All frigs and cruisers, with no bounties of course. BOOOOO Next time i will skip this mission. Everytime. Worthless.

5 x Caldari Navy Captain Insignia II
7 x Caldari Navy Captain Insignia III
38 x Caldari Navy Commodore Insignia II
3 x 0.018 standing loss against caldari makes it worse. Better than other
faction missions compared with insignia drop. If you are faster, you lose less standing.

Ran this with a Shield Tanked CNR - good thing I brought along a bunch of Dragon F.O.F every Blackbird class cruiser was target jamming, as well as every Frigate webbing/scrambleing. In other words NOT EASY. Total of 50 ships. Lost 4 Hammerhead II. Do not accept this mission unless you know exactly what you are doing. Caldari standing loss .167
The lack of bounties and poor loot/salvage makes this mission a total loss, not to mention the extreme possability of the loss of your ship.

Do NOT shoot the habitation module... it gives -2.4% caldari standing :D

Blitz: Killing all Cruisers of Initial Spawn did the Job for me

Clearing out just the initial spawn works for blitz. Easiest way for me was to target all frigates, kill them all, then do the same for cruisers.

The mission took me 9 (NINE) jump. WTF?

Only I get this mission with extreme destinations? I got this shit again to 9 jumps from my agent. And lowsec.

I too had to go rather longer than usual to get to this mission.

The cruisers in the second and forth wave employ nearly endless sensor dampening. If you don't have drones set to aggressive or FoF missiles, get them.

3 jumps last time. 2 jumps this time. Both high-sec. Can't remember how far the time before that, but never farther than 4 jumps and never low-sec.

I ran this in an Ishtar and found it very easy. I burned out to 100km off the Momument, and sniped with Warden II's taking all frigate hulls (plus respawns) first.

Easy LP and a nice haul of tags too, so I'd recommend this to anyone who does not worry about losing Caldari standings ;-)

As a side note, I've never gone more than two jumps to do this mission.

Really annoying mission; Recommend declining this one.

Agreed!

Unless you need the Tags - pass up this mission

completed this mission in CNR shield tank... killed everything but the 3 Taibu State Tendai's left all structures, 30mill loot and no faction lose!

When I ran the mission, I got a standing hit (-0,0018%) from the "Taibu State Oni" from the last spawn. I did not touch any structures.

Evepraisal for the loot including tags and salvage was worth about 17 Mil. I had to go 6 jumps for the mission, so profitwise it is not the best deal. The quick LP are still nice though, 8925 in my case.

Destroying only the initial waves does NOT complete the mission. Destroying Spawns 1 and 3 does NOT complete the mission.

One of the Frigate spawn waves has a WARP DISRUPTOR.

Killing the next-to-last spawn wave of cruisers marked the mission as complete for me, but I had to destroy an extra frigate that was warp disrupting me.

FACTION BALANCING: -0.018% for "Combat - Ship Kill" <-- "This penalty was incurred for destroying Caldari State's Taibu State Kanpaku in [Solar System]"
