I have been probe scanning the whole Aokinen constellation 3 times now, and no sign of the Prison? I'm using a Sisters core probe Launcher with 8 sisters core probes, level 3 Astrometics. I scanned down all available cosmic signatures in all systems, and all i got was warzone's, wormholes, relic sites and data sites.

Am i doing something wrong?

Mission 14

Title: The Breakout
Agent: Sinas Egassuo
Location: Caldari Navy Relay Nexus (Beacon) Astoh (System)
Reward: 20,000,000 + 1,570,000 (Bonus if completed in 6H)
Enemy: Gallente Federation
Further Info:
You need to have a Data Analyzer equiped and the Hacking skill at Level 3 or greater to complete this mission (Hacking 2 and 2 rigs worked)
You need to scan down the "Federation Detention Facility" Cosmic Signature for this mission
The mission states that this site is somewhere within the Aokinen constellation - I believe that there is one of these sites in every system in this constellation, as I have always found it in the Astoh system where this mission is accepted
Warp to the Detention Facility. The gate is not locked as long as you have the Federation Navy FOF in your cargo so all you need to do is approach and use it.
Once in the second room, approach any detention facility and hack it. Once it has been successfully hacked, grab the prisoner and return to the agent.
For those wishing to kill the NPCs, the first room contains 17 Frigs, 4 Cruisers and 7 BS
Second room contains 8 Frigs
Blitz: buy the Caldari Prisoners of War on contracts. <--- Save yourself the aggravation if the prices are not too high.

Actually, i just did that. I found the prisoners for 250k isk. But my intention was to complete the missions for fun. But there's no fun in wasting so much time, without any progress... So i thought i was doing something wrong? Because, why would they make a mission so boring?

When you accept the mission offer, that signature will spawn in all systems located within that constellation. Other explorers will see it and more than likely complete it before you even start probing.

Best thing to do is check Star Map and go to a system with low amount of population, low amount of jumps, low amount of NPC kills, etc.

Another option is to be prepared to do probing right after downtime, mission site will respawn and you can then find and complete it before anyone else does.

Good luck on the Epic Arc.

I use Mission Reports for guide and also update them when I run the arcs. Last time I ran them I was in contact with another player who was also editing / updating the mission reports. What's written here is pretty much a combination of our experience with that mission :

Quote:
Penumbra, Caldari Level 4 Epic Arc
Chapter 2: Blackness Rising

Mission 10 - The Breakout

Faction: Gallente Navy
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: Therm/Kin
Web/Scramble: N/A
Recommended damage dealing: Therm (best), Kin (secondary)
Items Needed: Probe Launcher & Core Probes (Scanning), Data Analyzer (Hacking), FOF FedNav Identifier Tag (Gained from Agent). Items not needed if you buy the mission item off the market/contracts

Note - Mission site (Federation Detention Facility) is a Cosmic Signature (Combat Site) which must be probed to 100% first before warping to it. The site will spawn in each system within the Constellation when mission is accepted and will respawn if someone else completes it.

Blitz : Buy the Caldari Navy prisioner on Contracts or market and complete the mission. No need to search/probe, hack, or fight anything.

Mission Site = Two Pockets

First Pocket
1x Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate (95km)

No NPC's most of the time

Sometimes it ends up with:
Group 1:
6x Frigate (Federation Praktor Phalarica/Machina/Harpgo)
2x Destroyer (Federation Belos)
3x Elite Frigate (Elite Federation Lochos/Libertus)Scram

Group 2:
6x Elite Frigates (Elite Federation Phalarica/Machina)
3x Elite Cruiser (Elite Fedeartion Arx)damping

Group 3:
7x Battleships (Federation Praktor Magister/Navis Praetoria/Polemo/Hexeris)Navis damps

In the case of these spawns, a cloaky is best used to just fly past them to the gate. The tag does not prevent them from attacking.


Second Pocket

Initial Group (25km)
8x Gallente Warden Frigate (Federation Clavis, Hastile)

Structures (Hack with Data Analyzer) :
8x Federation Dention Facility - each contains 1x Caldari Prisoner Of War (Mission Objective)

Note - The Gallente Warden Frigates will not attack if the FOF FedNav Identifier Tag (Gained from Agent) is in your cargohold (There is a bug where they will still shoot you but they hit for 1 damage). After successfully hacking a Detention Facility to save a prisoner, a short self-destruct timer will start. You may be able to hack another one before the Detention Facility self-destructs but only 1x Caldari Prisoner Of War is needed to complete the mission.

The Detention Facility structures will have a white container to Hack. If no Detention Facility structures are present or you see 8x blue containers, then that site has been completed by another player. Instead of waiting for respawn, just look for the site in another system.
