With most of these level II missions being a breeze in my Cruiser I blindly stepped upto 'Stop the thief'...... silly boy
I warped to the location and was greeted with 4 to 6 Flameburst missiles each and every 10 seconds or so from about 8 ships, the 'oh crap I better do something' thought came to mind so it was on with the invulnerability field and the shield booster, my cap started to leak like a convertable in a rain storm and my shield was taking a right kicking.... oh hang on.... my mistake, the armor was now taking a real kicking...
Took me 3 attempts of running like a girlie to repair and go back for another kicking for me to finally finish this. Hard mission for sure but where was I going wrong?
I'm not a noob in Eve but I'm not a veteran either so what should I have equipped for that mission in the future?
Thanks for your time

Edited by: Mastin Dragonfly on 17/06/2007 11:48:26 You may want to mention which ship you are flying. And I sure hope it's not the ship in your sig cause an Apoc is not that bad that it can't finish a lvl 2 mission in one go...
Anyway, flameburst missiles = thermal damage, adjust your resists to that.

Sorry, forgot to mention it's a Caracal. The ship in the sig is just a pic I found and liked, nothing more. Should have said that also.
So I'd need some thermal specific resistance modules, thx.

And switch your resistance modules ON before warping into a mission.

Invulnerability Fields don't, in fact, make you invulnerable.
Throw on some Thermal specific hardners. You'll do a lot better.

I'm doing this from memory because I'm not on-line and I haven't done a grind-up in a while. But, when I'm grinding up for a new agent I use the Caracal for 1's & 2's. What I do is:
HIGH:
Bunch of missile launchers (best salvage)
MID:
1. Fit a good shield booster. 2. A large(?) T2 shield extender. 3. A thermal SHEILD RESISTANCE AMP (I have sheild compensation skills). 4. An EM SHEILD RESISTANCE AMP. 5. An Afterburner (Caracals are tissue paper, need to move out of gun range ASAP).
LOW:
1. Two of the best Power Diagnositic Systems I have.
I get decent resistences for the short period of time I find myself in gun range and enough power to sustain the tank and AB for the short time it's necessary. And, once it's out of gun range, the Caracal simply owns all Level 1 & 2 missions.

my silly noob caracal set up note dont use this one 5x assult launchers with bloodclaw 1 small shield booster, 1 shield recharger, 2 large shield extenders, something else, may have been another shield recharger 2x pds.
what i would use now 5x heavy launchers with scourge heavy missiles 1x small shield booster (or go with a medium, i forget to turn the sb off and the small last a lot longer on the cap) 1 shield boost amp, 1 primary hardener, 1 2ndary hardener, 1 large shield extender, or another resist. 2x ballistic control unit
the hardeners should be switched depending on what you fight. in your case 1 thermal and not sure on the 2nd, probally em or kinetic.

Always look up a new mission if you don't want a surprise:

If I remember rightly, there's some EM damage from this mission, probably from the theif; that goes through shields quickly, as does the heavy thermal spam. Fit one or two thermal hardeners.
