I realise they are rare, but when you actually do find one how do they compare to - say - L4 missions? Any randomness in how they behave or are they just a slightly tougher BS?
I'm not likely to see one for quite some time so I'm living vicariously through trying to find out about other peoples experiences

Officers are pretty much wimps.
Estamel a is big officer in the 0.0 belt spawns, and does less than 200 raw DPS (all kinetic and thermal). He's got like 50 for his low resist, only 7k shields, and regens less than 100 per second, effectively.
Compare that to a typical BS in a level 4 mission that might do 75-120 DPS, has about the same shields, and just boosts less often.

Thanks.
I would've assumed that officers would need a gang to take down, but then the AI in PvE is hardly the most advanced thing around.

officers used to be a pain in the ass to kil but then ccp gave in to the whiners.
a faction spawn bs spawn used to be like this:
1 faction bs
3-5 normal bs
6-9 cruisers
5-7 frigs
now adays you can just office hunt useing a vaga or a ishtar.

how are they often found?
randomly in belts? exploration sites?
i've been in a number of 0.0 alliances and spent 80% of my 2 years in nullsec and only heard of 1 pilot i know getting one

Never fought one but from the stats from eve info they appear to be about as tough as Rachen Mysuna.

the officers i met so far (2x brokara and 1x thon) were pretty easy to kill.
spawns were 3-4 bs only.

Personally I think Amarr ships should consume slaves in a similar way that other ships consume ammunition.

Officers randomly spawn in systems in which you chain over and over and over again - sometimes real sec status can be apart of it, but usually clearing every spawn in a system with like 10-20 belts over and over again in a system that has a real sec status of about -0.8 to -1.0 will eventually spawn an officer (This is all just speculated though) They just tend to pop up in systems that get ratted a lot.
Any who they are extremely easy, I found one with just him and 2 BS. The BS he was with were harder than him... He dropped like a panzy and dropped no officer gear...Looser...Just 9 Dread Guristas Items totally up to about 300mill in loot...Pathetic...

Despite the fact that it looks like Nyssah equated "chaining" with "clearing", they are actually pretty much opposite. Clearing entire rat spawns will cause entirely new spawns to appear, giving a chance for that spawn to be an officer one. Chaining causes the same spawns to remain in the system for the most part, very much limiting the opportunity for officers to appear.
Naturally officers appear "in systems that get ratted a lot" more than elsewhere, because elsewhere the rats are not constantly being killed so that there is a chance for the officers to spawn (except at, downtime and perhaps randomly when spawns decide to poof and such).

People *whined* about that??? WTF??!?! I'd kill for that sort of ratting. Man,,, what the hell is up with people? This'd help fix the problem of macro-ratters at least. Good luck using a raven on autopilot against that lot.

Mizuro Cybon (only officer I ever got) + 2 x Angel Saints with him I popped with a passive tank Cerberus without breaking a sweat...can't comment on the others sorry.
Afaik (someone correct me if I'm wrong), true system sec needs to be -0.80 or such for a chance at officer, and then it's something like 1/10 000? |

First part is wrong - second part seems about right.

Hmm... some people must have found ways to farm them because I see people selling 10+ officer items in the sell orders forum. |
