Easy mission, but it takes a long time. However, this is a great mission to farm. Hell is around every turn. It's your choice to go in it or not. Please check out the Rookies in EVE video playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLioOFeHwQV5yNk2vpz8wX9hihLVQEIKLt |

It takes a long time if you do what you're doing yes....for anyone else who's competent it's doable in a bounty tick.
I skipped to the end and it almost took you TWO HOURS to do this mission.
That's......... I don't even.
Just to clarify on what I said: you can clear the mission in one bounty tick and come back in a noctis and loot/salvage in 15 minutes |

I like the improvement in commenting and explaining about how and why you do it your way, compared to your older videos. I think in this format it will be a lot more helpful to newer players, that might be interested in the topic.
As for mission speed, yes it is not max speed but since you hardly make the vids for people playing L4 since years, I don't think it is a big issue. It might even be a bit more realistic to watch something like that doing L4 instead of a pimped out max dps setups.

But he's saying "It takes a long time"
when it's not true. It's giving people the wrong idea, like most of his videos. |

Well it takes him a long time and it will certainly take a long time for people starting with L4 missions that are interested in the videos and the topic. Since the topic is not, "How to run L4 Vengeance the quickest way possible." I don't really see a issue. I would even like to add that this might be a lot more interesting for newer players, getting a bit explained why he fits his ship that way, why and how he uses drones and how the mission will look like when they do it instead of watching a Mach F1ing everything into the ground.

It's titled "TRH EVE Online Let's Play, l4, Vengeance, Angel Cartel", which firstly is pseudo-advertising his poor excuse for a company which is debatable whether or not it's allowed and secondly it would be more accurate to call it "how NOT to run l4 vengeance".
He uses t1 hobgoblins to attack angel battleships at close range for gods sake and the fit, O M G the fit. A new player is going to look at it and won't know any better but seriously this is such a fail. |

I don't have issues with a little bit of advertising, it is not aggressive or disturbing in any way, and making this videos takes a bit of time, so fair enough.
I for myself did little commenting or explaining about the fitting in the L4 videos I made(mostly because I just made them as prove of concept for people calling me a eft warrior). I think there is a solid demand for material like this and even if it is not perfect, the intend behind it might be not showing how it is done in the best way but how it is done with a ship a lot of new players fly for L4 and there are quite a few videos out there where people try to show off time runs for a few missions. I for myself would not mind if you would start your own video series and I think it would be a lot more productive than nitpicking the videos of the OP.
Edit: Before I forget, "Lets Play" is mostly watching another person playing something, what is entertaining by good commenting, being funny and just seeing how other people do it. It is not in particular stuff like Krib or other hardcore gamers do, but a more casual take on the topic.

If he didn't want people to nitpick his videos, he picked the wrong place to post them. His mic still sucks, can barely understand what he's saying most of the time. If it's supposed to be rookie help, then what he says should be accurate, and his ship fits should be rookie appropriate, and preferably not bad.
He's been told all of this in the COUNTLESS other threads he's posted trying to semi-advertise his company through the eve forums, and has yet to make any improvements. That leads me to believe it is all about advertising, and little or nothing to do with actually helping anyone.
With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Well it is exactly like you sound when you record voice with a normal headset or cheaper microphone, I can understand him and a lot of "lets play" stuff only sounds so crystal clear because the people what make them have a separate recording room for the voice acting and add this after the video or fairly expensive audio equipment, like professional desk mounted microphones.
I see more advertising on the eve launcher than in his videos so I don't see the big deal. It is not like you get commercial breaks in it or something ridiculous like that. If he tries to get some more views and subs on this channel I have no problem with it, because this videos record, edit and upload herself not without any effort. It takes me around 3-6h per hour of footage when I do something like that and he enjoys doing them and uploads them for free.
Comparing this video with some of his older ones I can see a fair bit in improvement in the commenting, adding some background music and explaining what he does, so you can hardly say he didn't change anything.

