So I was doing a Caldari COSMOS mission in Otomainen and suddenly 5 guys are next to me blowing stuff up and I get a message telling me that they are going to steal the item I need to complete my mission. With 5 of them they did manage to loot the mission item before me. I need this item to continue my mission chain. The lowest price is 500 million in contracts for the item so I don't really want to have to buy it.

Is there anyway I could reset my mission or something? Someone suggested I wait till downtime and do the mission again but someone else told me that I couldn't get the item again. Are there missions that won't reset on downtime if someone steals your item? What can I do about this? The mission is Lost love - Wei Todaki

Princess someone stole your item i assume?

Anyhow wait for downtime, if it doesn't respawn file a petition and state in a very nice and polite manner that your mission didn't respawn at downtime.

Meaning if you wait till the next day and warp to the location and nothing is there it hasn't respawned.


So you'd say something like:

Hello,

Yesterday 12/27/2013 I did not complete my mission. When I warp there today nothing is present. Could you please reset it for me please?

Thank you.


If it doesn't work you are out of luck. Last I checked they were in 100k ehp ships in newbie corps making any sort of defense impossible.

Oh and don't talk to / argue with them in local, it won't help and if you say something while riled up it could have negative consequences.

yes it was that Princess Achaja person. I see now he hangs out in Otomainen everyday waiting for people to do the mission so he can steal it with his friends.


thanks for the suggestion.

If you don't want to go after him yourself, hire someone like Noir. to b!tchslap him and his alts a few dozen times. Twisted

Its a nice thought but I don't know how they would do that seeing that his ever-present spy is in an npc corp. : /

They only go suspect AFTER stealing the item. So if they align out then steal it, which they do, you can't do crap.

Doesn't seem like there is a defense then? Unless you bring alts alpha and get concorded.

There really isn't a defense. You'd have to suicide gank dominixes / gilas.

Due to the length of the mission being probed out is a near certainty. A hard to probe tengu would have to be there for over an hour making it almost certain to be probed out in that time.

Don't do the mission with combat probes on d-scan

And the guy who stole your mission loot is prolly the same guy (via alt) selling it for 500mil.

you need to keep scanning for probes and warp out if you see any.

Bummer.

That mission objective is in the 2nd part of Zabonn Michi's 3 part mission series which is also used in part 3. The rewards for completing that series is 1x Improved 'Guise' Cloaking Device I, 1x Hardwiring Implant - Michi's Excavation Augmentor, a large Faction standing increase and some ISK.

I think when the NPC Wei Todaki's ship is destroyed the mission is flagged as completed. I don't remember exactly. Since the mission location is not in a static DED Cosmos Complex best check your Mission Journal and see if it shows 'Objective Completed'.

If it doesn't show that, then the mission site will respawn after DT. A couple of friends fleeted will help complete the multi-room location quickly, hopefully before any mission invasion happens again.

Now if it does show as completed, hopefully a GM will reset the mission (50/50 chance) and you'll once again have to take a chance with the mission invasion.

Last and probably the best, albeit expensive but certainly the safest, is to just buy the mission objective from contracts and be done with it.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions.

A GM did reset the mission for me and I waited for princess to go to sleep and did it at 4 am. His alt however, was in the system full time so I could not let up on mashing my d-scanner every second. I took me several hours longer than it should have, having to warp out several times because of the frequent combat probes on D-scan, but finally manage to get my Wei.


I expect to be spamming d-scan in low and null but to have to do it in high-sec as well to keep people from being able to **** with you and having to warp and wait every time you see combat probes for, what could be hours, seems kind of ridiculous.

Gratz for completing that while mission invaders were trying to probe you down.

Enjoy your rewards, you definitely earned them.

It's a high security system, it's not total safety. People can **** with you in hi-sec, just as they can in low-sec, and when there is a reward of +1B you better expect people to do so.

You can just open a ticket and a GM will restart that mission for you. Taking mission specific objects is considered griefing. Taking mission loot is considered good times.
