ok... now i know theres been a lot of talk about how difficult this is.... and i think its bloody hard... for my liking but im trying to do it...all im after is some serious advice on "how" to do it solo... i dont have the luxury of having many corp mates or friends to help aid in my missions (all the time)... and i know ppl say they havne't had any trouble, which is BS when your using tech 2 ****...yea your most likely going to have a much easier time of it on high skills..... but enough of my complaining and stuff i need to deal and im trying...
like i said, i need some flat advice on how to do it... im using a scorp right now...and i've tried 7 hardners of all kinds and i still get ganked...i noticed using Therm is a must for missile damage... if u use anything else you dont get good damage... a raven would perhaps be better, as a scorp i know its not the best for missions but its the best ship i can fly right now... and i dont have tech 2 skills yet...
any setup suggestions would be awsome.... any advice would be brilliant...right now i found that using some large shield extenders are sometimes better then using shield harders, with 2 shield booster amps and a xlarge shield boost.. but i still cant take much... current setup with not the best skills is :
highs:
2 heavy nos
4 cruise launchers or 1 siege and 3 cruise
Meds:
1 xlarge shield boost.
2 shield boost amps
5 large shield extenders (gives me 14000hp)
Lows:
1 wcs
1 cap charger
2 pdu's
any any help would be so apreciated.. specially from the vet players... you guys know a lot... :) and thanks for any replies

lol, well the part 3 is more like 56 frigs... and yea.. that was the only way i found i could do it... i warp in.. and had a bookmark soon as im there...i end up adding about 3 bookmarks or so as they fly towards you... so with multiple warp outs and few bookmarks... i techincly can solo it that way.. but there HAS to be a better way then that... thats just crazy... i would understand if it were lvl4 lol.. but not 3... thank you for your advice.. it was great...i have to believe its doable solo with more ease then this... we just haven't found it yet...and im guessing its going to take ppl awhile to figure it out...
Thukker Mercs :
from what i saw... i think u need to use EM/Explosive/Kinetic Hardners and use Thermal missiles

yep that they are... i found on that particular mission that they use all types of damage... as with a scorp, i have the luxury of being able to use 8 med slots so i can experiment, and pretty much nothing really worked for hardners.... and thats most likely because when 1 locks onto you.. they ALL do like you said.. you really do have to kill as many as you can...
i was reading somewhere that drones set off rats in a frenzy aswell... so keep that in mind too when doing that mission, if i rememer correctly.. when i first warped into the 3rd part, not every single rat was on my ass till i brought my drones out for the frigs.. it was only about half.. the ones protecting that first gate didn't lock... but that might hav just been a delay...
im still working on the mission... but i'll post if i get better intel...
and anyone else can add something... pls? lol

thanks... that helps a lot... so basicly, there is absolutely no way of doing this mission without some kind of tech 2 equipment then? is that right?
i'll try and give the hardners another go then... i was using 7 before and i still got my ass kicked...

lol true... my cap was never really a problem.. the shield hardners supprisingly didn't take up too much cap.. its the boosting that does... was jus taking too many hits at once, as fast as i was boosting, the shields werne't getting repaired... but you gave me something new to try.. the big cap and big cap battery... so i'll definately give that ago.. i dont have the skills for either shield hardner tech 2s or shield booster tech 2s.. i'll have to train in those...money is becoming a problem too haha.... im jus screwed either way :)
your information has given me some idea's tho.. and thank you for your help.. i apreciate it

whoa dude... you might be onto something there... tell you what.. next time i get that mission again.. i'll try your theory out.. i dont think all the frigs orbit within 4-5k tho... i think some are more or less 7 and sometimes 12k...
see smartbombs only have a range of 5k i believe...
but hell, its jus something else to try that i for one haven't done.. didn't even think about trying it...
great one
