Missions & Complexes

I have done a google search, since it is not in SurivlalGuide.org.

Only hits I can come up with are about 6 months old when the mission was bugged.
Can anyone give me insights on DPS to expect, triggers, what is needed to be killed to end mission, etc?

Thanks.

Is it entirely impossible for people to do missions without their hands being held?

I've had it three times today. The npcs you come up against are randomish - I came up against serpentis, blood raiders, guristas and angels each time I ran it but they weren't always the same types or in the same places. Be careful if you have a salvage alt as there may be a time based trigger for some rats - you leave a room thinking its clear and your alt runs into more rats. Bounties are very good but due to sheer number of rats it takes time.

Also got it couple days before for the first time. What did I found:
on arriving: Serpentis,
1st room: Blood Raiders,
2nd room: Serpentis,
3rd room: Guristas and Blood Raiders. This one was the worst, as right from the start got scrambled by Dire Pithis and constantly jammed by two Nullifiers, it took few minutes even to send my drones on scramblers.
After killing named NPC the mission flagged as completed, but there still are few waves of NPC battleships if you want, triggered by the last one of previous wave.
Decent bounties - totally 33mil incl. mission reward, loot/salvage approx 20mil. But took a bit too long because of distant gates and npcs being spawned too far in the last room (like 115-120km), spent on that almost 1hr.

First, a shout-out to the CCP PvE crew (Team Commie Pinkos?) — thank you for this mission, it's entertaining of itself and I welcome the novelty of having new mission to run

The first gate is locked until (a) all NPCs are dead and (b) someone with the key unlocks it. The remaining gates are locked until all the NPCs are dead. The only "blitz" for this mission is to kill the target NPC in the last room and leave. But then you leave those juicy 1M+ ISK battleships — being Gallente, you get to blow most of them up long before they get to shoot you, so it's basically free ISK. Some of the salvage from this mission is attractive too.

Watch out for the many different range that NPCs will maintain. Angel Cartel of course like short-range attacks, some of the Serpentis will get in close to use blasters, others will stay at 80-100km sniping with rails, and there are a couple of tackle frigates.

I remember leaving a few rats in one of the rooms, so I would guess that only the first room is locked.

I really need to do this mission again and test it further.

From my recall of this mission...
Get gate key in first pocket.
while burning to acceleration gate.. shoot trigger and jump.
Do the same thing for remaining pockets until final pocket in which you must kill the trigger for completion.

Very blitz able. I completed in Tengu with 10mn burner no issue. Standard tank 1 x Invul and 1 x Photon.

FInal pocket does however have a few jamming Frigates you should worry about if you cant tank.

I hope they make more missions like this. Being able to look up the mission and know exactly what to expect has become alarmingly too simple. The only danger in L4's nowadays seems to be when you first start doing them, but after a while, you're more worried about watching for probes on d-scan than the missions' "high-threat targets". Even scram/web frigs are more an anoyance than real danger if you've done the mission a couple of times. Keep this going CCP, nice work.

if you clear a pocket and warp out (had to empty coargohold) when you warp back in there will be a different set of rats there, (so you can double the amount of rats in a mission if your there for the bounties)works twice for each pocket. like someone else said fit for omni tank and second pocket can be a pain due to ecm, sat there for 20mins constantly locked in a torp boat waiting for drones to chew on BS and throwing volleys when i could get a breif lock. id probably take a cnr with fofs in next time. mission is flagged complete when you kill the pirate in last pocket. each room has a gate thats 25km away.

2nd room: first spawn Serpentis, second time you warp in Guristas that ecm heavily.


edit : thx ccp, made a change from the same old missions.

i had it offered from a homeguard lvl 4 security agent in lonetrek region.
