Dead Space Pocket
You warp into spawn areaInitial Group aggros at warp-in.
Killing the Mercenary Overlord battleship will trigger spawn.
Warning
- Normal space mission, no gate, you warp in near the initial position of the Mercenary Overlord battleship. If you kill it, the next wave with Web/scramble frigs and imba cruisers will spawn right on you.
- The six Shadow's Grunt cruisers will hit hard if your EM resist is too low. (Kinda lv4 extravaganza.)
- Spawn will aggro drones.
- Possible safe tactic: Warp in, align, kill Overlord, instantly warp out before scrambles lock on, then warp back at 50-100km, make sure you're outside of cruiser's range. Then aggro and use mwd to separate frigs. Count on webbing if frigs come too close! After this keep aligning of course.
Initial Group:
Center (23km)1x Battleship (Mercenary Overlord - Trigger) Scourge Heavy Missile
Left (90-100km)
6x Frigates (Mercenary Wingman) Web/Scramble
Right (123-128km)
4x Cruisers (Mercenary Lieutenant) Bloodclaw Light Missile
Spawn: (20-25km)
4x Frigates (Shadow's Wingman - Mercenary Wingman) Web/Scramble6x Cruisers (Shadow's Grunt - Mercenary Commander) Scourge Heavy Missile
2x Battleships (Shadow's Goon - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
1x Battleship (Shadow - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
Tips
- To warp into this pocket at any distance : Warp to mission location, quickly cancel it and then select warp to your preferred distance.
- For Spawn : To reduce incoming DPS, eliminate the Mercenary Commanders first. Watch out for any scrambling frigates and shift your primary target accordingly.
- Mission is flagged completed after you have eliminated Shadow. Don't forget to loot the 1x Report dropped (needed to close the mission).
Blitz
- Eliminate the Mercenary Overlord battleship to trigger the spawn. Watch out for any incoming Mercenary Wingman frigates that web/scramble.
- Eliminate Shadow. Loot the 1x Report dropped and warp out.
- Note : The Report is not a specific item. This mission can be closed using any Reports sold by NPC corps in the market.
