Okay

Im going to run some level IV missions tonight based out of Auvergne. (Fed intelligence agent - Gallente Space)

If you fancy coming then let me know, the plan is simple:

1. Share bounties
2. share rewards inc rep
3. help you get cash, rep etc

Bring what ever you like but we will face frigates, so bring a frigate. We will face cruisers - so bring one of those. And there is a shit load of loot to be had - so salvagers useful too.

the idea is simple:

I warp in first, grab aggro from as much as possible. sometimes they are multipocket enemies so be aware it might be a single pocket. You come in next and grab anything you fancy handling. If you get aggro - WARP OUT. Then come in a minute or so.

I have no real gang skills so we wont be running in any kind of role. This is about getting cash and rep and having some fun...

I gave up on this mission after about an hour or so of shooting things and seeing every single bloody ship that I blew away respawn in that hour. The nasty thing is, if you warp out and warp back in, or don't do the mission at once, you get so many things shooting at you that you simply won't survive. Or at least I lost 70% Shield power in the time it took to align, fire off two salvos and warp out. And I could not kill any of the damage dealing ships with those two salvoes.

I took a big standings hit after I cancelled the mission. Still haven't recovered from it.

WEll it seems this mission is the curse. I lost my Domi. Me, Tsong and Aciid tried it again and again. Got everything but the BS's down and in the end simply gave up on it. Nasssty mission.

Cancelled, lost rep so back to Ingabanear to recover. It would have been fine had it been any other mission i think :)

down 25mill :)

What Strategy did you use? When I warped in, I instantly took off into the opposite direction and opened fire on all the frigates first and then the cruisers. At sufficient range (liberal application of the afterburner) they died pretty fast. By then I had 10 or so BS' following me, but at range they didn't do a lot of damage. I got them down to 5or 6 only to find out that everything I had killed had already respawned.

So I read the walkthrough on the mission again while I kept shooting up BS after BS. Since I read I only needed to shoot the tower to complete the mission, I warped out, warped back in, targeted the tower and almost died instantly. ;) All the respawned ships and all the Battleships seem to be at close to optimal range if you warp out once. Even with shield booster running, I lost 70% of my shield power within 15 to 20 seconds. Tried 3 more times, felt it was a waste of effort and way too risky and warped out for good, cancelling the mission. I am reasonably sure with the tactic I used and 2 Battleships (or much higher skills), it is possible to do the mission.

How did this work out for Tsong and Aciiid? Did they get aggro from the respawns? That's what I would be worried about.

Also, if we are not yet strong enough to handle all lvl 4 missions, we can always drag some people through lvl 3s to help them advance and earn cash....

Ive never done that mission before. You need a strong omni (i htinkthats the right one) tank. We kitted out for EM/Therm and Kin/Therm and they just ripped us a new ass.

I got aggro most of the time and just couldnt keep the damage repairs. Ive never encountered a level iv mission that gave me that much hassle with my domi so its not a case of being cannot do level iv's more a case of cannot do that level iv :)

Try again when im next on. Ill hold out for angel extraveganza or something.

Did my remote rep do anything at all ? if so I could get a cap boster mod or something to help out a little more. I wasn't exactly MR.DPS so I'd be happy to help out in anyway I can.

It did a little yes. you ideally need to get cap stable with that running i'd say...

To be honest the incoming damage was so much that notrhing made much of a difference :( i hate that mission.
