dominix, got owned in second room, warped out with 50% in structure. Had a corpmate coming in a rattle and was just able to tank the whole room fast enough to we could kill stuff so the tank didn't break.
Overlord dropped a tag, had a 12m bounty and had 2x tech 2 salvage loots.
Mission reward:
+5 memory implant (roughly 100m sell)
Gas Cloud Harvester (600k) <<< YES why didn't I get a cool skillbook that could sell for mills??!! :p
I believe, getting all the salvage together with bounty me & my corpmate made 100m each, a total of 200m if anyone would be able to solo this one.
I had angel version of it, although it seemed that the faction boss did odd damage.

You'll still need to stay the edge of your range to minimize incoming damage (keep running), but I haven't had to warp out once. When you warp in to the second room, for god's sake don't sit still, align to the sun or something and keep running while firing.

For the second room it broke my alts 1200 dps tank based on eft 50/50 exp/kin damage profile and I had a shield tank. The second room couldn't break a 1400 dps eft 50/50 exp/kin shield tank. I blew up a couple of ships before warping out first time so take that into account. 10.1m bounty ship in second room. A drake or myrm tanking would work and then use other ships as dps. |

I am going to add my two cents.
A three days old player asks for help with storyline mission. Says there are bs in there. I got my L4 Raven (with wrong resists) so I pick up the call. They fleet me, off we go.
First room is not too bad. The feel is very L4 mission like. There are some frigs, some bc, some regular bs and a couple of gisti saints. I kill most of them. No problem.
Second room. Bad news. I remember 4 Gisti Cherubim and I think there was 4 Saints or Seraphim. 4 arch gisti cruisers. At least one scram frig and at least one web frig. When I warped in first time, I was able to get some distance, but I had second rate ammo (kinetic damage instead of explosive and wrong shield resists). So I did what I can and then warped out. When I came back, I warped and there are the Cherubims 20-30 km away, they started throwing Bane torps, that and other damage brought my shields down in no time. The second time I came back, I was watching the log, with two t1 explosive shield hardeners, I was getting 345 points of damage three times in a row. There was another 200+ of other damage, devastator cruise missiles and other stuff. The player, who invited me, found someone in a Drake. We finished the second room with Drake tanking the room, me in Raven and a rifter. We also had faction bs in second room. Our's was Overlord something, but description said: Domination Saint. I think 8.4 mil isk bounty, faction ammo, implant, some named modules.

Corp mate got this running L1s, and I called him a liar at first. The first room was a bit tough with my Typhoon due to the accel gate throwing me in right on top of everything, but the second one was pretty straightfoward with the starting distance I was given. I had a friend come in a few minutes after I took out the 7mil bounty and he helped me clean up the frigs and remaining BS.
Obtained a Domination 100MN AB and a Domination Heat Dissipation Field from the high bounty, and a +5 implant for a reward, as everyone's been saying. A pretty nice haul for a small team.
Still...there's no way that L1s are meant to get this mission.

Got offered this mission via eve mail from a level 1 agent. Tried to research it but found nothing.
Could not resist it and sent my best fitted and rigged Coercer
Should have fitted mint sauce in all my slots ..... got slaughtered.
Cost me dear and all I was trying to do was recover my gear from my ships wrecks.
Lesson for me is if the rewards are that attractive treat with care ......
Back to mining now to replace my loses.

Haha, I just got this one too. I am 20 days old doing lv1 and 2. Jumped in and wow are those battleships? Thought the objective might be to run to the next accel gate, poor rifter didn't make it. Guess I have to take a big faction standing loss now.

I got this mission today from level 1 agent. I increase standing for one amarr NPC corp and I run these low level missions in zealot with heavy pulses, shield extender, AB, web, 4 heat sinks, 2 overdrives and damage control.
So i warped in the first pocket. I was little bit surprised by BS in "level 1" mission, but after 10 minutes pocket was clear. Then I warped into second pocket, aligned to planet and started shooting incoming frigates. I killed three frigates but damage was too high so I warped out with shield at 20%.
Then I warped in again and things went from bad to very bad  . I landed right in the middle of group of BS, I managed to get the full speed before they locked but I didnt noticed that I am flying straight into the group of frigates. Got 2x web = almost stopped, 2x scram and died in 10 seconds.

Patch notes say this mission is fixed. I can say that it isn't as I received the mission after farming level 2 missions. I also never received part 1 of what is obviously a 2 segment storyline mission set. I put a ticket in as I don't want to take a faction hit because CCP can't write code.
On a side note, I didn't loose a ship as I knew something was up when a warped in. That much red and big red at that meant something was obviously wrong.