It's nice of you to leave out that I said I was using them to keep their damage up while I moved closer to the gate. Also, it's nice that you paid so much attention to that. But, you must of forgot I said why I have them. Which is to take out the smaller ships when they get too close to me. Because my sentry drones can't hit them when they are orbiting me at 2k.
If you are going to try to bend the truth. At least do a better job at it. Hell is around every turn. It's your choice to go in it or not. Please check out the Rookies in EVE video playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLioOFeHwQV5yNk2vpz8wX9hihLVQEIKLt |

it's not the fact that you're using light drones it's the methodology behind it
why are you using TECH ONE hobgoblins when you clearly have access to t2 warriors which are MUCH better in this scenario?
My gardes have no trouble tracking battleships orbiting at 2km, you've either got skill issues or you never tried. |

And one more thing: what's stopping you from using heavies instead? 2km is an easy distance to recall them should they get aggro.
You're so busy trying to pick my post/videos apart, you miss parts that is important. That or you're getting worst at bending the truth.
I said the following.
Craig Bennett2th wrote:But, you must of forgot I said why I have them. Which is to take out the smaller ships when they get too close to me. Because my sentry drones can't hit them when they are orbiting me at 2k.
A BS isn't a smaller ship. Also, I never seen a BS orbit 2k away.
Sentries have a hard time hitting anything like a frigate that is in a pretty close range. I've notice the sentries have to turn to hit their target. Like it takes 3 rounds before they hit something sometimes. So I think it has to deal with the speed of the smaller ships orbiting me or the drones.
The problem with t2 drones, is cruisers tend to target t2 scouts and combat drones. But, the other problem is the sentry drones tend to take them out faster. So all I need is T1 drones to take out frigates. But, I will use it to keep up the damage while I move a short distance. Hell is around every turn. It's your choice to go in it or not.

Go to 7:13 on your own video, learn to read.
I will say this though: you finally took some advice and first recorded the footage and then commentated over it. You didn't deviate as much as you did in your previous videos and it was overall better than most of them.
There may be hope for you yet.

Sounds like you know what you are talking about, have you uploaded a video on youtube ? because I would love to see how you do your sites. And if you can explain your ship setup and tatics it would be rather neat too.
My mission runner is doing level 4's in a Nighthawk, it isn't extremely fast way to do it, you see I am speedtanking my sites, but it can run everything capstable, and I enjoy the missiles. But I always look forward to new exteriences, and see if I can pick up some new methods.
PS. I dont like the flying turd, per principle, but it is a nice video never the less.

Harassment? She is trying to help you but you take offence to everything she says. She is one of the most helpful around if you are not so thin skinned anyway.

My question:
Why do you not use heavy drones (berserkers) on the battleships while moving (as per 7:13 on your video)?
Your answer:
Blah blah blah frigates, blah blah blah cruisers target t2 scouts
Utterly irrelevant to my question.
Report me all you want, I don't think I'm breaking any forum guidelines in any of my posts. |

There is still no need to be such a rude dude.. compared to the last videos, he improved by a lot. The last videos were just like blabla, warp into missions - fast forward till mission is done. This time, he had commentary (although it can be hard to understand him properly) which was helpful.
It's not like there was no improvement.
Anyway, I have atleast one helpful link for you craig - check this article http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview_Guide - it might help you to improve your overview.
Yes, he should use a proper damage fit for his own sake (seriously, there is a lot of potencial if you reduce the tank on your domi), but the video is actually decent, as it gives players an idea of what to expect. Thus, this video wasn't as bad as some guyz here claim it to be. |

I've basically explain in text and a video on why I was Using t1 drones. Anyways, I wouldn't say it is harassment when someone is only helping. I will say it's harassment when someone refuses to watch and listen to the parts that they are crying about. Then Picks parts out of a post to cry. Even more so when they have to attached lies to their parts (which is stupid since everyone can read or watch what I said) .
As far as my ship and fit. My ship can withstand several (9) bs hitting it at the same time. It's also omi tanked. So I can jump in almost any mission (giving there is no EM). Anyways, anyone that used a domi can tell you it's a very slow ship.
I found gunning ships tend to be faster, but there is a trade off. Gun ships cost more at the end of the day,while drones are a 1 time cost. You have to be there with a gunship, while you can afk a mission with a drone boat. I actually afk a few parts of this mission.

