Today I embarked on this infamous mission. Oh what fun we had. I had read many horror stories about this, the last installment of a 10 part storyline mission.
I knew before I started the correct way to complete this mission but I just had to push the envelope. So with the intention of taking on every ship in this mission I began recruiting pilots to assist me.
After two hours of fighting and the loss of a few ships, including my own Prophecy Battlecruiser we managed to massacre every last Dark Corpum ship.
I would like to thank those brave pod pilots that came to my aid and helped me to fulfill my goal of total annihilation.
- Aruwarg - Vexor (destroyed)
Special thanks to EgoManiac and Wolfgang Yip for their refusal to fall and of course to Lt. Silver for his eagerness to take command of the battlegroup and lead us to victory!

And my thank to you for letting us take part. It just proves that u don't need a collection of battleships to kill 10 NPC bs, and also well done to all those who took part. And for following orders to the Tee which enabled our victory, again well done to all --------------------------------------------

I soloed it in a vexor. warp in, kill the crap cruisers that aggro, align to station, put drones on the objective so they take all the aggro, kill it, warp out.

Pretty easy to do with nice new missile skills ^^ you can hit with cruise from 100km....just keep them at 100km and spam them with cruise 'till they die....then laugh very loudly. (P.S no need to get so upset and flame everyone)

I suppose with the nerfing of Missles the mission we did can't be done alone anymore. Unless we can master the new missle skills and go for it again, maybe then it can be done solo.

How do you get the storyline missions? I've been doing missions for ages, got my navy raven (and probably enough LP to have got another) yet I've only ever had the important mission referrals. Does it require specific standings or something?

I have had the Angel Strike series before, I think it might have something to do with the amount of missons you do for a corp. I have been doing (lots and lots) of missions for research corps to get my standings up.
I got the Angel Strike series when working for Viziam (my standing was then 4.9) and the storyline agent was Hansa Anuf (sp?) - Court Chamberlain .
I have recently received the Guristas Strike in similar circumstances (only this time working for Duvolle). My standings were also about 5 at the time i got it (the storyline agent this time is Zalloronde Algogille (Fed Navy).
The theory I am working on is that it is either lots of missions (sufficient to acheive standing 5 from basically no standings) or something about getting around standing 5 for a new corp. I never had this mission series before cold war though, so think it must have come in then. |

yah that could be true, not sure on the standings tho, yeh it was damn hard the kast stage, we had to warp 4 times, so if 3 bs, 4 cruiser and 2 frigs had to keep warping out im sure a hell that stupid cruiser on it's own could not achive this mission
i recomend this mission to anyone seeking a good hard fun mission, it takes time but the feeling once u complete it is well worth it --------------------------------------------

You could do this mission in a cruiser though. I did it in an assault frigate. As the OP already stated you dont actually have to kill the fleet of ships. All that is required is to kill the 3 cruisers guarding the tower (the fleet does not aggro until you attack the tower itself - you scoop the loot and warp out).
You guys were obviously out for the "full-on" kill experience and hence took on the lot, good job, but this mission is doable in a cruiser, if done as above. |

To get an important mission you need to complete 16 mission FOR THE SAME AGENT. In addition for each mission you fail or reject, you will need to complete an extra mission. Thus if you cherry pick missions, from a selection of agents you may not see them for some time. The particular important mission you get, is as per normal random

Of all the missions that I've performed I must say this was the most interesting and fun. It was like really being in a "Storyline" mission. I did the Level 3 version of this (not sure if there is a Level 4), and the 10/10 was a heartpounder. I did this in my Assault frig, and just did make it out after popping the tower. Needless to say I didn't hang around to take on the Bship groups :). Can't wait for the next one.

Calm down. I have Missile Bombardment @ lvl 4 and Caldary BS @ lvl 5 and my cruise missles range is more than 200km. Apparently BS with the 90 km range will not hit me at 200km but I will hit him.
Shall I draw a picture or something ?
PS I suggest you to appologise to the guy you insulted for nothing.

gotta agree here,with new missile skills u can max range with cruise missiles up to 250km...but i think even 200km is enough.if u can keep the distance theres no way they can lock/hit you!

