Missions & Complexes

Tbh I found the logi occasionally ended up outside of Faction range, lots of dancing around trying not to die. ECM is dodgy though, was gonna give damps a whirl but not got around to it. Smashing through the reps sounds like it'd take ages but It's worth a crack

The ECM tactic for the Anomic Team missions is very, very inconsistent. I find myself pulling my hair out as a logi I just barely started to bleed into armor get repped to full after my jams wear off, and it takes forever to get them to land again. I have 2 race specific jams fit, and even then the success rate is <50%, and it takes AT LEAST 2 successive cycles to make any real headway on their tank. If they get even 1 cycle to repair, they will pull themselves back to full. I think I'm just going to go back to skipping Burner Missions. More effort than they're worth.

Is there a standard alt ship for dual boxing the base burners? Such as a drone based ship that can kite the burner while the main ship does it's job?

I didn't feel like I needed more tank, just more overwhelming DPS that reduces the need for blingy fits.

Also watch range with an ECM fit. If the logi get focused on repping each other and end up some distance away (returning to spawn point?) you can often take out the team burner before they can get back to him and ignore the logi altogether.

However, that said, I am personally going to swap to a non-ECM rocket fit now that I have better skills for rockets.

I do team burners in Griffin + Worm (to speed things up I have 4 racial fit Griffins)
Anomic agents :
Angel (Dramiel) in Harpy + Worm
Serpentis (Daredevil) in Harpy + Worm
Blood (Cruor) in Wolf + Worm
Sansha (Succubus) in Wolf + Worm
Guristas (Worm) in Daredevil (you need a very fast ship to catch Worm) + Worm

Anomic base against Serpentis I do in Cerberus
Anomic base against Angels I do in Vigilant
and skip the rest.

Just did the Serpentis anomic base with this fit in ~8min

Approach Talos with highest transversal. When at approx 50km set orbit to 20km and launch drones. Full DPS. When armor at ~50% set keep at rang 1km, kill it, loot, approach next talos the same way, etc (don't forget to get drones back in).

Talos will target drones so you won't be disrupted in case you need to warp out quickly (missionning in lowsec for example or you messed up the transversal approach).

You can keep MDW active or not (fit is cap stable) when orbitting, that's your choice. Works both ways.

Cheers !

Very cheap way to beat it the Guristas burner base with a Prophecy, total cost with the fit is around 70-80 mil. Perfect skills with no implants or boosters:

It has no problems tanking but takes a while to kill the Mantis fighters since you can't get in range to web them. Next time I'll probably swap one of the webs for a TP or missile guidance computer with precision script.

Also, don't bother with medium drones - Infiltrator IIs couldn't even hit the dual-webbed Dragonflies (these tend to sometimes pop a drone instantly, so make sure to bring 10-15 Accolyte IIs just in case).

Finally, the NOS is there because I wanted to test if it works on the fighters (as far as I can tell, it doesn't). It may be better to replace it with an auto cannon or something.

As for loot, one of the containers dropped a stack of Guirstas light missiles, so there is probably a chance for something shinier.

I doubt I have even near enough data but I don't think so. I've been running in both minmatar and caldari space for two different factions and corps. Haven't noticed a specfic pattern (that would make sense regarding regional pirate groups). All burner missions are available regardless where and for whom you run though I can't speak towards certain burners being offered more than others. You'd need a data set of 1000s of burner missions to really start seeing patterns.

That was my impression which is why I asked. I built a Gila thinking I would get a reasonable number of Angel Base Burners in Minmatar space but actually very few have dropped at all, it will take a while to pay for itself.

As for the Gila changes I currently fly a variant of the generic passive shield RLML version of the Gila in these forums (cost me about 330 mill ISK to knock up):

4 x RLML

3 x LSE II
2 x EM Ward Amp II
1x Thermic Dissip Amp II

3 x DDA II
1 x Shield Power Relay

3 x Medium Core Defense Field Purger II



... but its actually overtanked and I will have Caldari V soon anyway, so the slot loss and dropping the Shield Power Relay will not effect me that much.

I seem to have plenty of spare CPU with the generic T2 fit so the -20 CPU will not be a big issue.

Most people seem to use a Ballistic Control instead of the Shield Power Relay in which case you would lose maybe 35 to 45 DPS assuming you pack CN Light. Annoying but not a game breaker.

whoo a new one
