Warp Core Stabilizers now give penalty to targeting range and scan resolution, about 50% for tech 1

The second stage can be a real pain in the ass, especially with angels. The sentry guns do a ton of damage, and the missile batteries are popping off 450 dmg heavy missiles. Unless you have a solid, high-HP, high-resist tank and a quick way to eliminate the webbing/scrambling frigs, chances are you will get pwned very rapidly. Once the frigs and cruisers are down, the turrets and batteries are tankable, so you can just grab the documents out of the can (I shot that for 20 damn minutes before I realized that all I had to do was walk up to it and use it as a cargo can) and head home.

When I did this mission, it was against Angels and I was using my Brutix. Due to the shear volume of incoming fire, Im think a very good tank is needed. This lead me towards thinking that either a Prophecy or Ferox would be a better Battlecruiser due to thier higher resistances.

It seems that most people who have done this have been in Assault ships and Battleships? Has anyone completed the second part of this (against Angels) in a crusier? If so, can you give me some ideas towards your setup? thanks.

Maller:

5x Medium Beam II

1x Y-S8 AB
1x Webber
1x Large Peroxide Cap Battery

1x Medium Armor Rep II
2x Hardener
1x 1600mm Nanofiber
2x CPR

There is only one mission that ever forced me to warp out even once, and that was The Spy Stash. I had to kill the webbing frigs in the second level, warp out for repairs, then come back in. Extravaganzas and missions like The Black Market Hub are so easy as to be boring.

And believe me, the older players would have killed to be flying level 3 missions in a BC in three moths.

Did this mission in my Typhoon last night with 1 large armour repairer and 3 hardeners (EX/Kin/Therm) cause it was the angel version.....(snip)

It's an online game. Online games are always populated at people who look at their wood elf and whine that everyone else's dagger is bigger than theirs.

Just "experienced" the lvl 3 mission Spy Stash mission and was trying to see if what I found is normal.

For those who have not encountered it, it is a deadspace mission involving two pockets. The first is populated by several groups of angel ships, and some light missile turrets.

Although it is unnecessary, I cleared out the first pocket without too much difficulty. Flying a Brutix, and warping out when the cap drained. The cruiser rats fire some heavy missiles and seemed to have a reasonable tank against my Brutix's 200mm rails.

I then used the second gate to move onto the second pocket, and this is where the fun started. There are several sentries and an a group of rats. If I remember correctly, its about 4 sentry guns, two of which are firing heavy missiles.

It took the rats less than 10 seconds to destroy my Brutix. I was being hit by Havoc heavy missiles for in excess of 200 damage against shields (60% resist) and armour (50% resist). My ship was also warp scrambled, so I tried to switch target to the tacklers. My UI was still displaying 80-90% hull when I got the "Ship Out Of Control" message.

The last entry in the log is a missile hitting my hull for a staggering 450 damage.

Has anyone else encountered anything similar? And for those yet to attempt this mission, dont forget the speed and rate of fire of the rats.

Edit:
I mean to say, it was an explosive heavy missile doing the 450 damage. The other heavy missiles were doing under 100 damage per hit against shields and armour.
