Okay a friend i did a sig for lost his geddon in this mission and I was at 12% structure in my Muninn (hac) so i tanked up my phoon and beat it solo.
Here was my set up:
1x Phoon
HIGH: 4x 650mm Medium Gallium I Cannon 1x Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I 3X 'Malkuth' Siege Missile Launcher I (if I had them handy I woulda swapped to 2 more havy launchers)
MID: 1x Cap Recharger II 3x Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array
LOW: 1x Large Armor Repairer II 2x N-Type Explosive Hardener I 1x N-Type Thermic Hardener I 1x N-Type Kinetic Hardener I 1x Reactive Plating II 1x Capacitor Power Relay I
Now by the time I got there all the waves were there so I had him make me a BM inside and warpped in a 100km that put them at 150km then i alligned to a SG w/ AP set and cut speed to 1/4 power. the crusers caught up first (weird) and I ate them for lunch. In the end all my hardners and Lg ar rep running I had lots of cap and never took damage. All republic scum were dead.
Now I should mention I have 14 mil SP but 5.6 mil is in learining. I have the adv passive AR skills to lvl 2 (exp being the important one here.) so my res were as follows:
EM 70 % | EXPL 78.3662727998 % | Kin 62.5 % | Therm 67.5 %
Hope this helps I know many folks are loosing BS to this mission.

Me and a corp mate managed this one with a fair amount of ease he was in a tanked Scorp and I was in a Inquis... I know scary right... we had to make a few runs at it but in the end all the baddies died... so it's all good 9 million SP and I still am not going to fly a Cruiser and you can't Make me! |

Erm... Tech Secrets... the "not really deadspace" series?
Um... set default warp distance to 100km. Warp in, drop BM, warp out. Warp back at 100km from that BM and repeat as they get too close.
The perfect sniper method.
Have done some missions like this without taking any damage in my Cerberus.
Or you could just try tank it...

Oh I tanked it my reason for the 100 Km was so he could get his BS can without having to worry about it.
But I see your point I forgot about the "pre-set" your warp in dist trick. Wish they would just give you the option.

The mission has been nerfed. The players that were complaining about this mission taking out their BSs were doing it before the mission nerf patch. The mission is really easy now. I completed it in 23 minutes in a SHIELD tanked Brutix. No warp outs. I have 1.2 million SPs not in learning. /shrug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Still working on  |

Edited by: Johnny Johnny on 25/01/2006 18:15:19 Done it several times in my Raven, pre nerf.
6 Assault Launcher II's xl booster, amp, 3 hardeners, cap recharge 4 pdu 2's, 1 bcu
Warp in, spam standard missiles. Kills frigs really easy. Takes a bit longer for curisers, but still pretty easy.
6 something ROF launchers, with my skills.
Never even close to breaking my tank. ------------- Johnny Johnny ------------- Some people are like a Slinky.....not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

You've got to be kidding, I could do this mission (version offered by Amarr Navy) standing on my head with one arm tied behind my back, warping in at 30KM. I doubt the Caldari version is any harder. Parts 1 and 3 are just like any blockade type mission except you have a dull wait between the waves which makes the mission tedious. I don't understand how people can say this mission is hard in a Battleship. 
1x Apocalypse
8x Mega Pulse II (using Multifrequency, UV or Radio depending on range) 3x Cap Charger II, 1x Tracking Comp II 2x CPR I, 2x Large Accom I (I didn't even need 1 on full time, just the odd manual activation every so often), 3x Hardner II
3x Wasp II

Anyone pulled this version off in an AF, for example a retribution?

an even better tip I have is to do the above, get your BMs ....BUT wait til after downtime to try the mission again because the waves will be waves, not all there ready to gank ya

i cant believe that people are having an issue with this mission... i have done a little bit of mission running for my main 2 level 3 agents recently and i got this, didnt recognise it, researched it, and all these people complaining how hard it is...
so i decided to setup my retribution for a tank including a WCS since it was the first time i'd be doing this mission i wanted to know what i would be facing..
needless to say it was a breeze... the first spawn.. cake.., the second spawn.. cake.. made harder only by the fact i was fighting defensively rather than aggressively, i waited a bit for the third spawn but i gave up in the end since you only need to take out the second spawn for mission complete,
guys, bigger isnt always better, and some may be having difficulties due to the fact they are unskilled and in a bs which gets hit very hard, try an assault frigate..

Mission has been nerfed.
Instead of 30-40 frigates there are like 5-7 and they come in waves like the first part. ******************** Join Public Channel "Christian Public Access" for great fellowship and fun |

It would help if YOU looked at the date of the OP, the guy is clearly speaking about running the mission so recently that it was the nerfed version and he *still* found it hard.
Read. Think. Think some more. Post.

Have to agree with everyone else, since the nerf this mission is real easy, I do it just using heavy missiles and drones

did this with m8's (caracal jag - me tanking in ferox) - seemed easy enough to do solo in my ferox with out much concern, dont warp out - take each spawn as they come that way your not tanking multipul cruiser's at once.

Solo'd several times in a Harpy pre-nerf.
Too bad so many noobs lost their precious battleships on this mission and had it changed. I actually enjoyed getting the mission when it was hard.

Ok, what are people facing in this level? I'm hearing some people say all it is, is a few frigates, no cruisers, yet others are sayign it drops in swarms of frigates and large numbers of cruisers.
What is it people? ____________________ I'm not an idiot; I just play one on the forums. |

I did this mission 2 days ago. I heard many terrible things bout 3rd part, so i tanked my raven very hard. But mission was very, very easy. I didnt move, just sit there and kill em all, shield never droped less than 95%. It's a peace of cake, no problems at all.
The hardest 3 lvl mission atm I think is Portal to War, but it also very easy can be done on BS with proper tanking. On BC u may struggle a bit there.

Soloed in Harpy post nerf. Standard T2 sniper setup. Used t2 ammo just to get it done faster.

I think the biggest difference I see with these posts is that the ppl loosing BS's are waiting for ALL waves, I did the same thing accidentally (accepted, then though - Ohh, I'll need drones; 6 jumps later I'm late to the party and two Stabbers are ripping through my Proph)
I came back in - all waves, with my caracal and ripped them before they got in range.
There is a BIG difference to taking this mission in waves, and all at once. I don't know about Nerf, I don't play with balls. :¼)
Training of the skill Wife Control to level 1 has not been completed, are you sure you want to run EvE.exe? |

It also depends on what you are flying. With a cruiser it's just about impossible if not ungodly. It's sad enough that it's a level 2 mish, which the rest you can handle fairly safely on a cruiser, but not this one. I'd say rather than nerf this mission, it gets moved to level 3, then you can make it harder even if y'all want.
For those of you who go on about how easy it is - you probably haven't tried the mission with less than 1 month eve time/less than 1M skillpoints & with a cruiser. It's disproportionately hard compared to the rest of the level2 missions, and you get tired of declining it when you've already lost a couple cruisers to it. |

... and your post is relevent how? - We're talking about the level 3 tech secrets mission, not a level 2 mission. Did you even read the topic? The topic title is a big enough clue even if you didn't bother to read any posts in here!

ive done this *against the minmatar fleet in a ferox, with a caracal and jag helping (probaly can do it solo), warp in and stay - dont warp out just sit there and pop each wave as it comes (i reccomend a cap booster on the ferox with an active tank.
