Missions & Complexes

Well, I haven't done any Burner missions so I can't give any advice on ship fits or tactics. However that guide you linked by Anize Oramara seems to be short, sweet and to the point.

Seems that came from her thread 'Blitz and Burner Guide v1.2.1' which also has a link to 'Burner Mission - Ship advice to solo them including fittings' written by Jori McKie.

I believe those threads have all the info needed to run Burner missions. Usually authors of guide threads like those will edit and update the original post with all the necessary info so there's really no need to read the entire thread.

As for setting up an inexpensive fit to run Burner missions, I don't think that's doable. I remember CCP saying something about needing Bling fit ships and good skills to run Burner missions.

Other than that, good luck to you.

you can, or at least could, do team burners in a kestrel with jammers. keep jamming one logi until is decides to move away. sometimes you need 2-3 successful jams in a row for it to flee. this gives you extra time to kill the other logi, as they cant rep from far away. kill logis this way, then the main.
it is painfully slow, but it is cheap.

Easiest way to do team burners is to use Kitsune + Garmour (or Worm).

Need CPU implant

Using 2 ships you don't need expensive fits.

Easiest way to do anomic agents are:
guristas: dramiel + worm or any damage dealing frig
blood: 2 wolfs or 1 wolf + worm or 2 jaguars
angel: 2 harpy, harpy + worm, harpy + daredevil, 2 enyos
sasha: 2 wolfs, 2 cruours, wolf + worm, 2 worms
serpentis: harpy + worm, 2 harpys.

you can make fits that are significantly cheaper if you use a set of genoloution implants. A lot of the cost for those burner fits is because of tight fitting requirements. I have dropped a TON of bling mods out of some burner fits with genos (and then chose a cpu or pg implant for 6th slot, i chose cpu).

Allows me to t2 most things.

I'll share one fit for burners that i 100% made myself, and have not seen anywhere else. I dont share often... so this is it. Get ready to have your mind blown.

if you drop the salvager, you wont need genos or a 3% PG implant to fit it.

The only advice you really need is ... go in with the EM hardener on, and the heat primed for the explosive hard, but the hardener OFF. Enter site, approach hauler, AB on (leave it on till the third burner is dead). as soon as you take shield damage, turn ON the heated explosive hardener, and the repper. If your skills are crap, repper may need heat (i dont). Once the FIRST burner is dead, you can shut the heat off on the explo hardener, and kill them as you please.

The whole fit is cheaper than the pirate cruiser hulls most people do this mission in.

oh, and DEFENSE MODE .. god, NEVER forget to put that thing in defense mode! DEFENSE MODE. name the ship defense mode if you have to.

OK, that's my mighty contribution to EVE. now everyone will use this thing.

Less than 15 minutes i think. That's with traveling back to wrecks to check for loot. If i didnt do that, probably just a few.. 4 or 5 tops. It uses typically 6 cap charges (i pulse with the repper once there's 2 burners left), which is about 2 minutes, then the burn time to the hauler, usually 40km @ 600ms. 45 seconds to kill that.

I'll check the videos I made (haven't uploaded them yet, should probably get around to that now that I have fiber) but I'm pretty sure a Pure T2 fit Vigilant can do it faster. I'll post this afternoon with the video.

For me it's not a comparison against the Vigilant, it's an alternative to the smartbomb approach.

The hecate fit was actually based starting off the tank of the smartbomb fit, indeed!

The vigilant was just way to paper thin for my taste, and lookin at the burners killing them on zkill made me not even want to try it. Watching the video, i can see it does kill the burners damn fast... its 550 dps vs the 300 dps on the hecate makes a huge difference, but not that much in my actual flying expereince with it (maybe because i have lvl 5 everything, and a 3% rof hardwire). I kill a burner about every 30-45 seconds or so--because i use about 5 cap charges, and it takes 30 seconds or so to do each one of those.

If you can afford a vigi fit to do it, no reason not to--but i made mine because i didnt want to fly something so dang expensive. I also like to loot, so, refitting for mwd to get to the wrecks on the vigilant wasnt an option for me. I have picked up 225m out of those wrecks in one go-around, i'm not about to pass that up ;)

Vigilant is best, hecate second i think, and then the smart bomb HAC fit to round it all out.

cheapness of Hecate is really the only thing it has going.

Well, what i see in my fit is 198m cost, and 429 for yours. at that rate i have to do the thing 10 times to even pay off the fit and hull for a vigi one, vs about 4 in mine. the OP asked for cheap ;)

The vigi is the better ship, but it costs a ton.

Yea the Vigilant does the mission in 8min from accepting to turning it in.
