Originally by: Freay Chrome 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
It's given by an 'important storyline' mission agent (the type you get after the every 16 missions).

Looks like everyone is getting this mission, I just did it another 3 times for Sisters.
Mach and kronos with various frigs and cruisers, done in 20 minutes or so each without looting time.

I guess i can understand how anyone who just lost a ship could cry about receiving this mission, however, I hope I keep on getting it. 100 million isk plus, and a chance of good drops from the named battleship. Keep Em Coming CCP!!!

Originally by: Hidetsuga has anyone else noticed that the rats:
*Switch primary (they have an AI)
*Switch damage type (angels used kin torps on me, then switched to em torps... almost lost my golem)
*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.
Didn't had the switch primary, thank god no, because my replacement BS was really crappy while a Paladin barely was able to tank the 2nd room with 2 remote reps on it.
The strange thing was when I went back in with help this time, there where no warp scramming frigs whatsoever. But when i went in for the first time I had 6-8 frigs, 2 warp scramming, 2 jamming me and the moment I set my drones on them the jamming/ scramming frigs they stopped doing so and 4 others took over their job.
Must say, even tough I lost a T2 fit, with officer mods equipped BS, I cannot wait to get it again. :P

Edited by: Shave Well on 31/05/2010 15:11:53 HI!
Did this mission 2 days ago and it was reaally a good mission to run: difficulty and bounty. All Lvl4's should be like this :).
I ran this mission against angels (don't know if there is another version) and i made it safely and without warping out. 1st Pocket is easy...and i won't say nothing about it.
2nd Pocket was a lot difficult: 1. Killed cruisers first because they use target painters and frigs/BSes are triggers. 2. Meanwhile, i was always aligned to a space object and tanking was holding fine. 3. I decided to kill all close range BSes (Malakims) and decided to clear the frigs afterwards. 4. Then i cleared the remaining BSes. (There were 2 spawns afterwards, i think)
From my experience from 0.0, i know that the higher bounty angels BSes do EM Damage (Cherubins f.ex.) so i fitted my CNR with Omni tank and T1 Ammo.
HIGHS: 7x Cruise Missile LAunchers T2 1x HEavy Nosferatus
MIDS: X-LArge Shield Booster DG Shield Boost Amplifier 1x Expl Active Hardener T2 1x Kin Active Hardener T2 2x Invuln T2
LOWS: 4x BCS T2 1x PDS T2
5x Hoboblins T2 5x Warriors T2
This is a rather challenging mission and i have good skills...so this could be very difficult for a Low SP pilot.
Cheers

Edited by: vitaminK on 31/05/2010 15:55:33 Wish I knew about this earlier, is this offered by chance or only by specific agents? The drops also seem random. Helped two people finish this today, both times were against Angels. Very easy mission to solo in anything passive tanked. Killed off the elite frigs like usual and I could outrun or tank all the damage flying manually in my Tengu. If anyone knows how to receive this offer I'd appreciate the info, I wouldn't mind a free +5 implant.

I thought it was a blow over lvl 1 mission so I fit a comedy shield tank (couldn't be assed to fly 16 jumps and back to pick up a nanobot injector) Shield tank broke, started scratching my armor, so I flew and fit a dual tank. Completed it very very slowly. I love my companion cube. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. |

I also got this mission, I believe it was only my second 'important' storyline mission ever received by this pilot who is about a week old. After losing my ship and realizing there was no way I could handle it and then finding this thread I petitioned and the GM removed the mission from my journal and replaced it with the mission I should have received. No standing loss but quite a beating isk-wise for a new pilot.

Completed quite easily in a Tengu. Some of the frigates in the first room are triggers. Full aggro DPS is very high, over 12 BSes in the last pocket.
Faction spawn @ 9.3m was nice 25m bounties total and some faction drops

I killed all frigs/dessies, but then I had 11 bs's and overlord with the 3 arch gistum centurions on me. warped out, came back with full shields, and wasn't able to get through the shields of 1 arch gistum centurion before I was at 5% shields and booking it for the nearest aligned station.
Got mission from storyline agent, I've been running L2 agent to get to L3 agent.
Evil mission. Those with RR buddies are wise, but solo... GL.

