Well... You could take the time to kill everything, or take 5 minutes for 5 million bounty + implant + 3-4 mil in rewards + LP.

The more time you spend on it, the less ISK per hour, if that's your thing. I normally don't care much about ISK per hour, but making that much for a five minute run is too good to pass up.




Hmmm I find looting much more satisfying... except from the obvious salvage and normal L4 drops u suddenly get 6-7 million meta 4 launcher or 2 million Laser gun and such stuff... it's add up.
also each of those ships is somewhere between 200k to 1.2 mil bounty... so yes I can farm the LP quickly like some bot but if I were doing money farming in first place I'll just get ISOBOX setup of orca with 5 hulks and farm asteroids :x what's the fun in that.



To each their own. While I often find some pleasure in relaxedly clearing out red-crosses, there is a also certain satisfaction in finishing a mission in the most efficient way possible... Now, if I'm doing it for fun, rather than for profit, I downship... Use a AF.

Let her run. :) Play with your food a little, it's good for the soul. Torment those who would stand against you, even if they're just red crosses. In the end you save her for last, wait for her to hide in a corner, and then mercilessly destroy her.

It's as things should be. Enjoy it. Twisted

Edit: the only "isk/hour" that matters is how much real money you can make on one screen while playing EveO on another. Nothing else matters.

ya ya... working toward that. I'm filling holes in my skill **** once I get proper weapon\armor\nav skills I'll max frigates and get one of those kick ass hulls...

I kill her before the final room using an RNI. She always drops a charisma implant.

She is weakest against EM, so switch missiles if you're having trouble with her.

You can alpha her in the second pocket, it leaves an empty wreck and no implant drop.

The mission does not complete and she will still spawn in the third room. If you alpha her there the mission completes and you get the +3 implant.

Did this last week twice, if its a bug its a consistent one.

In Pocket 3, with very high dps you can actually kill her before she warps off. If you manage to do so, mission will be cleared and an social implant will drop in a can right next to scarlet's wreck.

you will likely need a sensor booster with a scan resolution script for this as you need to lock the ***** as soon as you land.


Can be done without a SeBo in a Kronos with Rails. I expect all Marauders except Golem (because of travel time of missiles) to be capable to do so aswell.

Can be done in a 2x TP 2x Rigor II Cruise Golem easily. Until I got the hull though, the other missile hulls I tried couldn't do it.

I've not had any issues in a Navy Domi or my maurader catching her for that social implant.

Tengu can get implant in pocket 3. SNI can get implant in pocket 3 with sensor booster. My mission alt uses a Tornado to pop Anire Scarlet in pocket 2(5mil) and pocket 3(5mil+implant). Pocket 4 will not contain Scarlet after mission completion in pocket 3.

Alpha with Republic Fleet EMP is just over 10k with a mix of level 4 and 5 skills. Alpha with normal EMP, just under 9k, will graze too low with current skills once in awhile.

Tornado Scarlet
Gyrostabilizer II x2
Power Diagnostic System II (can swap to another gyro)
Damage Control II
10MN Afterburner II
Tracking Computer II,Optimal Range Script x2
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Medium C5-L Emergency Shield Overload I
1400mm 'Scout' Artillery I x 8 RF EMP
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing I x2
Medium Ancillary Current Router I

Gate Permit needed in cargo from previous run.

Be quick about picking up implant or bookmark for later. Sitting too long in one place is risky.

Thanks for the added responses.

I've taken to refitting my Raven for the rats in each room.

Although it does take more time, I'm able to tank the various rats in each room.

I just need to remember to bookmark the acceleration gate when I warp out to refit, then I can warp back in with a warp disrupter and take my time killing Scarlet.

Noting that I kill her every time in my Golem using Mjolnir Fury and dual painters.

Yeah, no luck on getting a third 5 million bounty so far. I'll keep checking the 4th room though because I'm at the gate for the implant so why not. It could be a bug thing. Room 2 can be a little buggy. Sometimes you don't get a wreck but you get the bounty. You blap scarlet, bounty function records kill, and wreck creation function thinks she escaped so no wreck.

Maybe if you kill her just slow enough from entry in room 3, then you can get the room 4 spawn. I'll try to split the guns to stretch the kill out a little and take my time targeting. It would be cool to get a third 5 million.

Can confirm, though it's impossible for a Golem to kill her in pocket 2, you can at least get her in pocket 3.

Typhoon with Fury Cruise, scripted sensor booster and 4 Garde II gets her 9 out of 10 times. Drop the drones as soon as you come out of warp, sebo can run all the time.

Edit : I have dual painters as well

Hey all,

I've done a few of the Dread Pirate Scarlet missions now and I've never been able to kill Scarlet before she jumps through the acceleration gate.

Is it possible to get this annoying rat before they jump?

Do I need to bump her off the gate before she warps or is there some other trick I can use?

Thanks in advance.


Did that mission yesterday for the first time. I was able to destroy her ship before she jumped to the last room (Hybrid rails ship)
