The mission is not covered by a deadspace. While this does allow warping to the sentry guns to quickly move about within the grid, it also means that a shuttle can enter first, bookmark the grid, leave, and then come back directly to the bookmark in a Marauder, bypassing the acceleration gate.
My Kinetic/Thermal-tanked Kronos with Railguns and a Bastion module was able to deal with the Taloses easily.
Outside High Security, this means that a carrier can also warp into the mission and curbstomp the Taloses.

Relax, the turrets have really short range. Unless something changed, only one turret will shoot you at a time.

By the way, after completing the Serpentis Burner mission for the agent in Frarn, any further attempt to ask for a mission results in the agent text "I'm sorry, but what I've got is promised to another pilot already. Could you come back later?" Is this expected for Singularity?

Why? Warping in on a target at zero to ambush it is a time-honored PvP tradition, I thought? :P

Dangeresque Too wrote:Just a silly question here, if they have 180 turrets on grid, spread far enough away to warp in between, but only 1 turret can shoot you at once...
Why the increased load on systems with that many turrets if only 1 of them are ever going to be utilized at the same time? Or is that a bug and they really want all 180 turrets to agro you at once?
I think the turrets are there so that you can warp to them.
Come to think of it, Large Collidable Objects would also have worked just as well for this purpose; skip the turrets entirely.

SERPENTIS BURNER
I brought in a sacrificial Drake to test the tank of the Talos rats, using a Medium Micro Jump Drive to get in range quickly.
My log reads as follows:
[ 2015.04.16 23:03:04 ] (combat) 82 to Serpentis Burner Talos - Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 23:03:04 ] (combat) 74 to Serpentis Burner Talos - Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 23:03:04 ] (combat) 41 to Serpentis Burner Talos - Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 23:03:04 ] (combat) 65 to Serpentis Burner Talos - Caldari Navy Inferno Heavy Missile - Hits
Note that at my skills, the Drake has a 50% bonus to Kinetic damage, so we want to divide the 74 by 1.5 to get 49.3. So, adjusted damage dealt numbers are:
82 EM damage
65 Thermal damage
49.3 Kinetic damage
41 Explosive damage
So, those Talos burner rats are weakest to EM/Thermal damage. Maybe a Phantasm or Confessor can take it down?
BLOOD RAIDERS BURNER
I used a Gila to test the tank of the Prophecy rat. The Prophecy rat has non-negligible capacitor warfare AND stasis webification, and seems to be short-range fit (30 kilometers or less, I think?).
I had to get in close for missile tests with the Gila and got these numbers:
[ 2015.04.16 20:27:29 ] (combat) 31 to Blood Raider Burner Prophecy - Mjolnir Fury Light Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 20:27:29 ] (combat) 56 to Blood Raider Burner Prophecy - Inferno Fury Light Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 20:27:29 ] (combat) 75 to Blood Raider Burner Prophecy - Scourge Fury Light Missile - Hits
[ 2015.04.16 20:27:31 ] (combat) 47 to Blood Raider Burner Prophecy - Nova Fury Light Missile - Hits
The Gila has 50% bonus to thermal and kinetic missile damage at my skills, so when adjusted:
31 EM damage
37.3 Thermal damage
50 Kinetic damage
47 Explosive damage
So, the Prophecy burner rat is weakest to Kinetic/Explosive damage.

Okay, the Talos burner rats are only weakest to EM on the shield layer. The armor, which is much tougher, is weakest to Explosive.
The strange thing I noticed is that Nova Rage Heavy Assault Missiles (higher theoretical damage, 170 meters explosion radius) did less damage than the Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missiles (100 meters explosion radius), suggesting that these Talos rats are smaller than 170 meters signature radius. I was expecting them to be Talos-sized at 220 meters.
