Just had someone help me do the mission, but I still have one more that I haven't accepted yet. Will the patch remove/disable the mission or can I take my merry time? :s
TBH my statement is based on nothing more than guesswork. CCP have known about this issue for a week, they've been working on it, and here's a patch. I imagine they'll probably remove it from people's logs, but I can't be sure and I haven't been around long enough to know what their normal system is for fixing bugged missions.

Woohoo! some ammo! and a tag.
The last room is a little abrasive, for sure. My little Osprey couldn't tank one of the spawns long enough to kill it, so I had to run a Mael t2 xlsb on full for a while, which needed the cap booster on full too. A bit worse than AE bonus, probably best to bring a friend unless you've some huge turtle tank.

I just got this mission (from Tash-Murkon Family) at 2 of 2. I wasn't aware of the problem (and I assumed I just didn't remember doing the first one), so I accepted it and warped to the encounter. Whoa, nellie! I'm so not going to be able to do this one in a Catalyst, especially if the acceleration gate's locked.
I'll file a petition to get it cleared. |

True as that is, its not listed in the patch notes so (i hope) its not removed.
As far as offered missions, if this patch fixes things, I do not think offers would be removed (they would just change it so it wasn't offered anymore - not do extra work to clear out a few offers).
I would assume its the corp that the storyline agent is with, not the corp you run the regular missions with? I bought a retribution just to farm lvl 1 missions and try to get this storyline, with no success.
PS: if you need help, send me a msg in game. I fly a paladin and can probably help you out. I am also hoping to get a nanite control book.

I really hope something is done about this bug. Considering how hard CCP came down on the planetary interaction materials deal I'd like to see similar steps taken against people who are/have exploited this "feature." Broken improved implants/bpcs/skill books.
Probably not going to happen, but it'd be nice to see a bit of constancy from our all mighty overlords

Yes, confirming that it was offered off a string of 16 level 1 missions.

Got this mission from a Minnie lvl 3 agent. Knew nothing about it and it was tough. Ended up bringing in my other character to help out and I'm glad i did. Got the +5 implant for completing it, a Domination 100mn ab, and a Machariel 1 run BPC.
Can't wait to get this one again!!!!!!!!!

Just finished it yesterday with a friend in a drake. He had a 875 dps omni tank as we heard the damage in the room was kinda bad and all kinds were dealt.
No problem with the first rooms as said. In the second room, we killed all the frigs first. The first wave of frigs did not web/scram as we killed them far away. The second wave of frigs did scarm. The frigs are tougher then the normal ones you see in your mission. Even with drone interfacing 5 and T2 drones it takes some time. My friend with HMLs did short work of them.
I focused on the bs and primaried the overlord when he was 10 km in range. Some ppl have said it would try to get out of range when you hit his armor but since he was so near he could'nt run far. And confirming that the overlord is very fast. After taking him down you just have to take down the remaining bs. Not as hard as some ppl say. You just need a friend.

All I have to say, CCP, is: KEEP THIS MISSION AS-IS, PLZ! Lvl 4's have grown 'predictable'. This is a refreshing addition to the lvl 4 mission line up... despite giving a domi in the 2nd pocket.
That's what it's all about, right? Find a way to overcome. Find the solution, whether it be a group of m8's to spider tank the hell out of it or w/e, the point is that it's a challenge... and that exactly what we needed. Thank you.

I have to say I agree with this. I soloed the entire thing in a ranged (137km missiles, 105km drones) Typhoon. It was a bit slow going, but once the range was up, the damage coming in was pretty easy to handle. The only problem was that the rats in the second pocket roam. When you jump, you could be anywhere from <10km to 30km away. I had the nooby I was running it for suicide a shuttle and then keep an eye on them from his pod so I would know when to warp in. The final pocket dumped me 60km away, so no issues there.
The Overlord in the final pocket was quite fast...the only ship keeping up with me. By the time he went down, however, I pretty much took 0 damage while I sniped everything.

This is not the first time a mission has been misplaced and properly will not be the last.
The concept about promoting team play is a good one, sadly, this mission seems too profitable for those who can do it alone (an alt is still you). Further, that makes it far too easy to farm when included in the storyline mission pool for level 1, 2 and 3, and the risk/reward people will go completely bananas hearing about this.
Having it in the level 4 storyline mission pool on the other hand would be very nice, maybe with low probability and a warning sign.

