Edited by: Def Antares on 19/07/2005 10:39:32 Has anyone successfully been able to solo the 5th Stage of Guristas Extravaganza? I had no problem dealing with the first four levels, but in the fith stage they hit me so hard, that I maybe can kill one Tower Sentry before I have to warp (and hope I make it ...)
Setup: 4 Siege, 2 Cruise, 2 450mm 100 MN AB II, l. sb II, 2 kinetic, 1 heat, cr II usual stuff
maybe use 4 or 5 kinetic hardeners? Since the BS shoot with juggernauts and only the few cruisers use hybrid ammo that deals heat damage this could be a solution. I dont need to go to range here, since everything is insta aggro anyway, so I could swap the AB for something else too ... but it's too short before downtime now, but I really would like to hear opinios of pilots that managed to accomplish that mission. thanks

Edited by: Bozse on 19/07/2005 11:29:08 First thing, for this mission u realy dont need the AB as u dont have to travel anywhere, then if u try to kill the sentry first u will have everything agress u witch isn't realy a good thing.
I usualy pick of the once that are right at the gate when u come in then i go from left to right and pick of the groups individualy and let the sentrys shoot at me the whole time.
My sugestion for your midslot would be XL C5-L, 2x Kin, 1x Therm , 2x Amps.
And for your low 5x PDU t2 or 4x PDU t2 and one dmg mod depending on skills and what seems to work best with your fitting.
Dont know if u can get it on there or not as it was way to long ago i flew an ordinary raven with ordinary t1 stuff =/

My old corp mates used to use the speedraven - fit a Sensor Booster and an AB, tank the sentries and proceed away from the rats. When the sentries stop shooting because your out of range, fire off volleys of torpedoes at each rat starting with the smallest. By the time any of them get on top of you there will be very little left to tank.
Course this doesnt work anymore with the new missiles, but you might be able to pull it off with Cruise.

Edited by: Inspiration on 20/07/2005 20:05:49 DON'T....yes DON'T fire at the turrets, but tank them the whole time you kill ships group by group. Shooting a turret on this level will activate ALL groups and then you die if you don't get out of there right away!
When you follow this advice, its an easy level (if you did not have had problems with the ones before)!
Check out my Shield/Armor resistance calculator.

well, Def Antares
I would be very glad to invite you to a Lvl4 Angel Extravaganza, just to see your face , lol.
The Guristas is way to Easy, considering it is dropping Dread stuff, way to easy.
The Angel one have the 76km Stage to approach, 3-4 Types of dammage, 3x Seraphim Groups with Mjolnirs and a full stage more to shoot at. ... ohh did i metioned, we doing the Bonus stage for a bloody Angel Domination Tag nobody needs for anythink...
hmm... atleast that was the status bv Cold War.

I've not noticed, since patch, for the rats to be in more than one cluster.

Stop your whining. I did Angel Extravaganza bv patch, never got any Domination item. Also i did Gurista Extravaganza, and there were some Dread items (if u had luck) in the bonus stage, but after a short period these were removed completely. In around 30 Gurista Extravaganza Missions i did i got 3 (in words: three) Dread items, 2 40% passive kinetic shield hardener and a cloaking device.

The dread items haven't been removed, but have been reduced in frequency.
Yeah, Angel Extravaganza is harder, but Angels are tougher rats anyway. It's not really an issue with the mission, more one to do with rats: Guristas are probably the easiest and Angels hardest. Course, it depends on your ship and tanking method...

AFAIK they're railguns - standard kinetic/thermal

What I've always been using in lvl4's is
Primary Char: Raven 6x arbalest sieges 3x kin 3x thermal hardeners 5x dmg mods
Secondary support char: Tempest 6x 720mm's 2x large shield transporters 5x t2 Cap rechargers 6x cap power relays
Though it's long since I logged in and havent played since the patch. I cant remember if I used 1x CPU in low on the tempest.
With that setup I managed to make hundreds of millions a day :)
