Jen Tarii	Posted - 2011.03.30 20:19:00 - [1] SMASH THE SUPPLIER. Of all the missions I've done, this one takes the cake by a mile. It is the hardest mission to do solo (additional ships make it easier of course), as the incoming DPS eventually rises to the point where I've got maybe 45 seconds of fight time before I have to warp out (multiple times; yes, it can be blitzed but I'm talking about dealing with the 40 ship blob). What do you consider to be the hardest Level 4 mission to do with a properly fitted ship?
adriaans Amarr Ankaa. Nair Al-Zaurak	Posted - 2011.03.30 22:54:00 - [2] No lvl 4 is even remotely ''hard'' or ''challenging'' at all. smash the supplier takes like 3-5 mins at most and is rather easy. --signature-- F.CS boost: Here Vid: Link

Wet Ferret	Posted - 2011.03.30 23:16:00 - [4] Stop the Thief It's the only mission that requires any kind of tank Oh yeah, about my sig... you have now read it.
Jen Tarii	Posted - 2011.03.31 00:25:00 - [5] I'm not talking about blitzing the mission, I'm talking about staying and killing all the rats that spawn. I'm interested in hearing from folks who kill all the rats in Smash The Supplier for the loot and salvage.

What do you consider to be the hardest Level 4 mission to do with a properly fitted ship? I have to agree that level 4 missions are hard... I can at this point tank most all of them.. The issue is my dps. I did a calculation on EFT and found out that the difference in dps between what I can do right now and what I would do with all skills at 5 is about 27 points of dps. So..... its not really worth training all my gunnery skills or ship skills to max because even if I did level 4 missions would STILL take forever! The price I pay for fitting my domi with tech 2 medium rail guns.. DO YOU KNOW WHY?!?! because the domie can only fit 3 heavy guns before it say "OH NOES the cap/power cant handle it."

This mission can be done in a Tengu or Cerberus without being hit...evah!. Meanwhile killing everything, if you so desire. Patri I'll Roshambo You For That Titan!
Yxalitis	Posted - 2011.03.31 03:25:00 - [8] Nope, far from it... The hardest, (and compared to DED complexes, not hard at all), is probably World's Collide. Why? Because upon warp into the 2nd area, you can get room aggro very easily. Also, you can get scrammed by 2 frigates, and webbed by as many as 6! Unless you tank is impressive, and doesn't rely on speed, you will find yourself gazing at your wreck from a pod in no time. I don't believe in signatures, not even really cool ones like "This signature intentionaly left blank"

This Only under the condition mentioned above though I think the total DPS there is over 1000 if yo mess up royally and get full room aggro. Pod
Potato IQ	Posted - 2011.03.31 07:39:00 - [11] Enemies Abound 5 of 5 If you fail to clear each spawn rat before the next shows, your troubles start and you can and will become swamped as the timer starts as soon as you hit the room. Warping out and back only makes matter worst as likely another spawn will appear whilst you were travelling
catinboots Minmatar Vintage collective	Posted - 2011.03.31 07:46:00 - [12] Since i always refuse missions against other factions i never did that one, but in my opinion there are no really hard lvl4missions, unless youmess up the aggro to liven it up a bit they allcan be done in a relative well fitted ship, you don, even need faction modules they only makes thing even easier,if you want some harder missions , try the lvl4 epic arcs, ascending nobles mission in the amarr arc or thefinal mission in both the gallente and caldari arcs , they will give you a sweat if you do them for the first time,,I am still working to get standing for the minmatar one so don't know about that one yet ________________________________________ Minmatar are like jedi knights, we use ductape as our force, it has a darkside and a sticky side

Most people do not even know what these mission exists. By difficult I am not only talking about the fact that they are located in no sec space, but also that these mission are made for fleets and are hugely unbalanced due to recieving no attention from devs either. -- Mr. Science & Trade Institute - EVE Lorebook - Mysteries of W-space

