The Damsel In Distress, Level 4
Faction: Mercenaries
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Normal space (aka MWD works)
Damage dealt: All types. Therm(~63%), Kin(~24%), Exp(~6%), EM(~7%)
Web/scramble: Spider Drones web
Extras: NA
Recommended damage dealing: Therm (best all round), Kin (secondary)
Recommended ship class: Battleship
Note: Great mission for looting/salvaging (especially in a Marauder) if you sit still and tank the mostly close orbit NPC ships.
Single Pocket
Auto-aggro from Initial Group at warp-in.
It is recommended that you set your drones to passive to avoid hitting the trigger ship (Kruul) accidentally.
All spawns will appear near the Kruul's Pleasure Garden structures. They may target drones/fleets members.
Warning
- Spawn 1 is triggered when Kruul is attacked. Make sure you save him for last. (Be careful if you have uber skills, if you insta-pop him you don't get the spawn. Use only a target painter without guns so you cause the spawn but don't damage him.)
- Spawn 2 is triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~25% armor remaining.
- Spawn 3 is triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~40% hull remaining.
The Damsel is in Kruul's Pleasure Garden located the farthest away from the warp in Beacon.
Don't waste your time on Kruul's Pleasure Garden closest to the warp-in Beacon. There is nothing in it.
WARNING: When you destroy Kruul's Pleasure Garden it will emit a blast with a radius of 30-40KM that inflicts 3000 Explosive Damage.
NOTE: BLOWING UP THE HUB WILL NOW KILL YOUR DRONES!!! (Incarna release)
Initial Group (Auto-aggro): (25-35km)
2x Frigates (Kruul's Henchmen)4x Cruisers (Pleasure Hub Guardian - Mercenary Commander/Corporal) Scourge Heavy Missile
3x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
1x Cruiser (Kruul) Trigger Havoc Heavy Missile
Spawn 1 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul is attacked. 6x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy MissileSpawn 2 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~25% armor remaining. 2x Spider Drone I Web4x Cruisers (Pleasure Hub Guardian - Mercenary Corporal) Scourge Heavy Missile
4x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
Spawn 3 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~40% hull remaining.5x Frigates (Seven Death Dealer)
3x Cruisers (Seven Assassin) Havoc Heavy Missile
1x Battleship (Zor) Cataclysm Cruise Missile (always drops a junk implant, but there is a chance for a second better implant to drop as well)
Tip
- Spawn 1 can be prevented from appearing if you destroy Kruul's Casino before you begin your attack on Kruul.
- Killing Kruul in one volley prevents him calling for help. - Did this tonight, one-shot Kruul, and I got the 6 BS ship spawn.
- Mission is flagged completed after you have destroyed the Kruul's Pleasure Garden that holds the Damsel.
- Most NPC ships will try to approach as close as possible (including battleships). Long range sniping is the best way to both tank battleships and deal considerable DPS.
- Most spawns will aggro your drones.
Structures
- Kruul's Casino drops NPC trade goods/passengers.
Blitz
- Kill/ignore the cruisers/battleships from the initial group.
- Either: Ignore Kruul completely -- OR: Destroy Kruul's Casino to prevent Spawn 1. After this, you can kill Kruul safely.
- Destroy the Kruul's Pleasure Garden that is the furthest away from the warp in point and pickup the Damsel. Kill/ignore the remaining two spawns as they appear (beware very significant incoming dps).
Bounty
- 5 mil ISK (if all ships are killed)
Note
- The Explosion Wave will NOT affect any NPC ships. But it will kill your drones, and damage your ships!
