Aaron	Posted - 2007.07.14 20:21:00 - [31] Quite a simple mission, Just get any frig, fit it with a proto cloaking device, It is a recon mission after all It takes about 10 mins, but its nice to get this mission out of the way, this method always works.
Krav Egad Inc. Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.15 00:54:00 - [32] I tanked the guristas with a t2 armor tank. Basically, though, you slowly bleed armor, so it's important you start moving to the gate and use it immediately. Or kill fast, which is hard due to jamming, but possible. I prefer to run it fast for LP's instead of remaining around to get the bounties. Krav ===== Stacking Penalties and you
Skylar1 Caldari	Posted - 2007.07.15 02:02:00 - [33] I recommend a fast inty/frig with best named/t2 afterburner and some speed mods for part 1. In the version I did (Pith Rats) I could not use the cloak as there was a gas cloud immediately after warping in from the accel gate. There were a few rats right away with more groups coming in as I travelled to the gate. Part 2, a shuttle or cloakable inty with 2 stabs should be fine, no rats upon warping in from the accel gate, but once I got close to the locked accel gate (40-ish km's away), sentry's and rats(they scram) spawned. The locked accel gate does not unlock, so once you get to it your mission should be done and you can warp out. (My mission completion message didn't pop up right away, so a shuttle was exploded for me) Part 3, any ship with an omni tank, afterburner and 3-4k hp's should be fine. There are no rats in this part and upon warp in from gate and I landed 58km from next gate. AB towards next gate, tanking the cloud fire, use next gate and you're done. Cool graphics on this stage. Hope this helps and nice series to get 7-10k lp's in under 10 minutes
Siltex	Posted - 2007.07.18 18:03:00 - [34] about part 3/3: fitting: hi: nothing fitted so i cannot loose the modules there :) med: x-large neutron saturation injector (booster) t2 field for all dmg types (active) 1x 100mn ab low: 3x diagnostic system 1x dmg control 1x large armor repper cloud damage increases while approaching the gate. it started with 200 dmg and increased up to ~800 dmg - damage occurs each 20 seconds. i ran out of cap exacty when i reached the gate but shields where on 50% - so it was no problem. resis on shield: em: 60 ex: 84 ki: 75 th: 67 greetings, siltex
Sanzorz Amarr EVEfan.dk	Posted - 2007.07.18 18:30:00 - [35] This mission is highly overrated, but I guess it depends what faction you're up against. I get Sansha in my missions and it's a walk in a park in an Abaddon, although the bounty overall ain't that big. Instead I grab my Crusader or Malediction just an Afterburner. Speedmods are not even needed. AB to the gates. Sansha can't even hit you in first part. 2nd one against Mercs is laughable. They spawn when you're 10km away from the gate and you're already warping out when they aggro you. 3rd part. I use my Abaddon with DCU, 2 EAN, Explo Hardner and Kinetic Hardner. Just put on the single armor repair and you don't have to worry at all. The damage IS reduced from hardners. --- Member of the Danish Evefan.DK corp
Riho Gallente Magnificent Beavers Exquisite Malevolence	Posted - 2007.07.18 18:43:00 - [36] Originally by: Gahjek getting slaughtered in this mission, in a raven, T2 fitted, whole room aggro's me as soon as i warp in (30 ships) and cant lock any as smaller frigs are preventing me, in there about 10secs and shields and amour to zero. got two T2 hardeners thermal and ballistic. using T2 cruise missiles. faction against me are the guristas. anyone done this, any tips? thanks dunno.. my t2 sleip tanks it easy whit 1x large booster and no boostamp :P i really love this missions... 1st part = lot of isk from bountys, 2nd and 3rd part i just zoom throught :D --------------------------------------- Sig killed by MODs.... reworking it Great being Gallente... aint it ? ----------------- YARRRR, sig hijack! -HornFrog -----------------
Guillame Herschel Gallente Cheers Restaurant and Bar Coalition Of Empires	Posted - 2007.07.19 22:40:00 - [37] Originally by: Katabrok First I stopped shooting at 270 km from the acceleration gate. And then I smiled and said to myself: "Now you can call yourself a man again." Did you have fun salvaging that 270km-long train of wrecks? Quote: The setup on my Rokh was: Even in a Rokh you have to string it out like that, wow. I must be getting uber or something. I do this one in my Maelstrom using 8x 800mm T1 Autocannons. I get a nice big pile of wrecks all nicely compacted within a 30km sphere, ready for looting and salvaging. Of course, I use ammo like it was going out of style, but it only takes me 20 minutes to kill them all. -- Guile can always trump hardware --
The Rincewind Walhalla Enterprises Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 08:09:00 - [38] Originally by: Chris Stormrider first area is filled with enemies. I couldn't tank 'em with 82% kinetic and thermal resistance, but you only need to approach the acceleration gate and use it, one the second step you'll find less than half of them, at which point the mission is complete. You can kill them if you like or go back to your agent. no idea which NPCs were infront of ya in the "Recon (1 of 3) but i had Blood Raiders and they just deal EM and TERM damage. btw i ve killed them with my crm raven.. (T2 fitted) but good to know that i m not forced to fight them. Eveinfo.com has no information about these Missions.
The Rincewind Walhalla Enterprises Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 09:34:00 - [39] Edited by: The Rincewind on 01/08/2007 09:37:42 btw i did it with the following setup: 6 crm II, 2x heavy diminishing 1x DG X-Large SB, 2x Ampl. II, 2x EM and 1 Term Hardener II 2 BCU II, 2x PDU II, 1x CPU II 3 CCC as i already said.. i had blood raiders in the first step.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.08.01 15:49:00 - [40] Edited by: Andrue on 01/08/2007 15:49:09 I had this again last night and either I've been lucky up 'till now or the devs have just tweaked the Guristas jamming up a notch. I swear I was jammed pretty much continuously for fifteen minutes. At one point my Nighthawk's shield was hovering around 43% I still don't think this mission can break my (almost) passive tank but it's certainly a nasty one and I love it -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**
Taji Seed The BlackHand Order	Posted - 2007.08.02 18:14:00 - [41] I got this mission for the first time today, haven't being doing lvl 4s long tried it in a shuttle first.. got popped 1/2 way to the gate tried it in a condor with afterburner.. got popped 1/2 way tried it in a typhoon with about 88% resistance to kinetic.. i was on 20% armor when the lag from warping in died. finally.. tried it in a jaguar, with 3 kinetic shield hardeners, afterburner, and 3 overdrives... made it to the gate but ship got popped whilst trying to warp. thats 15 mil im not gonna see again for a while. i'd suggest ignoring all the advice here, didnt work. oh, and you cant activate gates in a pod.