Well you clearly haven't explained it very well as I still don't understand why you would use T1 hobs over berserker IIs (or Is if you havent had them trained).
Also what lies? Everything I've been talking about appears in your video.
Your ship can withstand 9 battleships hitting it, great! Many competent PVEers will tell you this: your tank is your gank. This means the faster you can kill things on field the less tank you need because once you kill those threats your tank isn't as pressured. This is beneficial two-fold:
1. You complete missions faster 2. Your tank will hold
Omni tanking your ship is only really useful when you're chain running missions without returning to a station and the missions you've got are against different rats.
People commenting on your overview are probably talking about the fact you are using a default EVE profile and have LCS, wrecks and god knows what else on it.
It may be more efficient to have a missioning profile with only rats and then a separate loot profile for wrecks and containers. |

I still think that can be done in a fairly polite way, instead of bashing people to for no particular reason.
As a matter of fact I consider most of the stuff Tsukino posted about some hulls highly subjective and mostly as a opinion of somebody that just looked stuff up in eft. It is less practical ingame(you want a mwd on the Vargur, you don't want a cap booster on a amarr hull, since it is quite limiting at longer missions or chained missions).
Also nobody can hit stuff at 2km with garde II drones(I stack tipple 90% webs to get the job done reasonable good as sentry drone bunny in Incs, since damage application really matter once you are in control of 24 sentry drones...). Angel BS orbit at 5-7km and you need multiple webs or a 90% web to archive reasonable damage against them with sentry's(I did run angel missions for years in a Kronos).

Next time you do an angel mission with a dominix, the drone load out is.
Bouncers Berserkers Warriors.
T2s if you can use them.
If in the future you find yourself surrounded by angel battleships and can't hit them because even if you have no idea what omni directional tracking links are for, then at least -have- the berserkers in your drone bay. A dominix with 3 faction omnis can currently bouncer II angel battleships orbiting (the domi is *that* good when used properly), but you'll have to stop double repping for that.
The side benefit of the berserkers, particularly for the 5 gate angel extravaganza mission is that you once the last spawn is up, and the remnants have got close to your bouncers, you can deploy berserkers and move to the gate at the same time (ie run and gun). Angels are actually pretty good for letting you avoid downtime in the mission because of how close they come, and berserkers are actually pretty damn fast, so if you have battleships surrounding you, they'll go from target to target without much travel loss.
In practice you do everything wrong in your videos and it makes them very tiresome, long and lacking insight that would actually be helpful compared to just reading eve-survival.

So my ship blow up or I quit in the middle of the mission?
BTW, you have no idea what you are talking about what T2 drones will do to my fit. There is 2 problems with t2 drones.
1. t2 drones takes more space. So I can fit way less of them on my ship.
2. t2 drones cost more.
Something that isn't obvious but wasn't explain before, and I didn't think it needed to be pointed out. I didn't point it out because I didn't use my t1 drones in many ways I can.
1. bait. If at any reason I feel my ship has a risk of getting blown up, I can release my t1 drones and use a MJD or warp. (or MJD then warp since there is no turning in a MJD) Also, I can use them as bait in missions like the blockade. I can use some t1 drones to bring everyone where I want them, then I can pull out my sentry. It makes most missions stupid easy.
2. T1 drones cost less. T1 hob cost about 5k, so really 1 bad guy gives me that back many times over. This is to include small ships.
3. I can fit more t1 drones in my ship than t2. This means I can use more as bait, or as a throw away drones. Basically drones that are going to die, but doing what I need them to do.
4. To hold some damage on something. Kinda like what I was doing with the BS when I was moving to the gate. Like I had 2 things I could've done there. Sit there and take them out with my sentry drones. Or get closer to the gate then use my sentry drones.
Something that is obvious. T1 drones are great for taking down small ships. That's the biggest reason why I have them, so why should I fix that if it's not broke.
As far as the BS and angel extravaganza. My sentries are great in that missions. In fact, I use to do exactly what you said a year back. And it takes a lot longer.
_______________________________________________________________
I am only saying this so people start thinking about what they are going to say. People have seen my ship, and cry about the 2 guns I have. Saying I shouldn't mix guns, I don't know what I am doing with them, and so on. I don't know why people don't look at the obvious and say that may not be for killing. Anyone who thinks I was using T1 hobs to take out the BS are complete morons. T1 hobs will never take out a BS. In fact, it's questionable at times if it's going to take out a cruisers on L4.

