Really is. No other mission has come close to giving me as much trouble as that one.

What ship are you using? and have you read the EVE survival notes for it?

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

Mostly was just venting. I think somewhere I forgot about triggers, and just kind of dazed through the mission, and it got me killed twice. Thank you though. :)

Ah yeah, think I Lost my first Maelstrom to the triggers in there, a few years ago.

Attack of the Drones... isn't that the one where you have to kill like 3 cruisers and 2 battleships to finish it?

Yes, and also the one where if you kill the first spawn (which each triggers a group) will put quite a bit of DPS onto your vessel :)

Another big dps one is downing the slavers part two.

If you don't fit mission specific and have a tank that is for 50% based around speed, you're fu cked :p.

But once you kill a teeny bit of the inital dps, very manageable.

Another easy mission. You only have to kill 2 rats. What's the issue there?Roll

I did that once. Got all the other spawns going at once. Got my Navy Domi out with 10% hull left.

I used to love that mission, about 7 minutes to complete and 20mil in rare ores for loot. Nowadays I just blitz it and move on.

I warped in launched gardes and they killed all the triggers first thing.... ah well mjd and launch curators and afk!

although if I were to do it actively I'd just take the blitz

Why do you need to MJD out? Just pop both slavers where you are and be done with it.P
