Edited by: Kragg Malak on 05/08/2005 11:54:42 So i try my first level 4 mission in over 6 months (i did a few when they were first introduced with the exodus patch).
The mission is to kill a drone infestation or something, apparently smaller targets are easier to kill with heavy missiles (i use a raven) so i outfit my raven with heavy launchers and thermal missiles.
After about 4 volleys, i kill the first drone, by then my shield is already at 50%. By the time i kill the second drone (after another 3-4 volleys) my shield is at 20% and my cap is at around 15%.
What hurts them the most? and what damage type do they dish out?
My loadout was this:
Highs : 6 limos heavy launchers, 2 t2 neutron blasters Meds : 1 XL C5L shield booster, 2 hardeners (thermal+EM), webber, AB and shield booster Lows : 4 PDU + 1 ballistic
I had hammerheads, but i didnt bother launching them when i saw how fast my shields were going down.
Edit : Oh and i do have good skills, except for the new missile skills, those are all at level 1 (working on them)

since the missile nerf these missions are olmost impossible to do with a raven. just go train armar frigate lvl1 or somting or use rail guns on your raven.

assault launchers, webber, drones
heavies do crap damage to frigates, especially with the missile skills only at 1

first its very posible fit 2 thermal hardeners maybe a kin
painters are ur friends webs wont help they aint goin that fast anyway 1-2 painter and u should be set also look for the sig size, paint and kill the ones with the biggest sig radius first
4-5 pdu's and or a bcs alsso a xl tech2 sb is ur friend as it uses less cap than the c5 and with the new missile skills its quite easy to kill the supreme drone parasite

I used a Harpy for that type of complex and I think any AF will do it with ease. I also did the same comlex type lv3 in a punisher and my amarr skills are lv3 frig (just to get to use amarr indy) and small laser turrets 3.

Edited by: Andy vonB on 09/08/2005 18:59:58 Edited by: Andy vonB on 09/08/2005 18:59:20 I'd suggest Cruise missiles. I waltzed through 2 Infiltrated outposts back to back from the same agent the other day in a Raven with no troubles at all- 6* XRTC-whatever cruise launchers and 2 generic medium lasers in the highs XL C5-L booster with 2 basic amps, 2* target painters, Eutetic cap recharge in the mids 4* basic BCUs, WCS (always fit now after losing 2 Ravens post-patch to evil srcambling NPCs- fool me once shame on me, fool me twice I must be an idiot)
I can take a supreme drone parasite down in about half the time compared to pre-patch, and most drones were one-shotted or blasted to bits by the lasers and my own little army of drone minions!
Admittedly I haven't done many drone missions at lvl 4 since the patch, the only other one I was helping a friend and got whupped by an Elite Drone Parasite at the mission warp in point, but Cruise seem to do the job for me.\o/
EDIT:- Infiltrated? Infested? I forget the name. The ones with the bloody huge drone structures you have to blow...

not when they MWD to you, then you'll make 150 - 300 damage. when they are close, use your small lasers (superb tracking) plus your drones (i use a mix of heavy and medium drones, but have not experimented much, since it's good enough). if you whish to deal decent damage to frig size ships your heavy missiles or cruises aren't really better than torp's (they might do a better percentage of their damage, but the torps better maximum damage accomplishes that), then assault launchers with lights are better. against the supreme drone parasite the torps server you better anyway. it's just too much hassle to refit all the time.