(or MJD then warp since there is no turning in a MJD) Also, I can use them as bait in missions like the blockade. I can use some t1 drones to bring everyone where I want them, then I can pull out my sentry. It makes most missions stupid easy. 2. T1 drones cost less. T1 hob cost about 5k, so really 1 bad guy gives me that back many times over. This is to include small ships. 3. I can fit more t1 drones in my ship than t2. This means I can use more as bait, or as a throw away drones. Basically drones that are going to die, but doing what I need them to do. 4. To hold some damage on something. Kinda like what I was doing with the BS when I was moving to the gate. Like I had 2 things I could've done there. Sit there and take them out with my sentry drones. Or get closer to the gate then use my sentry drones. Something that is obvious. T1 drones are great for taking down small ships. That's the biggest reason why I have them, so why should I fix that if it's not broke. As far as the BS and angel extravaganza. My sentries are great in that missions. In fact, I use to do exactly what you said a year back. And it takes a lot longer. _______________________________________________________________ I am only saying this so people start thinking about what they are going to say. People have seen my ship, and cry about the 2 guns I have. Saying I shouldn't mix guns, I don't know what I am doing with them, and so on. I don't know why people don't look at the obvious and say that may not be for killing. Anyone who thinks I was using T1 hobs to take out the BS are complete morons. T1 hobs will never take out a BS. In fact, it's questionable at times if it's going to take out a cruisers on L4. Seriously, where is the common sense.
The thing is, common sense says "Gank over Tank". Not only because it works pretty damn well, it also increases your isk per hour.
Noone cares about the fact that you can tank 9 BS's for hours, because most people will kill those 9 BS's in less than 5 minutes.
Take my CNR as an example = it tanks 380 dps sustained, which is barely enough for 3 BS and some cruisers - I can't tank them for hours, but there's no need for it anyway. They are all dead in less than 2 minutes. Simply because I shoot them fast :)
The thing is, you are a special snowflake as a mission runner. You want to have it as save as possible - while most other peeps want to kill them fast. This creates the conflict :)
Not saying it's a bad thing, but

No they don't.
T2 drones are exactly the same size as their T1 counterparts. 5m3 for lights, 10m3 for mediums, 25m3 for heavies and sentries. You can fit exactly the same T2 drones into your drone bay as T1s, you can launch exactly the same T2 drones as T1s.
Yes, they're more expensive. T2 light drones are around 400k each, hardly bank-breaking for someone doing L4 missions.
Are you thinking of T2 mining crystals which are indeed larger than the T1 variants?

One thing I think everyone agrees on is you should learn to fit your ships better before you give advice.
I still think that can be done in a fairly polite way, instead of bashing people to for no particular reason. As a matter of fact I consider most of the stuff Tsukino posted about some hulls highly subjective and mostly as a opinion of somebody that just looked stuff up in eft. It is less practical ingame(you want a mwd on the Vargur, you don't want a cap booster on a amarr hull, since it is quite limiting at longer missions or chained missions). Also nobody can hit stuff at 2km with garde II drones(I stack tipple 90% webs to get the job done reasonable good as sentry drone bunny in Incs, since damage application really matter once you are in control of 24 sentry drones...). Angel BS orbit at 5-7km and you need multiple webs or a 90% web to archive reasonable damage against them with sentry's(I did run angel missions for years in a Kronos).
So what i post is subjective and opinions based off EFT, so when you comment about sentrys' ability to hit things at close range you're speaking from experience then? I would like to see how you fit your domi because mine has ABSOLUTELY no trouble hitting a battleship orbiting at 5-7k with no webs, painter, nothing.
pot calling kettle black. good job.
Craig once again proving his flawed knowledge (do you ever even check things before you talk about them?)
Aside from that: yes t2 drones are more expensive but they are MUCH more durable than t1. Following the gank=tank line of thought since they do more damage as well they take less damage because they clean things up faster, that combined with the fact that they are faster and more sturdy means that you will rarely lose a tech 2 light scout unless you aren't paying attention.
Furthermore your point 4:
"To hold some damage on something. Kinda like what I was doing with the BS when I was moving to the gate. Like I had 2 things I could've done there. Sit there and take them out with my sentry drones. Or get closer to the gate then use my sentry drones."
What's stopping you from using heavy drones?
"T1 drones are great for taking down small ships"
Yes they're great, guess what t2 drones are even better!
"Anyone who thinks I was using T1 hobs to take out the BS are complete morons."
Go to 7:40 on your own video. Are you, or are you not, using T1 hobs to "holding off the battleship from losing whatever damage as best as I could" (doesn't even make grammatical sense but whatever)?
Why not use heavy drones? Also T2 warriors are quite capable of eventually killing a battleship if you have the proper drone skills and a decent fitting (1 DDA on a domi, really?)
And I still don't understand your choice of guns, you never use them in any video you make with your domi. |

