This wave is one of the hardest in all 4 epic arcs. Their optimal is around 55km.

Mission 7 - Background Check, all the triggers for me, were completely wrong.

It seemed more like destroying any class of ship, eg: all the cruisers or battleships from a wave, would cause the next. The only out of place was that you could get frigate spawns at the begining of taking down a set. Only one point did the DPS look dangerous and thats when I had 3 Tyrants and 6 BC, and 4 cruisers in play. Was quickly saved by knocking out the Tryants. FYI Done in an armor tanked Ishtar.

I had the same problem as a bove, with regards to the wierd triggers.
Although, I was doing it in a faction fit beam pally, so the DPS was never too bad to tank, not by much atleast.

Anyone else try to killing ships in Mission 8? I started but 4 of the BSs neut and 4 more spawned. The DPS rapidly increased and I couldn't tank it. Warped out before my cap was drained. But would love to try to KILL THEM ALL!!!

Mission 7 triggers are off but you can't go far wrong if you start with eliminating battleships and work down the chain each time.

I killed all the ships in mission 8 but had to warp out a couple of times due to bad tactics. NO faction loss.

The 5 x Outpost Defender 'frigates' are not frigates but heavy-hitting fighter drones. Until I realised this I ignored them and couldn't figure out what was destroying my tank (1EM/1therm Gankaddon).

3 of the battleships (Diviners, I think) were extremely fast moving and covered the 95km distance to my non-AB kiting BS in 20 seconds or so. They were the neuting ships. The remaining 4 battleships I don't know much about; I couldn't figure out their optimal or dmg since I mistook the fighter drones' DPS for theirs. As far as I could tell, though, there was no additional spawn.

Drop was fairly dismal:
12 x Navy Colonel Insignia I
14 x Navy General Insignia II
7 Armour plates
28 trippeds
Very sparse loot including some misc gear and one 1600mm rolled Tungsten. Not really worth the trouble.

Completed missions 6 to 10 in T2 fitted Command ship (Sleipnir). Mission 8 completed without killing NPC's.

Mission 11 - Ascending Nobles
DPS was bit much so I used Battleship.

After that decided to upgrade Command Ship (Sleipnir) to Faction/Deadspace fit up. No problem after that.

2013-12-15 01:28:13

Mission 7 triggers are still off. Need to lead the initial group out to about 150km from beacon and start working them to get the correct sequence.

Mission 11 - Ascending Nobles:

The extra spawn is not dependent upon looting Mina Darabi from the container. It will spawn anyway (I'm assuming because 30 minutes elapsed since I completed the mish)

(found this out the hard way of going the six jumps back to get the noctis and warping in again)

Mission 12 - Hunting the Hunter
I have had great difficulty with this mission today (August 2015). Rahsa's Security Card would not drop, and I could not activate the gate by blowing up the Battletower. I submitted a ticket, and the GMs kindly reset it, but unfortunately this did not fix the issue. Just make sure you submit a support ticket if you encounter the same issue.

Mission 8
Engaging is not needed but I tried just for kicks.

dps is high and neut very annoying but grasshopping with an MJD does the trick
Raven Navy sniping config, T2 (rage) cruise missiles, T2 light drones
Start far away. Fighter drones are on you within seconds, dispatch them first.
Keep the battleships @ over 80km and privilege Diviners. If well trained, drones will take care of those coming closer without assistance.

bounty ~13mil
loot+salvaging ~33mil
scary and intense, but worth it :)

Mission 8

No standing loss for killing the enemys.

Just to make things clear about Mission 8 (Longing Leman)...there is a red fleet that looks just like any other rat fleet but they do not agro you upon warp-in, nor when you target and loot the Comm Logs. I assume you could fly right up to them and bump them with your ship and not get agro. I don't bother them because their info shows no bounty, and any loot would just not be worth my time and trouble.

Mission 10 - Razing the Outpost.
Blitz. It’s not necessary to destroy ships in pocket 2. Just destroy the base and the mission is done.