Similar results here (mission is vs Guristas)....except that in a Condor I made it to the gate with about 1/3 structure left but lag prevented my spamming of the activate gate button to go thru until after the ship popped. At which point the increasingly annoying list of unacceptable ship types comes up reminding me of yet another condor going poof. BTW, was doing 1100m/s in the Condor, 625m/s in a shuttle which only got me 1/2 way there. Already lost a Raven (not fully T2) and don't want to loose another. Tried the covops trick but couldn't since some mumbo jumbo about interference prevented the cloak from activating. Soon as I saw that message I was warping to station before any chance of loosing the Crow. When is Rev2.2 coming?!?!
Sokot Gallente Brute Force Algorithm	Posted - 2007.08.02 19:22:00 - [43] Vs Serpentis: Part 1, Ishtar ftw! I went and got more beers as my Ishtar orbited a BS with a couple of NOS and AB, I just let my Ogre II`s run free and the MAR II permarun. I was never below 70% armor. Part 2, Sniping mega. Just get proper distance, 100+ from the gate. Fire a round at the starbase. Snipe the scrambling frigs, and then start whopping away. You could go a bit closer with AM ammo and sentries too... Part 3, take the same sniping mega and fit some Cap rechargers so the LAR II will more or less permarun alongside the AB. Go get even more beer.

Did a better job of popping the jammers and only got jammed once. Shield never went below 65%. Walk in the park -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**
Crystalium Minmatar Infinite Improbability Inc	Posted - 2007.08.03 08:16:00 - [45] Did it recently, domi perm tank, 91.3% kin/therm wait for agro all pop, unleash ogre 2, afk.
Aaron	Posted - 2007.08.03 11:37:00 - [46] Im not sure why lots of eve players look for the most technical way of doing things, sometimes things are more simple that they appear, i did this; - got a frigate - fitted it with a proto cloaking device - Completed the mission within 15 minutes This method works everytime.
Crystalium Minmatar Infinite Improbability Inc	Posted - 2007.08.03 11:56:00 - [47] maybe because this way you don't earn any bounty, any loots, any salvage components ?
ballcracker	Posted - 2007.08.03 15:45:00 - [48] All 3 parts of this recon mission are "doable" part one, guristas, done in a raven, use 100ab and burn to gate, pop the cruisers as u go, then if u want just jump to other side of gate then align out, get some speed and kill um all part two, mercs, good fun, kill um all part three, just knock up your shield resists, same set up as part 2, and burn to gate then jump when i first attempted this mission i walked through it but forgot my setup then after losing a raven to the first part i refused loads of times but eventually thought sod it, i can do this and have done it ever since. bc
Koto Rae Absolutely No Return The Red Skull	Posted - 2007.08.03 16:28:00 - [49] The DPS that you have to absorb in this first lvl is pretty high. It is tough to kill anything because of the jamming. Kill all the Dire ships first, starting with the cruisers. This will stop the jamming and allow you to kill the BS's to reduce the DPS you have to tank. Once you get a BS or two down, you should be golden to finish the rest. Or as others have said, put on some speed and a tank and run for the gate without having to kill any rats.

