Tip:
- Attacking the Mining Corporation Headquarters station will trigger Ambush Spawn 1.
- The Mining Corporation Headquarters station drops mainly T1 modules and some Faction ammo.
- The mission is flagged completed once you have triggered all the ambush by maneuvering your ship to within 10km of the locked acceleration gate.
Blitz
1. Fly to the gate in a shuttle, trigger the ambush, warp out.Note: The Mercenary Wingman frigates will spawn on top of the warp gate. You may get webbed/scrambled if you're not fast enough in warping out.
Recon (3 of 3), Level 4
Faction: None
Mission type: Recon
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: All types (EM, Therm, Kin and Exp)
Web/Scramble: None
Extras: Toxic gas cloud damage
Recommended damage dealing: NA
Recommended ships: Any well tanked battleships (Golem, CNR, Raven, Dominix) or battlecruisers (Drake, Myrmidon, Hurricane) or a fast cruiser (Stabber).
Pocket 1
There are no NPC ships to kill. The next warp gate sits at 60km distance from the warp-in point.
The toxic environment will damage your ship in successive toxic cloud waves. The waves are timed to hit every 20 secs and they do ALL types of damage.
The damage increases by 50/100 damage for each successive waves to a maximum 1000 damage (at 0% resistance).
A final giant toxic cloud will hit after about 10 waves (or ~3.5 mins).
After this final wave there will no more damage coming from the toxic environment.
Warning
- If you warp out, the toxic cloud waves will be reset.
- DO NOT bookmark the (plagiocase/pyroxeres) asteroid field in the next pocket. On attempting to warp to the bookmark, you will be deposited into the toxic cloud, resulting in insta-death for the un-prepared mining ship.

Toxic Cloud Wave (every 20 secs):
500-1000 EM damage (at 0% EM resistance)500-1000 Therm damage (at 0% Therm resistance)
500-1000 Kin damage (at 0% Kin resistance)
500-1000 Exp damage (at 0% Exp resistance)
Final Giant Toxic Cloud (after about 200 secs):
2000 EM damage (at 0% EM resistance)2000 Therm damage (at 0% Therm resistance)
2000 Kin damage (at 0% Kin resistance)
2000 Exp damage (at 0% Exp resistance)
Tip:
- Fit an omni-tank to cover for all damage types. Needs a minimum sustainable 200 dps tank for each damage type.
- An afterburner helps a lot as the warp gate distance is very far.
- Stabber setup: Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburner (or T2), 2x Large Shield Extender II, 3x Overdrive Injector. This is the fastest way to complete the mission.
- The mission is flagged completed once you have activated the warp gate and warped off to safety.
