I have just got the Double Agent storyline mission and I was wondering what to expect. There are Republic Stabbers and Republic Detectives. Anyone done this mission can offer advice please?

Edited by: Majir Kry on 29/07/2005 10:47:49 What level Agents have you been doing to get the storyline.
My mate and I have both had it from doing level 2 agents, I can easily do it in my ferox, but my mate really struggled in his moa (and after several warp outs I went to help him)
I think you can expect several interceptors on the last couple of encounters.

I think that storyline difficulty depend more on story line agent corp standigs than from what level agent you gain storyline. I have 8.0 standing with my agents corp and 5.62 with story agent corp. And i did have that double agent with stabbers and detective on first spawn. It was nasty for me...but since you are doing lev 4 I cant tell you what you shoul expect. I had to do several warpouts offcourse.

This is my favorite mission in the whole pool
those stabbers LOOK THE F OUT. They are the fastest ships in there and faster than the inty tacklers
the stabbers are the tacklers.
Multiple waves.
eventually the secret agent spawns
I wanna say 5 respawns total
expect to be consumed and swarmed in the first spawn and each subsequent stage as they will swarm you in them uber fast ships.
the next spawn happens where last ship is destroyed.
It's not deadspace so you can set a ranged point and try at range.
My first I set at 90km and was swarmed by first group before i could dispatch it.
from 90km
about all you might be able to do to make it a bit more manageable for yourself
set a long range warp in, warp to it, kill all but one and warp away. then rewarp to primary engagement at 15km cuz that last ship will be at your ranged waypoint. pop him and expect to be swarmed again.
kill all but one. warp out, warp to ranged waypoint rinse repeat.
I stick it out and deal with it but usually have help
I have always finished this with armor damage in my raven pre patch
post patch could be very very scary in a raven.
And them stabbers are probably your biggest problem, they are the nastiest cruisers I've ever had to deal with and they swarm and hit hard at close close orbits.
and ofcoarse you got them stasis inties to deal with
not sure if they got scramblers too but may.

A question, connected to the mission. I got a lot of Gallente Navy tags from loot, and they are legal in Caldari space. Was it always the case? Because if i remember right, every empire navy tags were illegal in all other empires.

i believe that caldari and gallente aren't on the best terms. Thus that doesn't matter. IIRC no caldari in amarr and caldari, no amarr in caldari and amarr, no gallente in minmatar and gallente, no minmatar in gallente and minmatar. --- What I say has nothing to do with my corp.

Thanks X'Alor for your usual detailed response. I think I will just decline this mission cos the reward is not great and the risk too high to solo in my Apoc.

hehehe
but in a apoc solo, good call.
I've lost more apocs than recycled shuttles to lvl 4's solo. This would have eaten it most likely. Need atleast 2 large t2 rippers for sure.
I doubt it'd make it past 3rd spawn tho, I run into cap issues with 2 rippers.
Drones at good lvls helps alot.
I've had it 3 times now, gets easier for sure but first ones a doosy.
mmmmmm them stabbers. i want one.
First time I targeted the little ships like usually and that was a big mistake. Think there is only one other spawn with any stabbers and not 7 of them either.
targeting the stabbers first kinda helps cuz once they get in close orbit, man they start pounding hard. .... and if all seven get into orbit. oh boy.
Great mission tho ....... with backup help almost a must on this one.

Fleet stabbers most overpowered NPC imo.
I use a 8xmegabeam apoc and do the 100k warp in thing. Trying to be a hero and not warp out leaves you in a pod. -The mind is strong and the flesh is weak, but oh the flesh... |