Yeah i had some guy ask me for help a few days ago, turned out it was this mission. Thought it a bit odd for L2 but i powered thru the first room in my legion....and lost it cause i couldnt hit the scram frigs in the 2nd room. Fortunately he sent me a PLEX for my troubles XD

I'm running some level 1 missions for Archangels out in Curse, when I got assigned this, at least a level 4 for sure. Interestingly, NPC opponents were themselves Angel Cartel.
I finished the first room in my Wolf, but lost it in the second room.

Did it twice tonight, helping confused rookies.
Best fun I have had in a long while, most lvl v's have nuets so require gimped passive ships, this was all out Active tank and gank. Second time did it alone in my trusty old kronos with pimped fit.
Mission owner buzzed around trying to chase down the elite frigs in his catalyst
This is like a mini Armageddon day for Rookies.

Just got a reply from a GM for my petition of this mission. Keep in mind this is a LEVEL 2 storyline mission. Paraphrase of reply as follows:
The mission is working as intended. No issues can be verified.
Can we say ashats?
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this expansion is not the industry expansion it was made out to be. It is the mission nerf expansion. Not much point playing this game any longer.

This is the second time I have had this, both times from storyline after running L1's.
I could clear all but last three BS using a Vexor in first room.Had to get help. Then we went intot the second room. Wasn't so bad until we left and had to return.
THEY WAS WAITIN' FER US! I could go in with Vexor and last maybe 30 seconds before I had to warp out. My friend in BS would only last a minute and three times they got into his hull. No ship losses but lots of repairs for him (I run rep'rs "just in case...".
Finally finished it with a my Vexor and a buddy with a Paladin - and we still had to go back several times as he could only tank for about two minutes. Finally killed enough that we could stay in and finish them off.
Got the +5 implant but no Gas cloud harvestor. About 18M ISK in my half of the bounties, tho

I am not criticizing you and I am not promoting this particular move by CCP. I have a question though. Why not ask for help in local or in your corp? I mean, they did not do this to all the missions and this is storyline mission which might or may not come up every 16 missions. So. Why not to ask for help?

Asking for help is not the point. Personally, I tank l4's all day. Does this mission even belong in a l1 and l2 mission category? It doesn't even belong in a l4 mission category.
Seriously, if CCP's intent is to raise the bar and make missions more difficult so that they can't be completed by a missioner then what's the point in striving to overcome their difficulties.
With the recent mission assignment changes and this addition to l1 l2 mission categories, if you have negative standings and desperately need to raise them it's going to be impossible.
Really....WTF is CCP smoking. I want some it.

I was just offered this as a level 2 Storyline (ouch). I did not accept it. I filed a petition and politely asked that I be offered something else. I was asked for the agent that I was missioning from BEFORE I was offered the storyline and the GM was able to assign me something realistic.
Two pencils, sharpened to a razor-like point, are my only defense. |

I got offered this mission while running Level 1 Sisters of Eve agents. I'm able to run L5 missions so doing it wasn't much of a problem. I just wished that the overlord had dropped something good instead of a domination armor hardener.

One thing that this mission is doing successfully is bringing normally solo mission runners to work together, in the system I was in last night many calls for help were being answered and the mission being done in groups, surely this is a good thing. The rewards are sufficient for 3 or 4 players to get a decent return plus learn how the mission running endgame looks. I hope CCP has the foresight to keep it as a feature.
Actually it takes me back 5 years to when I joined a group of 15 vets and Rookies to do the huge Amarr fleet on that lvl 2 mission, cant remember the name, the fleet isn't a mission requirement but it will attack if approached. as a week old rookie,I was in awe of the Raven spewing Torps at the huge battleships well over 100km away (pre nerf) the rest of us were dying like flies.

has anyone else noticed that the rats:

*last but not least... teleport I have run htis mission 4 times, the firs t and last time ive seen a bs teleport at half structure ACROSS THE MAP! (wtf)
oh btw: this mission given by a lvl 1 agent? ccp expects to much from rookies now aday.

I see your point, but for this 'feature' you don't need such an overwhelming force against you as a lvl 1/2 mission runner.
I got this mission when doing lvl 2 missions and although I'm thankful I got some guys to help me, it wasn't fun at all for me: I did no DPS at all against these battleships, I had to run mostly to avoid getting ganked. When I did target an elite frigate I could handle, it was one-shotted by the other guys. No fun at all, just confrontation how lowly you and your ship still are. It's a bug. |

Who gives out this mission? I've done quite a few missions for CN but never gotten this one.. sounds interresting :)
I guess it's a storyline?
I've a lvl 4 Fed navy agent too.. better chance there?
Thanks in advance
