So I managed to cross the lowsec system to get to Otomainen, I've got 2x Jakon's head... and now I realize that I can't refit my drake in the system (so I've got a useless EM hardener, cloaking device, and 2x warpcore stabs which I've offlined.
It can't seem to tank the complex, and when I get to the last mission, I'll need 500 m3 to carry and turn in the shuttle (so I'll need to refit some cargohold expanders).

Does anyone have a fit that they recommend to solo this plex?
Should I come back in a battleship, what would you recommend? a Rohk, a Dominix? (shield or armor?considering I can't use tech II armor hardeners)
I'm pretty sure I could come in with my mach or Rattlesnake with CN/ctype invulns and pwn the plex... but there's no way I'm going to risk taking those through low sec

Would anyone be willing to fleet with me and help finish the plex?
Anyone have an orca in system that I could use to refit?

I mainly want to do this mission for the Smokescreen cloak, so the 500m3 limit isn't so important, but that final implant sells for a lot...

Yes, I know, the answer to pretty much any PvE question is "Tengu" if one has the SP and ISK for a Tengu.
I do not.
I don't have the SP for T2 ships above frigate size. I don't want to risk my faction BS going through lowsec.

Therefore, I am looking for help and/or standard T1 ship hulls + fits that can do this plex.

There's a connection here.

In case you can't figure it out yourself: If every low-SP nublet were able to run those missions the imp wouldn't be so expensive. TLDR: you're just gonna have to wait until you can fly something like, uhm,... a Tengu.

Or get help...which is exactly what you are trying to do!! Try looking at joining a corp, there are plenty out there who like missioning. They would be happy to help you.

Go back through that one low sec system, dock and refit your drake, go back to the dead end Otomainen and run that plex. Don't be so paranoid about low sec. Oh and the plex is super easy tbh... Tengu or Ishtar on cruise control...

Btw, do you even have the required faction standing to attempt that mission?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Titans on fire outside "The Alamo" of NOL-M9. I watched massive Super Capital fleets glitter in the dark near the BKG-Q2 gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...  Time to die.

Well, that is what I ended up doing - By the way, before I passed through it the first time, I used a cloaky alt to scout, and found about 5-10 Russians camping the gate, hence my reluctance, but i managed without incident...

It seems the 2nd room is the hardest, as the room with Akemon Tolan was easy, either that or I don't know how to avoid the aggro triggers for the 2nd room.

As far as Faction standing... I didn't realize I needed it. I have Imperial navy standing >7.5, but not the faction.

The agent tells me "I have no missions available at this time", which isn't the same message that other agents give when you don't have the required standing (they have messages like "begone scum" or "I only work with people I can trust"), its the message you get from Epic Arc Agents if you already started an epic arc within the last 6 months.

Has statements like:
Quote:
Akemon requires 7.5 Amarr Navy standings, unmodified. Your faction standings do not matter.


Quote:
No, just did this mission chain a couple of weeks ago and neither of these two conditions were fulfilled. ... As Akemon Tolan used to have quality 20 you properly need at least 7.00 in Amarr faction or Imperial Navy standing before he will give you a mission.


Others did make a mention of the need for faction standings, and others had the faction, but still couldn't access the mission.

How much can datacenter agents raise faction standing?
