It used to be oked that this mission was actually "duo of mild discomfort"
It was 2x1mill ISK battleships in normal space.
Now its a deadspace mission with 2x 2.75 mill Elder Core Commodores and 3 VERY angry sentry 3's.
I'm back at the station licking my wounded pride (and ship). Props to CCP, its a lot more fun than the ho hum of the pre-patch namesake.
Also, notably, I can warp straight to the deadspace gate, no more 15km trek
P.S What are the best harners to fit, I put 2 kinetic and 2 thermal and I'm getting spanked

I was happy when I saw this mission changed and has much more capable foes but my happiness quickly turned to sorrow when I found that the only loot they dropped was the item I was supposed to return to my agent.

Yeah I got two Dread Pith Massacrers and couldn't kill them in my Raven or Scorp before my tank fall. Trying to jam them with Scorp but couldn't brake their tank. Hmm, it seams I must use some unusual setup or use a help from Blackbird.

i had the same mission and it was a breeze
wth are u guys flying??? mind u im in a 8bil isk ship and my skills are all geared for damage and tanking..... but tbh i found it just as easy as the normal space one....
try 6 siege 1 large t2 2 hardeners therm and ken, 3 amps and 5 ballistics..... works like a charm
if u have skills and some common sense it should be a walk thru...

id say em, kinetic and thermal to be honest (if in a raven) since sentrys do em damage.

It¦s more like 1 Large II + 3 amps + 2 Hardener (kin & therm)

I had the level 3 version of this mission and I had to warp out a few times to finish it. Then, the very next mission was the old real space version with two Guristas Ascribers.
And, guess which mission gave me better rewards and more standing increase, yeah, the old easier one.
Go figure...

I believe those sentries do quite some Em damage.

I had two consecutive duo of death mission.
L3:
1 vs 2x150k rats, and 2xsentry gun IIs in deadspace
The other, vs. 2 guristas ascribers (as usual)
So I think they might have two :)

This was my first missions after patch. done it easy enough in Raven,just took a little while. Rewards were crap but the 5mil in bounties was nice.
2x 2.75 jugg torp spammers (who sit at 50k)
2 spider drones
cruise missile launcher sentry thingy.
6 siege, xlC5, 4 hardners, cap charge, 4 pdu2's, 1 bcu and 19mil sp.
Mine was guristas type version, but i do believe that you used the wrong hardners.

A couple things, 1 is that the duo of discomfort still exists. I had the easy one then the harder one as my first 2 missions yesterday.
2 you are using the right hardeners. I had a buddy doing these too he had to warp out as well, where as I didn't. The difference was in our approaches and skills. He took the sentries first, I took the Commodores. I also have better shield and torp skills than he. Our setups were exactly the same.
Big props to Zrakor and the rest of the agent team, new variety and difficulties as well as the warp in point being fixed.

Thanks for this
I think I need a second repper cos they are still hitting me a bit harder than I can repair. I'm in a tempest so my "natural" em resist is pretty high.

Thats because Eve uses an autoadjusting algo for rewards--they dont tweak them all by hand. They spelled it out when they first moved to the more complicated agent missions. It will slide into position with the old one or past it eventually. [Assuming the patch didnt disrupt other missions to much]

I changed setup and done it without further problems. Because of my not so good skills I used: 6 sieges with juggernauts, 2 kin and therm hardener, 2 amplifiers, XLarge C5, 3 balls, coproc and basic PDU (short of CPU).

Amarr Navy version wasn't quite as bad. No sentries.
2 x 2.75M True Centus Tyrants and a couple of Spider Drone Is.
Piece of cake actually - warp in was at quite long range and they're not fast enough to close.

I had this mission last night in my puny 1 bil Raven and it was simple to tank but they took a lot of torps.
I had the following:
High Slots
6 x Arbys
2 x L nos
Med Slots
1 x L DG shield booster
2 x Shield boost amps
3 x Hardners (1 x DG Tehermal, 1 x DG Kinetic 1 x DG EM)
Low Slots
All PDU T2
It works a treat against any mission that I have done so far but the larger BS that tank like *****es will require a little more time, but just drop the sentrys and spider drones or what ever you get and then send more tops that you can count at the big boys, I used 6 EM torps to break the shields and then mixe up Bane and EM for armor and re-boosted shield, IF you say this mission is simple then good for you but not everyone has the isk to have a uber ship that take the fun and challenge out of the game and to be honest if I got that good I would probly get boared with it,
When you can do an extragavansa on your own in 45 mins killing every ship and building then you are good in my book

no **** sherlock. 6 named sieges is an insta win button for this mission. I, however am a discerning pilot whos toy of choice is the tempest

Just completed it
2x True Centus Tyrants (2.5m per)
2x Spider Drone I's
I was a bit nervous so I had a friend tag along... didn't really need him so sent him home and tried to fend for myself. I cannot believe how well those things tank! Still using T1 megapulses +2 Siege launchers, I had to refit and add some beams in order to break them down.
Good mission. Could even stand for 3x Tyrants!  |
