Anyone able to set up a cruiser to take out a 50k pirate? As my agent has given me this mission before, I'd like to be able to handle this but quite frankly my routine agent mission setup isnt up to it and im wondering if a Moa can do the job. Appreciate some help on this. I was used to those 4-6k rats so I was a bit unprepared to face the wrath of Gurista Emissary while cruisin in a blackbird.

I would suggest high shielding (booster, extender, resists) combined with afterburner in med slots and cruise missiles/torpedos in high slots. keep distance and kill him slowly. ;).

I am pleased to offer my services to assit any pilots in the disposal of Guristas Emissaries. All I ask in return is 50% of the loot from the Emissary. I fly a Scorpion, so it is no problem for me. Just drop me an eve-mail.

Any cruiser is good. Just keep them at range (above 20km) and kill them with lasers. I did it twice in Blackbird.

"Anyone able to set up a cruiser to take out a 50k pirate?"
... Kestrel, afterburners, cruise missiles, stay at 50+ k from the target and fire away...
(Blackbird with cruise missiles and MWD will work as well i figure)

I had a setup. 1 Thorax with 3 250mm hybrids 2 150mm med shield booster and some stuff. 5 heavy drones. I deploy my drones he starts shooting and instead pushing alt <F1> I press the windows button. when I finally get the game back up I have no shield and warp the hell out, forgetting my drones.
I allow my shield to recharge and go back in and take him down without drones. But my armour was down to 30%. So my guess is that he shouldnŠt be a problem with most high end cruisers.

All that is no good if u end up within their scrambler and webber distance :)
I did an assist on one of these missions, and as we were gang'ed we got 2x50k etc spawning within 7-10 km. He was in a thorax and I was in my scorp so it was no real biggie, but I did take enough dmg to my shields to have wiped the thorax.
I'm not saying it can't be done with a frigate, after all it's just guristas :) Just that u should not expect them to sit 30 km away and wait for u to kill them.
So an mwd and long range weapons is my suggestion if u plan on going alone.

Range : lesson learnt
Get the range at 40km and use radio laser and
torps.....radio large that is...
O h and a scorpion.....
torps splash damage and radio combined make life alot easier.......
I think they should give a sec rating increase to....
Ps My agent said the mission was "hush-hush"...er how come you all know....is she a liar..

an old post from when they first appeared.
note the multiplication of spawning rats do not seem to be in effect anymore, even if u are in a gang :(

If you got a blackbird, and you only expect to face one 50K pirate, try using heavy missiles on three launchers and one 250mm railgun. I am assuming here you may not have high skills because if you do, taking out 50k pirates with a blackbird can be taken out with any reasonable configuration according to the individual player's style.
People who farm on spawns do not use missiles as they are too expensive, and missiles are only used for emergency purposes, but in your case, you only need to get through one mission.
So just lock and launch. Use the 250mm railgun with antimatter for additional damage.
Is this a level 3 mission? Great mission.

I got one of these missions two days ago, and took my Vexor so I'd be sure to take out the pirate (only an NPC after all, how hard could it be, right?). On warp-in my cap dropped to zero as I activated my weapons (I assume this was the cap bug rearing its ugly head) and when I tried to run I was warplocked. A minute later I was dead, having hardly dented his shields...

When battling npc pirates, I've learned two things: Keep the distance and don't bring energy hungry weapons.
If he fires missiles, bring out the heavy drones, they got the missiles away from me.
I haven't met the 50k pirate yet, but the rest is easily done with two 250mm hybrid railguns and some heavy drones.

Thorax
Hi-4x250 rails + am ammo
Mid-ab, range mod, shield booster
Low-damage mod, range mod, 3xPDU
Drones-8 mixed heavy combat
All gunnery, Eng and Elec skills at 3 or above.
This setup will take down a 50k rat in a very short time. Optimal range of 22km and a falloff of 13km mean that you can hit at upwards of 30k.
The almost identical setup also works in a Vexor

Thorax: 5 Ion Blasters, load med / low slots for damage and speed.
Warp in, lock, ab or mwd to 2km, open fire, collect drugs & data sheets, say something about forgetting to launch yer combat drones, set autopilot, jump out.

Moa with 4 650mm atrillery and 2 missile launchers works just fine. Combine with techshilds, mwd and shield booster.
Then, as prev posted - lock target, mwd away to gain safe distance and give 'em all you've got. =)

Wow i must have a seriously kick ass moa...
I heard how tough this was so got out of my normal Kestral mission ship and took my moa. Close up no sitting at 50k and such 10k engagement, spanked him and his freinds easily.
I was very dissapointed, not showing off but did i get a weak guy or something? Didnt even lose shields...
P.S give me a shout and ill come and help for free, i want to see if it was just luck...

Thanks for all replies...here's the story of how this mission went for me. I went in my BB, and got spanked to about 30% armor. Then I retreated to a station repaired and asked for help. I got a Caracal and a Apoc to help me out, and another ship stood by and watched without helping. When we attacked the Emissary it killed the Caracal and stripped my shields good before finally going down. I paid out 150 k to each pilot who assisted and gave an Osprey to the pilot who lost a Caracal as partial compensation. This mission quite sucked. I did the mission before I posted the initial topic, just to see what different ppl think and have seen.

Everything is in the configurations of the ships and the tactics. It could go easy or hard. Its very often that pilots farming NPCs hours on end have it real 'easy', and suddenly they make a single slip up, come in a few km too close, and everythings a catastrophy.
I had distance between me and the emissary, suddenly I made a turn, lost the distance, and started taking hits on my armour and hull. Luckily finished him before he did me, thats all.

I actually equipped my BB for EW on this mission with 3 (I think) heavies firing heavy missiles (prolly widowmakers).
Basically, I got spanked trying to use the EW and ran like hell for repairs.
Came back and returned the spanking from about 30K. Fired a *lot* of heavy missiles and only realised later that I was prolly loosing a lot impacting against his missiles. That would explain why I never saw any return fire. (Doh!)
Regardless, took me a while but on the return trip, he never touched me at that range.

I lost my punisher to this rat in under 15 seconds so I got smart and called for help on local and a very nice person came to my aid in a armaggedon and blow him away for me.
If you can catch me you can have me. |

umm...jamming a npc is always risky....
but this works for my BB so:
3x250mm rail-ammo set to about 25k optimal
1xmissle launcher...a few banes are quite handy :) or defenders if you want to.
2-3 cap store-recharge
1 med shield boost
2 shield hardners
1x Ab or MWD
lo: power diags :)
as long as you stay about 25-30k away from them you should have no problem... :)