No guns I can understand due to skills but that poor Domi needs more than one DDA. It has two LAR's and a MJD?? From my understanding a MJD is to get range to reduce DPS so why the two LAR's? It needs at least two and preferably three DDA's and two tracking links. |

That is largely the point yes. If he was missioning in a ship with less tank, he'd understand and point out the important parts of the missions when he got around to doing a vid, and the only important thing is how to manage the aggro and tracking to npc's in that particular mission so as to allow yourself to use a single rep, high damage fit.
One of the great things about the dominix is how well it performs now with all level "4" skills. You can run 3 DDAs, you can avoid a T2 tank with faction resists and a faction rep, and the worst of the problems with navy gardes vs garde Iis is now wallpapered over by the tremendous hull bonus.
Its particularly irritating to watch a dominix do less dps than a single rep myrmidon that could in fact just stand at the beacon and orbit a drone and sig/orbit tank enough fire to not actually die anyway... |

can you stop following everything I post attempting to make a counter to it?
Of course my domi is much faster, I have 4 DDAs on it, use my guns and don't use T1 hobs to "keep up damage" while I move.
Also you just discredited anything you say about missions with that comment, blitz with a tengu, honestly. |

When you're salvaging and looting with your mission ship you're not doing it for max isk/h.
Why would I ever bother salvaging level 2s and 3s with drones(!) when I have max skilled Noctis pilot, who also has maxed leadership skills, in same fleet? |

I'm not going to comment on isk/hour because I never said that was the purpose of the video, you're the one who brought it up. However as a video "guide" it's not telling someone how to run this efficiently. |

So, guide how to run level 4 mission in Dramiel is worse than his video because Dramiel guide has less plays?
Also, EVE videos in general don't get high play counts in Youtube. |

Ok I havent read this thread but I can imagine that it gets some aggro.
1) The fit.
U are flying a Domi but u dont use the EPIC range and tracking it gets to drones. The tank consist of no less than 9 modules not including rigs. Thats probably the most overkill tank Ive ever seen. U should be able to have enough tank and stil be able to put out 800 Drone DPS + 3 Omnis in mids. Your Garde damage is 550 DPS and Warden damage lands on 420 DPS (all 5s in relevant skills). I get more in a well skilled Drake.
2) Bad Drone setup
Wardens for Angels? U only need Gardes or maybe Bouncers against Angels. My setup would be like this for this mission:
Bouncer II, Berserker II, Warrior II.
For any other mission Id go:
Garde II, possibly rat specefic sentry II, Hobgoblin II
Also, why T1 drones? U should be able to manage your light drones so that u dont lose them. Losing drones should never be an issue. |

For example I like to slowboat around without prop mod, use unstable laser ships without cap booster against Blood Raiders. Yes, I know that I do level 4s the wrong way because I don't use sentries but I just don't care.

Profit isn't the only reason to do missions. Some of us actually do higher level missions in frigates for fun. You can't put price for fun. It also teaches you, as a player, some of the most important skills that can't be acquired through skillpoints or flying heavily tanked battleships.
It also can be nerve-wracking: barely tanking level 3 mission with faction fit Hawk. Shields @ 10-12% and damage slowly bleeds to armor but still a lot of ships to be destroyed. |

They didn't nerf heavy missiles. They rebalanced them. They also buffed all other missiles systems. Are you sure you don't like the fact that they removed those stupid ship penalties from T2 missiles? |
