Stuart85	Posted - 2005.07.19 02:51:00 - [1] Erk. I've just got this mission and I can't decide whether or not to attempt it - thank god I looked it up in these forums first. I'm in a Ferox which I really don't want to lose, can anyone suggest a specific setup for this mission? Especially what type of hardners I should be using. On other lvl 3 missions, the webbers/scramblers/interceptors always take me a while to kill, even with 5 Heavy Lauchers (thanks for the nerf CCP) and 3 Medium drones on them, so I don't fancy being swarmed by cruisers and pounded by turrets while I try to do it this time. Now that I think about it, I might just give it a miss, but feel free to give me your opinions anyway.

Stuart85	Posted - 2005.07.19 03:23:00 - [3] Originally by: Blind Fear Which NPCs did you get with it? "Agents from the Guristas managed to infiltrate one of our stations..." I didn't realise that it could be different pirate factions each time. So, I think I've answered my own question in regards to resistances. I should go all-out Kinetic then? Anyway, I'll tell you what I'm using at the moment in my Ferox: Highs: 5x Malkuth HL, 2x 250mm 'Scout' Rails Mids: 1x Large Clarity Ward Booster, 1x Large Azeotropic Shield Extender, 1x AB, 1x Active Kinetic Hardner (50%), 1x Passive Thermal Hardner (32.5%) Lows: 3x RCU, 1x PDS I'm not that pleased with this setup, especially having the lows filled with RCUs instead of damage mods, but I needed them to fit the Large Shield extender. In place of the Shield Extender, I used to use another active hardener, and that freed up the Lows for at least two Ballistic Controls mods. Maybe I should go back to the old setup, or maybe you could recommend a new one?

Stuart85	Posted - 2005.07.19 15:42:00 - [5] Just completed the mission in my Ferox, was quite tough but I didn't actually have to warp out once. I think I may have been lucky though, the Guristas are easier to tank and I only came up against one interceptor on the second stage. If I hadn't had the shield resists that I did (74.5% Kinetic and 66% Thermal) then there's no way in hell I would have managed. Even with those resists, a large shield extender, and large shield booster those turrets on the second stage had me down to 16% shield. If they had breached the sheild then the armour and hull would have gone in seconds. I would only do it again if it was Guristas, if it's Angels then I'll leave it. BTW, I only have about 1.9 million skill points, and about 1 million of them are in learning skills. I wouldn't really recommend anyone tries it with less.
