Missions & Complexes

Angel Provincial HQ is an unrated combat Cosmic Signature which can only be found by scanning with exploration probes in Null sec space where Angel NPC's are located.

Probably need high skill level and a really good Battleship fit to complete that site. Definitely should have a couple of other players in fleet to run the site until you have gained experience in running it.

Unfortunately that site guide doesn't list if there's separate groups of NPC's, their range or if they auto-aggro on warp-in. From what I see the first room has a few Elite Ewar Frigates doing Target Painting, Stasis Webifier and Warp Scramble so definitely need to destroy them asap and then work on the rest of the NPC's.

Also best to save the 4 x Gist Arena Guardian Battleships for last since attacking each one will spawn a reinforcement group of NPC's. Probably be a good idea to lead those Battleships away from the spawn point first before actually engaging them to keep from being overwhelmed by their reinforcement spawns which include Spider Drones doing Stasis Webifier Ewar.

According to that guide, the second room has double the amount of NPC's found in the first room with a lot of Elite Frigates doing Ewar. Not to mention a Stasis Tower too so you'll definitely need a strong tank and plenty of Drones to help knock out those Ewar Frigates. Lastly it looks like the Commander wave will spawn after one of the Battlestation structures is attacked.

All I can say is get a few friends in fleet and have fun. Might even gain an expedition from it which is probably even tougher than the site.

Good luck.

Yeah, completing Exploration Combat sites does not guarantee getting an escalation for Expedition..

Finding complete info on the higher level Expeditions is tough, especially since it's a low random chance to get an escalation for Expedition from the exploration site. Completion of each stage of the Expedition is also subject to random chance. Usually there's 4 stages to the Expedition with the final stage having the largest amount of risk and best reward..

The Angel Provincial HQ link I posted had a link to it's Expedition - Special Forces.

Granted that guide isn't totally complete but it does contain a lot of info which gives a pretty good idea of what to expect. Despite CCP and others saying Evelopedia is out of date, from my experience I've found that it contains a lot more PvE info than other wiki's currently available.

Anyway, I hope you have good luck and much success completing all future Exploration Combat sites and their Expeditions.

Looks easy enough from what I can see the big question is what do the Siege Auto-cannons and Arties do. If they are anything like the Citadel Missles you get in some of the higher DEDs it may be a very hard room.

Also may take a while to kill all of the Elite Cruisers in the first room. Last room may just require popping Boss and MJDing out (or killing Elite frigs and warping out and waiting for the site to despawn, BM the wreck)

Ive done these twice and both times gotten special forces escalation. Beware, you might want to bring logi for that 2nd room, those siege cannons = capital lvl dps when you add in the fact every other ship in that 2nd rooms on you right away (and you're webbed etc). Theres 4 at first and need to be taken out ASAP. Once you clear that first batch of ships and the cannons you can force commander s pawn by attacking one of the battlestations, 2-4 more siege cannons will spawn along with a ton of more ships. Long story short, loot always sucked and the special forces escalation is broken, both times ive gotten the escalation message for 2nd part yet nothing ever appears in journal. CCP never got back to me didnt bother second time.

That's what I mesnt. I sent in bug reports. No responses. Screw them
