Hello everyone,
it sounds really interesting to make one defender account which will clear for me the closes targets:-) (little frigates:-) )

I want to ask how this work? :-D I have 3 accounts :-)

So I just think about something like

do 1 mission solo with my TENGU.
and do another mission in ships with FOF missiles and t1 drones or something like that :-) (simply tough tanks which will shot everything without mine attention:-) )

I am just not sure if it will not shot down my drones from second ship etc :-)

I just dont want to be shot by concord and lost ship because of that :-DDD

I do easy cosmic anomalies in high sec using cyclone armed with auto-targeting missiles. Warp in, get agro, turn on the launchers. Works alright.

You only shoot stuff that agressed you, dont use smartbombs (every ninja would fit a cloaky bomber and get himself hit and you to die via concord) but fofs dont do that. Really shouldnt be any problem at all.

I was burning through lvl 3 missions to get standings for an alt recently and tried something like this. I figured since I needed the alt in space to warp me to the mission anyway, why not put him to use. So I put him in a drake with rapid light launchers and he just kinda followed my Tengu around firing FOFs.

It was decently effective at getting rid of frigs so my higher skilled character could just focus on the bigger ships. Probably not really worth the trouble for lvl 3 missions (esp with main in a tengu) but might be nice if you're doing lvl 4's in a battleship or something. You'd just have to be sure the battleship kept most of the aggro and tank the drake like a brick in case it does get some aggro.

FoF works decent but they are very dumb missiles often attacking structures that look threatening. So if you want to run with just FoF I would suggest getting 3+ ships with them to clear the structures in acceptable speed and even then 2 ships actively piloted would net better income.

There is also new "feature" in 1.1 patch. Launchers with FoF turn off if you have the rat locked which they shoot when it pops. So if you use fof dont lock any targets or you have to keep reactivating them.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

I will see :-D but it will be mainly drone boat with fof missiles :-D (and I believe that if I will let it be and go to another account it the meantime it will be still better than nothing :-D)

But I dont know about ...... "new feature" :-(
