I got the mission tonight, and took a few Corp mates along to whack the Tempests...no bounty or faction hit. Loot was ok too. Well....ok to me....I'm only in a cruiser, so 1200mm and 1400mm artilleries and a 100nm AB is nice to see ;)
Although, 1 of us did end up in an egg.  |

Originally by: Markku Those Gallente Navy Megathrons were piece of cake with Raven. I kept at 65km from them and used cruise missiles. They didn't hit me once.
Ha, I wish I could say the same of Caldari Navy Ravens... 
It seem, us, Caldari agent runners, got the toughest opponents so far. Other people (Amarrians) report dealing with Apocs just as easily as you did with Megas...
I guess it depends on what experience you have. Those Ravens never got my shield below 90%, but I engaged them at 60-80km so a few stray missiles (had kinetic hardener on) and a few shots didn't hurt at all. Used a lot of missiles, though.

Edited by: MrRookie on 28/07/2004 06:51:26 A guy asked about 8 people to help in out killing the 3 Ravens. So me and 7 others did it. I can confirm that the Ravens shoot back cuz they actualy podded me and 3 others. I think we had had 2 Megathrons and 6caracals or so. It wasnt easy at all. The Raven spamed cruise missiles like hell. I selected my caracal to orbit at 48 km but it just kept go straight ahead towoards them and didnt wanna turn so soon I was 15 km away from one and they started locking as I alreayd had fired at them. Damn lag :b It was fun anyway. _____________________________________________

yea i was called in bye reebo77 to help with the 3 ravens. First one i took out in a megathron at about 50 km with 7 * 425mm and torps but they fired like a 100 cruise missiles on me. i was armour tanked but the 3 kept firing on me so i had to run for repairs becouse me 2 armour reps could not repair the damage beating i took on time they just could not keep up. so i went back to base and took me apoc and fitted with radio lensen and tach lasers + smartbomb. when i got there there where a few cruisers podded already. i took out the last raven with little damage at 100 km away (shields where at 60 % when he was dead). when the 3 are there the best thing is to stay about 80 km away then you can easely take em out 1 bye 1 (you best take some friends to help). gedding close like 40 - 50 km is a bad idea if you alone. The second raven was killed bye caracals(8 of them)well done to those brave pilots. the bounty was 750k per piece and one more thing.... they also fire 425 mm rounds at you. don't try this in a cruiser alone is me advice :-)

heh :) reebo77 called me in too so I guess that was u in the Mega. I was one of the caracals that got podded. Did u get the last raven aswell? cuz when I got back to pick up my loot There was still a Raven there but it didnt target anyone.. Damn I didnt even get a share of the bounty lol. Only a bill to my next incurance company. I have never fought a BS before so it was fun tho  _____________________________________________

Yes we killed the tirth raven. No worrys if you ever need help in nourvikaiken and can't find anywon il be glad to help. i do think the loot belongs to the one that had the mission so i payed him the bountys i had and never touch't the cans of the ravens. Just my idea of fair play tho.

I had a play with the 3 Megas on my mission. I was using an apoc with 4 tachs installed (and a bunch of smaller weapons for dealing with frigs for when running missions). They took a lot of pounding to go down (they did shield recharge). They were also hitting me with either projectiles or hybrids (not sure). With 2 medium armour repairers 2's going my armour was dropping but quite slowly.
Another point to note was that for me I think that only the ship I fired upon returned fire (again not 100% sure) so they could be taken out one by one with a break in between.
Ouch I read above that someone actually got podded - I did not think that NPC's podded ppl anymore since splash damage was removed - or am I mistaken on that??

I had nearly the same mission last night in 0.0 space, only money as a reward. Same strange bookmark and a dummy message. But whats that? 3 Arch Angel Warlords, very strong battleships, 1M bounty each. 
I killed the 3 rats with 2 of my corpmates in a gang. The rats fired a lot of Cruise-Miss, but not enough... No rare loot! The rest of the story is the same.

I did the mission twice last night in my geddon alone. I know, I am that good. j/k Anyways I hadto take them one at a time then run back to station for repairs and such. After I killed the first one it got easier. The hard part is just getting the first of the 3 ravens.
The first time I did the mission, no awesome loot, some decent stuff I could sell, but nothing great. The second time, however...
425mm prototype I gauss gun.
I am selling if anyone is interested. convo me

Originally by: Markku Those Gallente Navy Megathrons were piece of cake with Raven. I kept at 65km from them and used cruise missiles. They didn't hit me once.
Ha, I wish I could say the same of Caldari Navy Ravens... 
It seem, us, Caldari agent runners, got the toughest opponents so far. Other people (Amarrians) report dealing with Apocs just as easily as you did with Megas...
I guess it depends on what experience you have. Those Ravens never got my shield below 90%, but I engaged them at 60-80km so a few stray missiles (had kinetic hardener on) and a few shots didn't hurt at all. Used a lot of missiles, though.
Well they did strip me of my shields.... but then again, I was armor tanking.
I warped in at 60k, managed to get one Raven to separate from the group and then killed him with ease, so, one on one was no problem for me. It's the second group, the ramaining two Ravens that engaged together... I got a bit careless with them, forgot to activate my Accommodation Vestment Reconstructor in time (my other repairer, the Tech II medium one, was working non-stop all that time), forgot to turn Autorepeat off on my rocket launchers with defenders, etc, so the Ravens managed to get into my structure and I had to warp out for repairs.
Then I tweaked my setup a bit, swapped the med. repairer for a Mag Field Stab. II, set my large armor rep. to 'autorepeat', went in the second time and killed them both without any problems.
I agree, it all depends on the experience, and this was my first time engaging NPC battleships. I've made a few mistakes that could've otherwise cost me my Mega, but in the end learned from them, and when I got that mission again it was much easier - I used blasters. Soloed 6 battleships in all, with no help and am proud of that!
