Missions & Complexes

Confirming it is random.

Just did Archive room, all 4 hacks at the begining done in first try and no sentry spawn.

Week ago I did the same in 2 sites and sentryes spawned.


Also if you cant rep yourself from first waves and sentryes, use one rejuveation unit hack.

That thing does insane reps for 60 seconds.

You failed first time that remote defense grid, sentryes spawned after 40 seconds?

In the meantime you hacked the grid but that dont deactivate new sentry spawn.

That would be my guess.

Yes it can be done in Astero if you are willing to risk remote defense grid hack in Mines room because if you fail that one you will lose it on sight.

Archive room can probably be done in Astero regardless the sentry spawn, speed tank them and I am sure they wont be able to hit
you if you succesfully hacked their targeting system before touching other stuff.

Why I think that, because I did 30+ these sites on live server and I can see possibility for an Astero in the Archive, just didnt tryed the site completely with frigate.

Only one thing is left to figure out.

How much fluids and other material needs to be put in order to make all reajuveation vessel units workable.

When you use fluids and not those gears and patches, only one vessel repped me for 60 seconds.
I hacked second one to test if it have some connection with gears and patches and it didnt repped me.
Connection there, maybe.

Placing only 3 or 4 fluids and nothing else will make workers to eject cans and reajuveation vessel units and sometimes even
completely functional sentry guardian not affected by your succesfull hack on sentry targeting system.

With AB Astero you can I am sure get all the good stuff out of the Archive before double waves start coming, no need to mention
colosal ones against a frigate.

Speed tank and atleast use one repp for 60 seconds if things become suicidal.
And as much data coherence you can get is recommended.

Also for those who do Sentry on Duty room first, dont.
Do Solar room even if you spawn first in Sentry room, use that solar ray aligment so that rift for Archive later in Sentry room
can be created without help of blowing off plasma chambers


If I figure out how to set up this new access on test server I will test it, and make a video.


Sorry for spelling mistakes if any.

How many EHP should we have to tank the colossal wave ? My tengu is 60k EHP with some rep (375 EHP/sec)

Got one to 97.2%

That's the only one I've ever found and couldn't get it.

You need I believe 107 Base Sensor Strength of your probes to be able to scan it down to 100%.

1. Never failed that hack while runing the site in Astero so I cant answer that but now that I run it in Proteus with less virus coherence there is a chance that I will fail at some point but probably with Stratios you can destroy them all with few warpouts then coming back.


2. I was using 76k EHP Gnosis just for that room so I would not bother coming and risking a ship if you dont have atleast 70k EHP. Dont know exact numbers but just to be safe than sorry.


3. My guess is no, it would not affect a jettisoned cargo, if you talk about archive room.

Ad a) hack defense unit after then sentries are spawned. If you hack before it won't work. It will randomly happen after you start to hack siloses.
Ad b) correct

My tactics for rejuvenation unit would be - start to hack it, find system core, wait till timer for wave goes off and then hack system core. It only one time use.

You will need cargo scanner there to save time.

Also mine room can still be possible if they weren't triggerd from jumping to the room (i read somewhere that could happen). I never did that part but I suppose they have some proximity range sensor to go boom.

I was incredibly lucky yesterday - another superior site.

This time no fancy polarized torp launchers, but still 86 million in blue loot and skillbooks and the storyline crap I've got is actually worth building.

Since the loot was good, I thought I do the archive room and if worst things happen I will come out even losing my Astero but with the loot safely tucked away.

Site did not despawn after depositing the valuables, so I entered the archive room and started hacking at the chamber maintenance cans. I did hack the defence thing too, the chat message said that the sentries will have hard time hitting me.

Unfortunately I failed the hack and got shot by the two sentries that spawned. That threw my 6,9kEHP ship with 60%omni resists to about 40% hull. I bailed as there was no way I could survive another wolley.

I tend to think that the archive is not doable with Astero but I will try again if I get the chance as I screwed the hack this time.

But I have my doubts about the shockwaves, they will probably be too much to handle for frigate.

Astero can complete full Standard so Stratios can handle it easily, just follow the steps in the thread and avoid the cloud when

exterminators spawn and you will be fine.

As for Superior and the loot from only 2 rooms, it depends on loot fairy but you can get out with 100+ mill minimum.

Once I made it out with 86 million in blue loot + assortment of BPC's

First time I found it, I had around 60 million in blue loot, but around 300 million in the BPC stuff as the stuff was actually marketable.

As with any other site you have to have luck when you have luck :)