Just make sure that the jammers are priority number one. Break off attacking any other ship as soon as any of these little sods pops up: Assassin Killer Murderer Saboteur All but the sab. are medium size ships so are easy enough to pop with heavy missiles or even cruise. The sab is a frig so even cruise will struggle. The Extinguisher BS can also jam but usually not until you start poking it so leave it 'till last. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**
Pisi Mopsu NET Profit Trading	Posted - 2007.08.04 14:10:00 - [52] Do it in a shuttle... it's the only way! No money wasted on ammo... no ships lost, and if you do it's what... 8000 isk? LOL Warp in... fly to the gate... activate it... go collect your reward. Same for parts 1 and 2. Third part ya just tank and activate the gate. Easiest lvl 4 mission there is... not bad money either!!

Easiest lvl 4 mission there is... not bad money either!! Or get a decent fitting, blow everything up and earn..what? 10mil in bounties in half an hour. The loot will prolly be crap but including salavging you'd likely get another 4 or 5 mil. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**

Kurdain	Posted - 2007.08.05 03:40:00 - [55] Dominix. Armor tanked vs. Guristas. 2x LAR2, appropriate hardeners, 2x active, 2x passive. 2x Armor repair booster rigs. 1x Cap rig. Bunch o'cap rechargers and what-not. A few guns too for some added damage when I feel like it. I just let everything aggro, park in 1 spot and wait for my drones to pick off everything, killing cruisers/BC's first, frigates, then BS's last usually. The first few moments are a little intense but its easily done. Last stage is easily done with a single armor repper, the last 'wave' takes a nice chunk our of your armor but no worry at all.
Zo5o	Posted - 2007.08.05 10:38:00 - [56] Against Blood Raiders, killing everything in pocket 1 is easy peasy. The ships in this pocket are slooooooow... my domi w/ab was flying at about 320 m/s and was outrunning even the frigates! Blood Raiders are pansies at range... just run while taking out the cruisers (because they nos), then just stop the ship and kill the 7 BS, since 7 blood raider BS shouldn't be too difficult to tank, and you can pop most of them before they get in range anyways with a sniper setup. The long stream of wrecks this leaves shouldn't be too much of a problem... simply bookmark a wreck, complete mission, and come back with mwd salvager, problem solved, enjoy your melted cap consoles. Pocket 2, however, spawns 3 nossing cruisers in nos range, and I was not able to outrun these, so I made the decision to warp while I still had cap to warp. A passive tank might be a good idea if one wishes to kill the ships in this pocket.
Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves	Posted - 2007.08.05 14:06:00 - [57] Profitability is not amount of isk, but amount of isk (this includes LP at base 1000 isk/lp, though you can get significantly more) per time unit. A lot of people actually think that a mission that gives you 20 mil in bounties is better than one that gives 5, no matter what. That is so wrong. Like duo of death is actually one of the most profitable missions around, yet many people think its crap. At the same time Angel extra, which so many people consider great, is only average. As for Recon, due to the uneconomical NPC composition (too many HACs and worthless mercs) paired with relatively high mission rewards, it yields a MUCH better isk/time if you blitz it with a fast ship. But please continue fighting them, keeps the reward high for us blitzers There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones
Rabiator	Posted - 2007.08.05 21:13:00 - [58] Did it solo with a shield-rigged Drake (even after the BC shield reload nerf it's a very good choice). But even that ship cannot tank the onslaught forever, so you have to approach the next gate right away and use it. Another time, I did it with a corpmate (Drake + Hyperion). Between the two of us, we could clean out the Guris and loot afterwards
Katabrok First Caldari Asguard Security Service Angels Of Discord	Posted - 2007.08.06 13:50:00 - [59] Just to let you know. I completed this mision this week in a harpy, with an ab. Easy easy. Just got to 81% shields. Katabrok, the space barbarian. I want the The Correct DreadÖ!!!!