Warping out and back only makes matter worst as likely another spawn will appear whilst you were travelling Yes, this is the only mission I've ever lost my ship in (Abaddon). I made the mistake of taking the agents advice (destroy the star gate as quickly as possible), rather than other players advice (run away from the stargate as soon as you warp in).
Deerin Minmatar Murientor Tribe	Posted - 2011.03.31 11:27:00 - [15] Edited by: Deerin on 31/03/2011 11:26:57 I usually just kill the tower. But once I tried to kill'em all. It took a while but I got it eventually. I used a standard arty mael and just kited them while killing them. At one point they decide to go back to control tower. You just follow them back in that case. Bottomline is: Just blitz it. You can do other missions during that time. ------------------------------------------- Die Amarr Die!!!
Srioghal moDhream	Posted - 2011.03.31 13:48:00 - [16] EA 5/5 is the only mission I have lost a ship to as well. Definitely the hardest if you do it wrong. But as said above, none of them are actually hard. Just require proper strategy and planning. On the other hand, I remember farming EA 5/5 for around 50 mil a pop and it only took 30-40 min to clear, loot and salvage. Probably faster now with tengu and noctis.
Ghengis Tia	Posted - 2011.03.31 14:04:00 - [17] Concur, EA 5/5.
Holdout	Posted - 2011.03.31 14:05:00 - [18] Edited by: Holdout on 31/03/2011 14:09:58 ITT: OP asks legit question, is answered with "nothing is hard if you make no mistakes and do everything perfect". Edit: EA 5/5 and WC are ones most likely to make somebody lose a ship imo.
Crabs Collector	Posted - 2011.03.31 14:10:00 - [19] If you have a properly fitted marauder, none of the 4's are hard. Things only get tough if you have a badly fitted BS and/or trigger the wrong things.
Candygram Landshark	Posted - 2011.03.31 14:13:00 - [20] proper skills + a couple key faction fittings = all missions are simple. without the aforementioned pimpness and some lvl 4's are tough as hell.
Race Imperiled Minmatar	Posted - 2011.03.31 16:11:00 - [21] Edited by: Race Imperiled on 31/03/2011 16:11:29 I don't find a lot of L4's difficult, but there are quite a few where even the slightest mis-step in pulling aggro can completely screw you up. Eve-survival mission guides are a god send in this regard. (Personally, I'm still having a bit of trouble running The Blockade as I seem to get damped to hell even with a sensor booster. But that's my own lack of experience/fit weakness.) Edited for spelling *** Available for Hire
Illectroculus Defined Chooch Inc. Twilight Federation	Posted - 2011.03.31 17:31:00 - [22] Hardest Level 4's I've found are in the epic arcs In the gallente arc you have Assistance where you get 12 Mercenary battleships plus support dropped right on top of you, luckily the wingmen only use webs, no scrams. Later in the same arc you get Showtime which has 8 elite minmatar battleships that move very fast and do lots of damage, followed by 6 elite Syndicate battleships which do the same thing but with different damage types. The Amarr arc 'Right To Rule' features a couple of hard missions - Ascending Nobles has 5 elite BS's that do about 1200dps at 50km range while their support cruisers neut your cap and tracking disrupt. And as a bonus, after you retrieve the mission objective if you lurk around it'll spawn 8 each of elite BS/Cruisers/Frigates For all these extreme DPS situations I use a Rattlesnake with TII purger rigs and fancy deadspace hardeners, depending on how worried I am I can get it to tank upwards of 3000dps with an alt providing command ship boosts. Spaceships!

You are entirely correct on the level of difficulty of the epic arc mission, but I feel I must correct you there; Mercenary Wingman use both web and warp scramblers. It is just by chance if they use them or not (the chance is more than 1% imo.). -- Mr. Science & Trade Institute - EVE Lorebook - Mysteries of W-space
Radix Salvilines The Gummy Bears Blue Meanies	Posted - 2011.04.01 08:59:00 - [24] There are no hard lvl4 missions. There are only missions with small amount of rats to kill and larger amount. Once a mission runner realises that it is not about tanking the rats but killing them so fast you do not have to tank they all get stupid easy. Really - invest in hi dps, know the mission youre going to do, where are the spawns, work a tactic so that rats can't get to close but you can kill them easily. For missions where rats do come close (for example upon entering the dungeon) use a hac or better fast t3 ship instead of hi damage bs/marauder.

Julian Koll The Kollektive	Posted - 2011.04.01 11:22:00 - [26] Smash the supplier is cool. 5min work for 25m isk, yes please.
Dek'athor	Posted - 2011.04.01 12:16:00 - [27] Originally by: Julian Koll Smash the supplier is cool. 5min work for 25m isk, yes please. Blitzing...meh...real men exhaust all the BC/BS spawns, and only after no new ships spawn...kill the mission trigger. I do this mission for the tags, first shoot up the frigates, then the frigate shipyard to stop any more frigates from spawning. Then mince everything up from ~60km range and 550+m/s orbit speed around one of the structures. It takes about 25 minutes (or so it seems) for the full spawn to happen and for the stuff to be killed. If choosing to do this mission on the kill all route, it's required that you also loot/salvage every ship, otherwise you just shoot yourself in the isk/h foot.
Fulmar Muse	Posted - 2011.04.01 12:51:00 - [28] Edited by: Fulmar Muse on 01/04/2011 12:55:16 They're like going to the toilet. Make sure u have bog roll, poo, wipe bum, make sure u dont touch your anus... , flush... wash yer hands(optional) Make sure u have the right ammo/hardeners, don't shoot the triggers 1st thing, make sure u recover item (contextual). So similar, maybe that's why missioners are 10 a penny Edit: ed... got pooing things in wrong order "Keep on doin what you doin, do it gud.. huuh!" Super fly]
Sendraks The Spice Weasels Must Flow	Posted - 2011.04.01 12:56:00 - [29] Originally by: Candygram Landshark proper skills + a couple key faction fittings = all missions are simple. without the aforementioned pimpness and some lvl 4's are tough as hell. Faction fits are not necessary, T2 fitting makes level 4s easy enough. Really it all comes down to skills and your choice of ship. If you're in a missile boat or drone boat, level 4s are easy enough from the outset. For gunboats it is more of a slog until you get skills trained. Even then it isn't so much a case of difficulty as time taken.
Sandrestal	Posted - 2011.04.01 14:19:00 - [30] Originally by: Jen Tarii SMASH THE SUPPLIER. Of all the missions I've done, this one takes the cake by a mile.

What do you consider to be the hardest Level 4 mission to do with a properly fitted ship? Fit a sniper ship with a AB and head out to about 100k. Keep heading away and kill frigs first and cruisers second. Kill BS's last. Never let BS's under 60k range. When done come back in noctis and clean up.
