divided Third Pocket into its two groups
Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:52 UTC
Faction: Blood Raiders and Angel Cartel (Blood Raiders in the last pocket)
Mission type: Encounter
Spacetype: Deadspace, with guards at the warp in.
Damage dealt: Em/Therm (very little Kin) from Bloods; All kinds, but heavy EXP/Kin from Angels
Web/scramblers: Elite Frigs, Blood Spy
Extras: NOS (Priest/Dark Priest)
Recommended damage dealing: EM, therm for the bloods, Exp, kin for the angels.
Recommended ships: Apocalypse, Dominix, Maelstrom, Sacriliege, Nighthawk.
Warp in "Warzone stage"
You arrive in the middle of two large groups (135km to the nearest rat) and two gates (40km to each gate approx). One for your primary enemy, and one for the faction mentioned in the mission briefing (in this case, Blood Raiders and Angels). They start far away from you guarding their own gate. The gates are locked until you kill the last ship. But you can unlock them by carrying Zbikoki's Hacker Card (obtained from Zor) in your cargohold. It will be consumed on activation.
Group 1 (Blood Raiders)
3x Battleship (Oracle/Prophet)3x Elite Frigate (Follower/Herald)
2x Elite Cruiser (Dark Priest/Shadow Sage)
* 400-450dps (EM 51%/TH 49%)
Group 2 (Angel Cartel)
3x Elite Frigate (Outlaw/Thug)4x Battleship (Malakim/Throne)
3x Elite Cruiser (Crusher/Smasher)
* ~600dps (EM 1%/EX 78%/KN 18%/TH 2%)
Tip
- If you can't build a strong enough omni-tank based on the information provided, I'd suggest tanking EM/TH first and take the mission to completion, and then come back with your Angel Cartel tank before turning the mission in.
Bloodraider Pocket
Blood Spys might scramble/web, but may not also. Using drones on them aggros the whole room.
First group will aggro shortly after you enter {2x Blood Spy (Frigate) and 3X Battleship (Apostle/Oracle)}.
Second group {2x Blood Fanatic (Battlecruiser) and 2x Battleship (Apostle/Oracle)} can be attacked separately.
Third group {5 Blood Friars (Destroyers) and 5 Battleships (more Apostles/Oracles)} ... save for last.
Random chance of a Blood Overseer [375k Battleship] spawning. It can be attacked separately without agroing other groups.
Warning: if you do it all wrong and aggro all of them --
* Full-aggro is 1100-1200dps (EM 50%/TH 50%) with the occasional kinetic cruise missile from the BS's.
Tips:
- Shooting the Spies with your own guns/missiles will not aggro anything else. Drones and anyone else will.
- Drones can be safely used to kill the auto-aggro group. Just make sure they don't shoot Spies.
- One can slowboat to the next gate. No additional aggro. You will be at around 5 km to the gate when the gate group aggros you.
- Wait for the 1st group to target you, and take them all out. Fire on another ship, it's group will target you, and take that group out. Feel free to take out the Blood Spy's, once the 2nd group is gone, to trigger the last group.
- you might find a collidable structure in your way (or even hit it) as you enter.
Angel Cartel Pocket
Tank: Exp / Kin
Aggro at warp in: Yes (Might web)
10x Battleships (Gist Seraphim/Malakim/Throne) (Dealing EM)
7x Cruiser / Battlecruisers
3x Frigates
5x Interceptors (web/scramble)
You get aggro from two frigs that might web. Get some distance from the groups before shooting at anything. Shooting at the two Spies, will aggro everything.
3rd Pocket (Blood Raiders)
The pocket looks like a single group. But it's actually 3. Use the same technique suggested for the Blood Raider pocket.
First Group autoaggroes, range under 10km {3x Elite Cruisers (Dark Priest/Shadow Sage) plus 2 Battleships (Apostle/Oracle/Prophet)}
Second Group can be attacked separately {4x Elite Frigates (Herald/Upholder) plus 2 Battleships (Apostle/Oracle)}. These frigates can web.
Third Group is the remainder {3x Battlecruiser (Fanatic/Phantom) plus 2 Battleships (Apostle/Oracle).
Again, if you do everything wrong [use drones, etc.]
