Objective - take out the Battleship
Sounds simple and all, but after unloading almost 1.5k Havoc Heavy Missiles on it it refuses to die.
I looked up the stats for 'Republic Tribal Ymir'. Isn't this an elite battleship rat? I can't even dent it past the shield.
I've done various lvl 3 missions for a week now, but after the patch this looks like one of those new missions. Is the battleship suppose to be this tough? I took out a Guarista Raven rat pre-patch with some difficulty, but still manage to take it out, but this battleship just refuses to die.

I feel your pain brotha. I've had to pull out cruise missiles to even hit its shield and ive been shooting for a while now. Its shield recharge is maddening.

lol i filed a petition on that mission, even my raven fitted for lvl 4 missions had to reload 2 times to kill it. i barely killed it before it killed it me, i had to fit 2xBCS to kill his tank and i had a TP on him, that's like killing a rat with a 2m+ bounty.

Its a level 3 mission, not sure if they require additional help to complete.
If a raven can barely take it out, I doubt my little drake can kill it.
I've also petitioned, still waiting for their response. |

GM said working as intended. Time to train for battleship skills. |

I just popped him now while in a myrm. Since these were 'only' L3s I hadn't bothered doing anything more than slapping on 4x Large azeos and 1 large booster (shush. I'm a little weird when it comes to these things. I like drones, projectile weaponry and shields. bit tricky to find a matching ship for this) so I had to ask an alliance friend to drop by with his vexor + reppers to keep me up because it was taking bloody ages to do anything to him. Definitely a nasty tank on this measly level 3 bastard.
With 3 ogre 1s and 5 (I think it was) hammerhead 2s from the vexor beating on him from start to finish it still took 2 full clips from 6 fusion-loaded 720mm siege cannons to bring him down :\ |

Um yea, need to work on my skill points more, just under 3mil, more than 50% devoted to learning skills. Oddly enough I can do almost all the other lvl 3 missions, just not this one.
Its not a problem of surviving, he can't kill me, but I can't kill him either.

Any PvE setup with less than 2x Tech II damage mods is so inefficient it pains me. You should have had a proper setup to begin with. ------------ Improvize. Adapt. Overcome.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this guy was hard to break.
I had my retribution orbiting him... after a while I decided to go make dinner (and left my ship hitting him) - when I came back I had still not broken his tank... With overloading and a little luck I managed to break his tank and get him into armor - but I gave up in the end and fetched an apoc to kill him.
n.b. the retribution had 3x heat sink 2s, tracking enhancer, tech 2 pulses with amarr navy MF's

Your lucky your doing it in ships that have missile launcher slots ;)
Trying it for the Amarr is properly hard, as the weapons you are most effective with (Lazorz) are virtually ineffective against it. It does sound a little silly to have such a powerful foe in a lvl 3 (i've had this mission twice now, and I've been unable to complete it, meaning I've lost a standing point [not just a 0.X; a whole X.0] when I fail out). I dont even know if its even possible with anything less than a small fleet for the Amarr.. . i've already become so angry doing this mission that i wont be able to sleep properly tonight.. *grumble grumble*

Got this one last night. Was unable to do anything with it in my drake. I could tank the room fine, but the BS not only tanked the heavy missiles I threw at it effortlessly, it tried to run away from me. My missile skills are still weak (only 3m SP so far, and most on learning and shields), so my DPS flat out sucked against it.
Took a buddy to come in with a tackler top slow him down and his alt in a mirmadon to finish him off.
I'll decline this one next time I see it. ---------------------------------- NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! |

I was able to complete this mission in my Drake with 7 Malkuth Heavy Launchers using CN Scourge missiles and 5 light drones. I had to reload at least twice, but it was doable.

Interesting side note about this mission line: if you refuse the first mission, you get the mission series again the following time, but reversed. Instead of killing the Gallente ambassador, you get to kill the Minmatar ambassador. And the second mission is to go kill the Gallente flagship BB, which in my case was a Federation Praktor Hyperion. I have no idea if the Gallente BB is easier than the Minmatar BB, but I had no problems killing it, and quite frankly my skills rather suck for flying a Drake (BC 2, all missile skills at 3, can only use T1 hardners and cannot fit Nos/Neuts). This is the fitting I used:
[Drake, Passive Tank] Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II
Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II Ditrigonal Thermal Barrier Crystallization I Ditrigonal Thermal Barrier Crystallization I Non-Inertial Ballistic Screen Augmentation I Non-Inertial Ballistic Screen Augmentation I
Salvager I 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile
[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Hobgoblin I x4 Hobgoblin I x1
You'll note I only have Drones IV. I killed off all the other ships, reloaded missiles, orbited the Hyperion at 25 km and engaged. It died in a little over 4 minutes. I had 3 launchers with 11 missiles left, and 4 with 12 each. Total fired: 101 Scourge Heavy Missiles. Perhaps I got lucky with his armor repping; according to Eveinfo, that ship has a 74% chance of repairing 710 damage every 10 seconds.
Anyway, if you have problems with this mission series, try refusing the first one and see if it's easier killing the Gallente battleship.

Lol I just finished this mission in my Harbinger, rockin' 7x Meta 3 Heavy Beam Lasers loaded with Multi. BC Level 3. I took it out, but it took freaking forever because I couldn't permarun my guns and my AB to stay in range. However, if I can do it with about 220 dps on EM and Thermal, any Drake ought to be able to.
