I recently got to level 3 missions. I was previously running level 2 command missions in a caracal and it was a piece of cake. I would run through a mission while watching tv and not worry about it.

Now I'm in my first lv3 mission and I can't get past it. I'm not longer in a caracal, I'm doing this mission in a Scorpion.

I'm fighting Sansha faction.

Could someone help me out with advice on a setup for my scorp? I have about 1.3mil SP. My first setup I tried was 4 heavys, Large smart bomb, and a heavy nos in highs; 3 large extenders, EM hardener, Invuln hardener, XLG booster and a sensor booster in mid, and 2 BCUs, a damage control, and adaptive nano plate in lows.

Thought this may work, but they tore through me like butter. I have 13k shields with those extenders, and 60% em resists, and 50% therm resists with the hardeners.

The heavys weren't doing much damage to the small frigs so it seemed, so i put on some assault launchers. The assault launchers seemed to do a little more damage but i would still have to warp out. It would take a great deal of missiles just to take out one of the smaller frigs.

I have to say, for my character i have pretty decent missile skills. about 200k SP in it. I don't want to bother naming off all my skills and SP in each, but for the cake walk the level2s were I wouldn't have imagined the level3s to be so impossible for me.

I just can't make it through.

The mission I'm running right now is called "Massive Attack".

Is there any advice on setup or the mission itself that anyone could give? I would like to start off my first level 3 mission by passing it, but as it is now, it seems impossible for me.

thanks
