How would you run this combination? If i remember right there are 4 respawn chains and all of battleships kite you on 40-45km. Maybe if you warp into center of the zone they will spawn close so you can blow them before they get range. But i'm not sure.

Any info?
Thanks

I know there will be some who will say this is NOT the way to do this, but just yesterday I had a similar situation in my Kronos, and I eventually ran back to the station, and refitted rails instead of my blasters, and went back with tech II drones and ate up the stubborn rats who didn't want to play within my falloff range. Also fitted a drone damage module to increase their damage output in a low slot.

Bring a mobile depot and your rails in your cargohold for situations like those.

I haven't dropped the mobile depot in a mission room yet. I thought I heard rats shoot the things. Maybe I heard wrong.

Only sentry turrets do as far as i know.

Ah thanks, I'll be sure to test this out later today when I'm able to play next.

Or you could fit a couple of tracking computers with range scripts, its what I use and have no issue reaching out to 68km, granted you are not applying maximum dps but you are still putting out a significant amount of raw dps to take out the target in a reasonable amount of time. I've even popped Frigates out to 75km fairly reliably. At least this has been my experience in a Blaster Kronos w/Bastion module. Still the closer the better dps wise.

Caution, rubber gloves and faceshield required when handling this equipment.

Cap stable with the prop mods and salvagers off. DPS is the tank 1 cycle of bastion will top the tank up (Tanks more than 800 dps against Kin/threm while in bastion), I've never had to bastion more than once in Gone Berserk (bastion mod set to "repeat off" lol). With my skills and proper +5% hardwirings for guns and cap I get 1440 dps (with hammerheads) using CN Antimatter.

The key is the MJD, 1st spawn is like 80km from warp in so i MJD past them, turn around and MWD for a few second to get close and start blapping, the rest of the time I pulse to MWD to get close to new spawns. Don't do a "Jennaside" and forget to turn the damn MWD off lol.

To recap, one MJD, maybe one use of Bastion to top up armor,, blap blap blap profit, mobile tractor for loot and salvage like a pure beast :) .

I seem to recall seeing in the patch notes recently that they fixed that. I run enemies abound frequently and have yet to loose either a depot or MTU (two missions having sentry guns).

once you kill the first triggers most spawns are fairly close, that said I'm not sure it is quite blaster range. I'll just say I love tachyons.

Kill right spawn lock the 2 spawning cruisers
Kill left spawn lock the 2 spawning cruiser
Kill first 2 locked cruisers lock spawning bs
Kill second 2 locked cruiser
Kill locked BS lock highest bounty bs
kill that one lock final spawn
kill that one. Mission done. Takes like 5-10 mins to finish.
Profit!

Never ever shoot the middle spawn. You don't have to kill them and they spawn frigs.

i did it this way: MJD into group 80km away. bastion and kill-kill-kill.....

Never needed to move, all of NPC spawns <20km away and they die fast with 2xTC2 (optimal), 2xTE and VOID L.

Not everyone blitzes missions for LP, you can do this mission really fast if you're in a powerful ship and it gives nice bounties.

You mwd up to the station, deploy sentry's drones and kill everything with rails(takes like 7 minutes to get everything killed and looted). Or at least that is how I did it before rubicon, where I put her out of her misery and given her the final rest in my Hangar after 6 years of service.

With my mach and navy apoc I simply burn 2 mwd cycles further, a bit behind the station and take cruiser that spawns the frig wave first(it is always the one that is at the highest distance to you at this point), one shoot kill the frigs from 30km away and move back to a position to the centre, where the new waves are 20-30km out, what produces optimal results if you use garde II drones.

You can kill them with null while in bastion mode, but it's probably more efficient to drop out of bastion mode and chase them with mwd and higher damage ammo.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