Edited by: BunnyWabit on 31/07/2005 11:40:32 I did this one in my Ferox, after destroying the cruisers I was recovering my shields I went to deactivate the booster and recover some cap when I accidently hit one of my launchers icons since I was locked on to the control tower a missile launched.
Both groups of Bs's aggro'ed so I launched and fired every weapon I had, when my shields reached about 50% I warped just as the first torps hit.
When I got back the tower was gone and I moved in and picked up the container, the Bs's ignored me.
One thing I noticed as I moved in were some webbers where within 23k of the tower.

I did the 3/10 version of this recently in my Vagabond. like others have said, I've heard the horror stories, and decided (once the initial 3 cruisers were dead) to go in all guns blazing on the structure.
I ignored all the ships, including the ones guarding the structure, and started pounding at 30k while approaching at 1k/s. By the time the structure was destroyed, I was right on top of the spawned can, picked it up (after getting bounced round on other bits of scenery), and high tailed it outta there... total loss....about 1/10th of my shield
got 5% proj and +3 mem implants out of it, and had a blast.
also, like someone else said, I got this mission at around 5.0 standings with an agent I'd not used much before, there might be a pattern to the spawn on this one.

Agreed it is possible. Even if you can't do something easily or at all it doesnt mean that no-one else can either. That's an arrogant attitude.

My group did the sequence over the weekend, using cruisers and BCs (no more than 4 of us on at any given time, but several folks contributed along the way). Very nice sequence, good fun. We settled for just completing the mission at the end, felt no need to kill the BS:). I got the mission from Hansa at Court Chamberlain as well, so if it's not completely random that might be a clue. My modified standing is now well over 8 with Chamberlain corp, and my connections are only 2. We usually assigned the BC to tank if one was present. I and another were flying Omens without anything special in the way of gear, so with teamwork a coordinated group can do normal success. The collection of ships at the end of 10/10 sitting there waiting to fire is pretty impressive, I had my Omen set up with much nano to get in and out fast:).
FWIW, I've been playing a month in a half, this was my biggest mission project yet:).
I must say I am very impressed that you guys managed to do the total annihilation path. Good job!

Originally by: Lt Silver first i will not apoligize for my attitude for one simple reason, i said killing the bs and not recieving ahit in the ships we had is impossible, so why dont u god damn ready what i said before giving me a pile of **** to make urself feel better
take a hike
ps, i dont care if u did it solo, we tooke verything on and thats what we where discussing, so perhaps if ud noticed u wouldnt have ur heads stuck up ur ass and understand wtf i was on about
Why is it impossible? If you can out distance their missile range, it's quite easy - probably borderline exploit, but it's perfectly possible.
I dont think outdistance someone is an exploit. It is just sniper tactic :P

No, I want to see more of Silver's responses. After all, he's obviously the best pilot in the game. If he can't do something in his Vigilant, then obviously no-one else can do it
(I'm in work and his funny responses really have made my day)

Definately a fun stage. I just helped a corp-mate finish this mission last night as well. We ended up bringing a Domi and a Mega (2 accounts played by the same friend, the one who had the mission), a taranis, and my wolf. Instead of shooting at the tower and aggroing all 3 groups of rats, we decided to pick each group off separately. Doing the Bship groups first, nothing else aggro'd, so it was quite easy, only 5 bships at a time instead of all 10. The Taranis and I mopped up the frigates and cruisers before they could reach the mega and domi, and then I ended up tanking a couple of the bs's due to my lightning fast ability to dodge almost all shots fired at me, while we picked off the bs one at a time. Same for both groups then the tower spawn of cruisers and frigs was easy to mop up while the taranis flew around and consolidated all the cans into a single jet can for easy pickup.

hey ive just got this mission and was wondering. Would it be worth me and my mate going in our bs`s to kill all the npc`s, do they drop anything good, or had i might as well just get the pos and leave ?

forum necromancy is bad, but anyway last time we ganked the mission, I didn't see anything good but I went linkdead before looting was done.. the time before I saw a named cap recharger(18ish %)
i've tanked it twice, once in a domi other in an ishtar, it's not hard, just bring enough firepower to break the tanks of the BS's
