i was doing lvl 2's and i came across the Recon 1 of 3 mission against Guristas (need to get my standing with caldari up a bit). i have a Hurricane with T2 anti kin and anti thermic resistence (armor) and 2 armor repairers II. also i got a Damage control fitted and an afterburner.
for guns i got 6x 450mm autocannon (range 3-10km) or 6x 650mm arty (range 5-20km) with faction ammo (Republic fleet Phased Plasma M). also i got T2 hornets for most damage vs guristas.
the whole fit is capstable.

but here is the big deal. instead of apprearing wave by wave it all spawned at once, which was odd in the first place. secondly, i cant break the tank of any of the cruiser or the battlecruisers... after 3 minutes i only had the frigates down (which was quite easy) but none of the cruisers or battlecruisers.

any idea's how to beat this mission? its a lvl 2 0.o i normally run those in a Rupture..

Burn to gate and warp to blitz it. You don't have to kill rats.

There are elite cruisers in there. If you fit less than 3 dmg mods like most noobs (no offense), you won't break them in a cane.

Eh not true I do it in an arbitrator, its not that bad main thing is keeping distance and speed and if I have time I kill everything. Every once in a while I screw up and have to run out. Of course with the right hardners below not the once I have listed...you need 2 kin and a thermal.

If you doing missions to get standings gain, just blitz them, the mission guides will tell you how to do it. Recon I do in a merlin with a mwd and no guns. works all the way up to lvl 4, except for 3/3. In a lvl4 I found I needed a little bit more buffer and tank so switch to a cruiser with a mwd..

Look up all missions before you do them the first time on http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage

I've done that mission a few times except I was on the Angels version. Tough rats on that on that one with a fleet with many Battleships in the third part. Can't remember the exact way to do it but basically you use a fast ship like a shuttle or a Probe etc and just fly through as quick as possible to achieve the mission objectives. You don't fight any rats.

Cleared this using a Vexor. The trick was to get the webbing frigs so I could kite the larger boats while the Hammerhead IIs did their job.

Using drones was also beneficial since they sensor damp you to ~1/4 your original range. Once I had aggro the drones just kept going.

Edit: yes I understand you burn to the gate, but the point is that the ships are manageable.
