first stage, 1 supreme parasite, 2 groups of smaller drones
first group usually agros on warp in, buts its only 5 or 6 smnallish guys.
second group with supreme will ignore you.
second stage:- 3 groups, 1 group with 2 supreme drones and around 7 or 8 smaller fellas, 2 more groups of 1 supreme and escorts each, all with 30k ish of warp in, which btw, you warp into a huge structure which obscures about 85% of your view and the usual way i exit is straight down.
i haven't had insta agro from any group on second stage yet, but it does happen
also note, attacking any one group usually has at least 1 of the others agro aswell, sometimes both.
not too difficult a mision actually, and drops nice loot :), just takes a while in the raven

Ok...
This is one of the new ones.. eg the npc have the bumper AI.
So.. if your grouping or using support ships, expect any non agressed spawns to attack your support/damage dealing ships.
First.. do the spawns agro you.. sometimes.. sometimes not.. had multiple expereince of both.. the first level isn't so hard.. 2 spawns.. nail the supreme.. and it's easy from there in....
Second can be a little tricky.. probaly made more so by the dam drone structure (gets in the way you see)
Some of the time, your not going to have a celestial to line up and warp to on entry. Also you can warp into it.. so you heading fast to nowhere at 700-800 m/s, turning hard trying to line up with a close range marauder hanging by at 20 clicks isn't great if you want to leave anytime soon....
Key to it is 1) hope the first spawn doesn't agress you.. it does/doesn't.. if so and your solo.. your going to be picking one/two at a time and leaving and heading back.... a couple/few times.... don't worry about the others.. they won't unless you fire on them.
It's all about distance.. the drones might be clever.. but you can trail these guys no problem as most of the time they get caught in the structure themselfs
Your doubling up with support/dmg.. same deal.. head your tank far...... out.. agro 'all' the spawns on your tank (don't worry the supremes won't be anywhere near in range) and nail away.. the spawns shouldn't swap, they only pick up on your support if there non agro....
Last advice... remember where the supremes droped.. there normaly in the end of the chain of cans.. there's an awful lot of piddley cans of low end drone aloys you realy don't want in this mission, but nice supreme drops.. your wasting time realy collecting them all (unless you want to i guess)
Gl with it.

Got this mission last night first stage is relatively easy but the secound with 4 Supreme Drones and a huge structure you got snagged on is a little scary.. First time in i got a bit to close to one of the groups before getting range for my 1400's and had to warp out. 2nd Time manouvered so the NPC got stuck on the structure and took them all out from 90km without any trouble.
Well except for 6 Sunder drones that for some reason were impossible to hit from 90km. Once i blew the structue and they came towards me they were toast.
Wouldnt like to be there if all the 3 Spawns engage you on jump in.
They who shout the loudest normally have the least to say. |
