Missions & Complexes

They're challenging, but not impossible. There are a few Burner-based threads in this forum that detail the various fits and tactics quite extensively. You can't utilize any T3 or Command ships, however.

Expect to be webbed, scrammed and/or neuted (not necessarily in that order). Most of the Burner missions require one of a handful of specific fits to complete. There are a few that can be done with some universal fits (Garmur, Daredevil), but some are very ship specific.

Standard Burner missions have you face off against a sole opposing frigate; Team Burners add a pair of logi frigates. Base Burners are the most unique and varied but you can bring cruisers and battlecruisers into theses. The Guristas Base isn't currently worth pursuing, just FYI.

Most Burner and Team Burner fits are going to run you upwards of 100m ISK (several hundred million ISK for Base Burners). They do pay for themselves relatively quickly, and there's an excellent blitzing/Burner guide.

lol

still doin this at first!!!


normally you got no chance to warp out,cause you will be scrambled except team burners. read the guides and be carefull. one mistake in fit or flying can be a big loss. the recommended fits with its cost are not postet as a joke.

I've seen few records of burner mission and it seems to me, that this fit could work:
[Incursus, burner mission]


And against which burner?
Gurista - you will never catch him (3,6km/s mwd, kites at 38k).
Sansha - you will never catch him (3km/s ab, kites at 15k, webs).
Blood - you will be neuted in 20s (neut range 10k).
Serpentis - you will never catch him (kites at 11k with daredevil web).
Angel - you wont be able to track him (orbits at 600m with 10 or so sig radius, he is faster than you, so no "keep at range").


the essential is in the last part. guy was trying in a cheap incursus fit, thats only against burners except teamburnerts and base burners.
burners are cheated by design from ccp by design. so get aware to get some unique fits,.

I have heard people talk about earning a lot of isk from them... I am not so sure about that myself as I have lost plenty of ships with various fits.

From Jori's post it would seem that Amarr ships don't work very well for them, so I generally don't do them as that is what I am specilized in.

Also most ships only work for one specific burner, in which you need multiple ships for the different burner missions.

Also you cannot escape, so once you are engaged you fight until you either win or lose your ship.

So again, I personally don't do them.

Fozzie even went so far (and very insulting in my opinion) to say they are doable in meta 4 - t2 equipment alone.

So far, I have not had that much luck with that T2 equipment... Actually I haven't had any luck doing a single one after spending several hundreds of millions.

The only Burner missions I've been able to beat in T2 fits are the Team Burners with a T2/Meta Garmur setup. For the Anomic Burners you need a minimum of a Deadspace hardener and armor rep, and some require Faction webs because you can't web the targets even when overheated. Now if we're talking off-grid links with T2 fits, that's another story.

Provided you don't run out of drones, that is.

An RLML T2/meta 4 fit Onyx is an even easier proposition on that mission than the Gila