I received this one as a lvl5 storyline today. Very strange as in the past I've only gotten mining missions for lvl5 storylines. It was somewhat difficult but I was able to solo it with a paladin after a couple warp outs. The first room was easy but the second one quickly got out of hand with several high end BS spawns. The officer npc dropped a tag, domination thermal hardener and 1000 rounds of faction ammo. Salvaging said officer npc gave one intact trigger unit and one normal armor plate. The mission reward was a +5 charisma implant (standard for lvl5 storylines) and a +3% booster hardwiring as a bonus (not standard at all).
Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

I received the mission yesterday. I fly an Apocalypse and my friend was in a Megatron. No success.. we decided to run other L4.
But I still have this storyline to do so I tried alone 10min ago. Pocket 1 is np, pocket 2....I lost my Apo :(
I can't fly a Drake nor a Tengu nor t2 BS. I am interested in seeing a working fit for an Amarr BS if someone has one.
I was so happy to get a storyline cause I'm looking to increase faction standing with Ammatar, Amarr and Caldari (got the mission from an Ammatar Consulate agent). If I fail, I will be under -5 with Amarr... :(

Just get someone with a drake who knows what they are doing. That is how we were able to do second room. Drake tanked, raven killed, we were done shortly thereafter.

I wish but they removed the storyline after I lost my ship. just noticed...
I got a "new" mail from Concord, my BS was in station, half fitted and had a new offer for a courier L4 to replace the storyline. Oh well, not same isk but my standings increased :)
Mail from Concord:
"Dear Geum Ja, A salvage operation recently recovered your "Apocalypse" class ship from a debris field in "Tidacha".
You should be able to retrieve your ship at "Tidacha VIII - Moon 13 - Ammatar Consulate Bureau".
The salvage team could not find any items that were ejected from your ship prior to its apparent destruction so if you were not able to retrieve the cargo canisters there is sadly nothing we can do.
Law requires us to notify your friendly insurance company and they have deducted any financial payout from your account.
Sincerely, Your friendly neighbourhood CONCORD police squad. "
edit: received 7.5mil for the courier storyline lol

Edited by: Laian LanLei on 01/06/2010 03:53:02 I picked up this mission on Saturday. I was running level 1 missions with an alt (doing simple courier missions to get R&D standings). Had to jump my mission running main in his CNR (18 jumps away) to complete it, but was oh so pleased with the bounties, +5 implant, hardwiring, and two Domination mods (including a handy Domination Invul). I had to warp out several times in the CNR as my cap was running out with the shield booster running the whole time. I didn't quite expect it from a level 1 storyline, but I'm certainly not complaining.

I hope you sent a petition?
I was a bit mad for the guns (meta 4 * 5 to be replaced = about 30mil with some T2 hardeners), but it's nothing compared to a Gila or what others may have lost.

You don't need to be a noob. You just need to be doing level 1 and level 2 missions. I'm doing them for caldari navy. Dunno about other agents.

If the petition is still open ask for clarification as to why you're not getting your ship back. If it's closed file another.
I asked for clarification on my petition and while they did not address the mission they did reimburse the ship.....it was a different GM.

Edited by: yurisuss on 01/06/2010 07:13:18 Lots of people losing ships in this misssion especially armor tankers. 13 battleships in last room maybe 8-10 frigs (warp scramblers and webs seems to change at warp in)and 4 cruisers. Npc ships can change targets and can blow up ships not originally agroed. Blew up a players cruiser while I had full agro. The frigates are on the harder to kill side of frigates. Full agro in second room at warp in pretty much. A slight pause between spawns in second room. Domination faction battleship in second room have seen 3.75m-10.1m bounty. Missions that I have helped on have been level 1 twice, level 4 once and level 2 once. |

Just bring 3 battleships and kill them. I guess all those other people are just too proud to ask for help.

Mission isn't hard to solo, if you are able to do lvl4 missions, on the other hand the one I completed was a mission of my friend who was doing L1 missions in a rifter :D.
First pocket is easy, second was tough, had to warp out my Maelstrom couple of times and that was it.

When I saw accts of incoming damage, I dedided to ask for help. Friend came in a Maelstrom which he uses for bonus pocket of Angel X. Second pocket is a bit crazy. He drew primary aggro, and I got the aggro from the Named and the 3 Cherubims. Aggro never switched around. I would have lost a Megathron if I had went in solo. Mission completed, named dropped a Domination AB.

Originally by: Contralto 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.
I agree with this completely - I've been in more mission fleets in a day to do this mission than i would have usually done in a week , mostly with green pilots who are getting their first fleet experience and a nice isk boost into the bargin.
i would absolutely recommend that any new pilots getting this ask in local or corp for some help (or just convo me if I'm on i'm happy to help). For those wondering who gives it it seems to be SOE storyline agents in my experience - can anyone confirm or deny? Anyway off to do another one with a mate in my logistics domi, hopefully we'll measure the dps in the second room and I'll report back.
