Hello ppl and thanks in advance for your time. I was thinking on running the Michi and the Akemon cosmos missions and i need some help in my set up. I can be in those in 2 machariels, do you think it ll be enough tankwise or should i use a mach and a scimitar.

I have read something about fitting an unscanable tengu in order to avoid ninjas, is this still tactic valid and if yes any suggested fitting on the tengu? I m looking for a good guide for that mission but cant find any.

Plz pass any good tips you might have about that mission

Thanks a lot again

I did both of those chains in an unscannable tengu back when they were still, well, unscannable. To answer the first question: Tengu is easily enough for those two.

This site has info on both. It's in German but the pics should be pretty straightforward. Or use Google Translol.

Both of these agents are in High Sec (High sec pocket, but still high sec)

Akemon - Just buy items from the Market and turn in . . . You still need to get to Akemon who is deep in a complex. I do this with a fighting ship (Ishtar/Gila/Domi) and a hauler (Exequror or Itty) to carry the shuttles

Michi - Again - This agent is in high sec, the non-courier missions are in high sec. What are you worried about. Fly it like you would fly any other high sec mission. Just scout the one low sec gate you have to fly though with an alt and you are 100% safe.

There are ppl in that specific high sec system that probe all the time, trying to locate the mission, then warp in and blitz it, and there is chance to lose my loot. In the past ppl were using unscanable tengus to run it safely away from ninja looters, thats why i am asking. Thanks for your answers though

This is the Missions and Complexes forum, we try to be helpful, not use scare tactics to protect your own supply chain.

That behavior is more appropriate in Market D, or General Discussion.

To Dispute your claims . . .

1) Neither Michi or Akemon Missions require you to collect an item from a deadspace mission. Most of the items are available on the contract market. The deadspace encounter missions are "kill only" so if someone scanned you down and completed the mission for you they would just be helping you.

2) Otomainen is NOT full of combat probes. I have run the cosmos mission on 8 alts. I have farmed the complexes and suicide ganked the russian complex farmers. I have seen combat scanners in maybe once in all that time. I have never seen a ninja in a cosmos mission.

I remember completing the Michi mission in a well fit passive drake, was pretty simple if I recall.

As stated above just by the required items from contracts.

To gain standing for the Michi agent i grinded with the Mine Drill corp, was a bit of a chore to grind the standings to the lvl 4 agent from the lvl 2 agent.

Recently I tried the Akemon agent, The second room takes a bit of Dps to kill the spawns fast enough other wise you cant use the gate to the 3rd room where Akemon is. I was using a 600 dps Ishtar with a cargo expander for the Guristas shuttle,

Unfortunately when i finally got to Akemon he wasnt interested in me. I'm pretty sure you need 7+ Ammar Faction standing unmodified from skills, not 7+ Ammar navy standings, so for the meantime no implant for me :[

-edit

As for people jumping into the site you're running, Well if they help kill the spawns quicker fine by me. Just makes sure you've got the items you need, so you don't need to steal a critical mission item from one of their wreaks.

Also these sites don't need to be scanned with probes they're simply just beacons on the overview, people farm them for expensive loot, while in the Minmatar cosmos region there was a lot of competition for expensive loot from containers often 3 assault frigs running around unlocking containers as fast as possible.