Just soloed this in a drake.
For part 2 I hit the afterburner and killed the rogues first, to prevent warp scram..
I flew away from the angry red blob and torched the fastest battleships first, then swung around for my faction loot. After that I warped, stashed my loot in station, and came back for the other 6 ships.

Kinetic Damp amp II
Ballistic damp amp II
Invul field II
2 large shield extenders
3 shield relay II

3 med shield recharge rig thingamajigs, forgot name
Used regular heavy kinetic missiles
My take came to about 150 mill

From all the experiences helping beginners and drop confirmations, this about sums it up. It's just as simple as any level 4 solo with the right setup, in this case a passive shield or stable active Angel tank being the prerequisite. The majority of the damage can be easily mitigated as already mentioned just by keeping distance. So either fly something smaller and more agile or be skilled enough if you prefer battleships. Regardless it is not difficult in any sense contrary to what some here believe. Originally by: "Me"
dude, i'm 5 months. you're dying, wat?
The mission rewards range from +4 to +5 implants with the Overlord having a chance to drop faction modules. The only downside to this mission is the ridiculous amount of profit people can make solo, although it is somewhat balanced by the random chance to receive this offer while doing level 1-3 missions. The total amount of time required also help balance considering the length of level 4 missions and profits without relying on probability. Seeing as the patch did not change this, here's hoping +5 implants will be more affordable once the market is saturated.

I must ask you not to use the petition option like this again but I personally would finish the chicken sandwich first so it won¦t go to waste.

I've completed this mission 3 times so far in my Navy Mega. Room 1 is a breeze; they never even got to my armor (fyi for n00bs Mega is armor tanker). Room 2 is harder than any L4, but doable. Comparable to L4 AE bonus room and Recon 1. Loot has been decent so far but nothing worth over 100M has dropped for me yet.
I'm sure this is a bug, but I'm elated that it's out there. Eve has been boring me lately and this is shaking things up a bit. It also has the wonderful side-effect of encouraging n00bs to seek out and team with vets to get the mission completed. All the scamming in the game tends to encourage isolation.
I hope they leave this "feature" in for a few weeks. Makes the game more interesting.

L1 here.. running a Kestrel (woo fresh off the boat).
Got this mission doing L1's, warped in, hit the first gate, and went O.O .
Took out 3 or 4 frigates from long range (missiles :)), then got hit by a bs. Knocked me down to 50% armour in one or two shots. I warped as fast as I could.
Put in a petition to make sure when I get it next time, I'll be able to get the time reward (gas cloud harvester). GM cleared it immediately, and made it so the agent gave me the proper mission.
It looks like this will probably be getting "fixed" with all these reports, as I am now doing agent missions through the same agent that are in fact Level 1 missions.
I'm kinda sad over it, actually, I would've liked to have been able to come and do this later on. Hopefully they leave it in in some form.

Hmmm, I have just turned down my 5th storyline mission from the caldari navy and still no 2/2. Been working for home guard and space lane patrol running lvl 1-3 missions. Had a storyline of each level, all of them crappy.
Should I run the 25ish or so jumps out to SoE/Matar/Amarr or do ya'll think I'm just having horrid luck? |

Posting to confirm that myself and my corpmates are late to this party and are currently spamming Level 1 missions like there's no tomorrow - can someone tell me whether or not this is still being offered?
I've heard a disturbing comment that CCP might have fixed it during downtime last night.
Any info?
Thanks.

Hi!
Just finished doing the Search Party mission - would really like to help anybody out who wants to do it. I will travel. After jumping 21 gates for an alliance member, I did it in under 30 minutes. I will tank you can do whatever you feel like doing, or I can pay you 10-15 million for the mission + you keep the 155 mill implant sit back and drink a fruity Umbrella Drink in station. You keep the reward... everything is negotiable. Also, I will give you a guaranteed ship replacement program if you decide to join in on the fight.
PM me - on 23 hours, I live in Eve for real :) |

Another thing I thought of - what frequency are people receiving this mission at?
As in, how many storylines did it take before receiving the offer for this one?
Cheers hey.

One person I know has gotten 3 storylines since he started missioning in EVE - The Search Party (2 of 2), The Search Party (2 of 2) and The Search Party (2 of 2).
On the other hand, I've gotten it twice from probably 10+ storylines. Welcome to the wacky world of pseudo-random number generators.

 Damn, what a score! He's got to be happy with that.
I'm up to Storyline #7, and still no sight of the missing Search Party. Running level 1 missions for the Ministry of War hasn't paid off yet, but here's hoping.
