Missions & Complexes

I have had this mission 3 times so far. Each time I have managed to pop the named rat before she enters the final room. Each time she dropped a can with a +3 implant.

Does this implant drop each time she is killed or just because I have killed her before she warped to the final room?

( do I get a +4 if I can pop her in the 1st room? )

Thanks

I spent the last week farming this mission. I didn't take comprehensive notes as I was spending most of the time watching the baseball playoffs. Anyway, here's my impression:
I used a Scorpion Navy Issue and overtanked it with Mag and Heat amps and an invul. Even when aggroing entire rooms I don't think my shields went to below about 98% (95 if I didn't circle the gate). My first time through I bookmarked each room. Doing that allowed my combat ship and Noctis to go directly to any room I wanted once I made it through room one each day. As I was farming and not always available to play, I just did whatever rooms I could kill and salvage and then came back later in the day to kill/salvage more. As long as you leave Scarlet alive, the mission will spawn again on the daily reset.
Each day, I got between 30-35M ISK in bounties (I only got to get the 5M bounty on Scarlet on the last day). Salvage was okay, depending on what spawns I got, and loot was poor (since I was letting Scarlet live, I didn't see the implant drop. With Scarlet still alive I couldn't salvage the last room. Even with a tank-fitted Noctis, I was getting hammered pretty hard by her. If I was bored, I could come back with SNI salvage fit, but it wasn't worth the effort. Heck, not looting or salvaging at all doesn't really affect ISK% that much in this one.
I found that if I went through all the rooms, then came back around once, I was able to clear all the spawns for my Noctis. For me, either room one or two would have a delayed spawn. The third always had a delayed one. The last room had many spawns, but I didn't see any of them delayed.
If you farm and bookmark like I did, if you do run into a delayed spawn with your salvager, just swap ships, go directly to the toom to kill it, and salavage again. Note that you do not have to use the gates...just go directly to your bookmark.
I experienced Bloods, Gurista/Serps, and Angels. So I just kept a few thousand of each missile type in the hold and swapped out as needed. As there just aren't that many frigates, I just kept hobs/hammers in the drone bay rather than worrying about Warriors for the Angels.
In the end, a great mission to farm it a heavy tanked missile ship while cooking dinner, watching TV, working on a spreadsheet, or whatever. One week, about 250M in bounties, loot, & salvage.

just got this mish and im wondering if its possible to do it in a Gila ... i have finished most level 4s using my trusty Ogre IIs but dont want to commit if my lovely cruiser is gona get WTFPWND. Im training Domi skills atm but dont have any armour tank skills yet so stuck with only a Gila as a mission ship.


Thanks for any help

Ran this yesterday. Had to warpout midway due to having the wrong tank setup to handle Blooders. Came back and the Blooders were gone in the second room and replaced with Guristas.

Interesting mission, bit of a ***** if you're a newer player but otherwise it's definately one of the more challenging L4's.

I've gotten this twice, and the difference between the two has been interesting. It does take a strong omnitank and multiple ammo types in general:

First time, did it in a Loki, which tanked with ease but took some time in the last room. Faced angels at the opening gate, Bloods in the first room, Serpentis in the second and Angels, Serpentis and Blood spawns in the last room. If make any move on Scarlett in the first room, she insta-warps. Never tried to target her in the second. After she falls in the final room, the mission is done but there seems to be 3-4 battleship spawns and you can collect bounties on those. There is also a spawn in the second room.

Second time, took my Vargur. Serpentis at the gate, then Bloods, then Serpentis, then Guristas and Serpentis in the final room. Got ultra-jammed by two Nullifiers and actually had to warp out to touch out my armor. When I returned to the first gate, there was a new Angel spawn! That was interesting, but I don't know if my return triggered it or if it is timed.

Can confirm that Scarlett's station drops nothing and takes a LOT of ammo.

I actually switched from my Domi to my Gila for this. it is easier to omni tank a shield tank. Of the top of my head I had a passive omni tank of just over 400. I had no problems. I did miss my 2x omni's in the mids, didn't realise just how big a difference they made.

I have had this mission several times from a L4 security agent in Aphend.

Is it even doable in a laser boat? Bad memories of sitting in Angel Extravaganza for hours, slowly chipping away their health...

Thanks a lot for info about amarr space. Seems like I just got unlucky :/

Not sure if someone said this but it is possible to kill the trigger ship in the third pocket, and if you can I suggest doing so as she drops a decent implant if you kill her then.

Also this is an easy mission to farm isk because of the respawns in some spots. Although bringing friends along can make it tougher due to possibility of spawning more ships.
