Revision [21777]

Edited on 2017-04-01 22:26:00 by JeanInkura [clean up - layout]
Additions:
====Single Pocket ====
The locked acceleration gate (mission objective) is 72km away from the warp-in point.
===Ambush Spawn 1 ===
Mercenary Cruise Missile Battery //(Cataclysm Cruise Missile)//
4x Elite Frigate (Mercenary Wingman) **(Web/ scramble)**
3x Cruiser (Mercenary Commander)
2x Battleship (Mercenary Overlord)
===Ambush Spawn 2 ===
Mercenary Cruise Missile Battery //(Cataclysm Cruise Missile)//
Battleship (Mercenary Overlord)
To manage aggro, trigger the first ambush by attacking the Mining Corporation Headquarters station.
The mission is flagged completed once you have triggered both spawns, by either approaching to within 10km of the acceleration gate or destroying the station.
Fly to the gate in a small fast ship or micro jump a Battleship or Battlecruiser to trigger the ambush, align and warp out as soon as the mission completes.
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.
== Structure ==
The Mining Corporation Headquarters has very high HP (~306,550) and drops mainly T1 modules and some Faction ammo.
Loot + Salvage: [[http://evepraisal.com/e/15886191 ~1.5 mil]]
Damage dealt: All types
Web/ Scramble: None
Recommended ships: Corvette, any well tanked Battleship (Raven, Dominix), Battlecruiser (Drake, Myrmidon, Hurricane) or a fast Cruiser (Stabber).
There are no NPC ships to kill. The warp gate is 60km away from the warp-in point. The gate is configured to reject Capsules and Capitals.
The toxic environment will damage your ship in consecutive toxic cloud waves. Each wave deals an equal amount of each type of raw damage with no resists applied. Damage amount increases with each successive wave.
Wave 1 (~2000 dmg) 0:15
Wave 2 (~2200 dmg) 0:20
Wave 3 (~2400 dmg) 0:40
Wave 4 (~2600 dmg) 1:00
Wave 5 (~2800 dmg) 1:20
Wave 6 (~3000 dmg) 1:50
Wave 7 (~3200 dmg) 2:10
Wave 8 (~3400 dmg) 2:30
Wave 9 (~3600 dmg) 2:50
Wave 10 (~3800 dmg) 3:10
Wave 11 (~8000 dmg) 4:00
After the final giant toxic cloud wave there will be no more damage coming from the toxic environment.
== Tip ==
The toxic cloud waves will be reset after you have warped out.
The waves take 4:00, if you warp back shortly after the final wave, they don't reset and you can fly to the gate unmolested. If you come back too fast they are still going and you can die. If you wait too long or if someone else warps in, the wave sequence may reset.
The way to do this safely is to start a 4 minute timer as you start to warp, then warp out as soon as you land (about half the time a Shuttle can make it out), re-dock and get a new shuttle if needed, when the 4 minutes is up, warp in, fly to the gate.
==Optional Approach ==
Fit an omni-tank with a minimum sustainable 200 ehp per damage type.
Fit a Microwarpdrive (or afterburner) to quickly cover the distance to the warp gate to save time and if your tank does not meet the minimum requirement.
If you're on slow battleship fit a Micro Jump Drive, align to the gate and jump, you'll only have to fly about 15km this way.
The mission is flagged completed once you have activated the warp gate and landed in the second room.
If you can get your Miner through the cloud, in the second Pocket, you find:
45 Veldspar asteroids (1,382,948 Units)
30 Plagioclase asteroids (259,119 Units)
16 Pyroxeres asteroids (139,845 Units)
**Warning**: Attempting to warp to the asteroid field in the second pocket using a bookmark will land you in the first room with the toxic cloud, resulting in a very quick death for any unprepared mining ship.
Deletions:
Here is a video of part 2 and 3.
No aggro upon warp-in. The locked acceleration gate (mission objective) is 72km away from the warp-in point.
===Ambush Spawn 1:===
1x Mercenary Cruise Missile Battery //(Cataclysm Cruise Missile)//
4x Elite Frigates (Mercenary Wingman) **(Web/ scramble)**
3x Cruisers (Mercenary Commander)
2x Battleships (Mercenary Overlord)
===Ambush Spawn 2:===
1x Mercenary Cruise Missile Battery //(Cataclysm Cruise Missile)//
1x Battleships (Mercenary Overlord)
- To manage aggro, trigger the first ambush by attacking the Mining Corporation Headquarters station.
- The Mining Corporation Headquarters station drops mainly T1 modules and some Faction ammo.
- The mission is flagged completed once you have triggered both spawns i.e. by maneuvering your ship to within 10km of the locked acceleration gate or by destroying the station.
- Fly to the gate in a shuttle, trigger the ambush, warp out. **Better yet: Use a frigate with a microwarpdrive!** **Better still: use an MJD battleship, align towards the gate and hit the MJD, the mission will complete as soon as you land**
- 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.
==Note==
- Mining Corporation headquarters has very high HP (approx. 306,550 total).
Loot + Salvage: ~1.5 mil (http://evepraisal.com/e/15886191)
Damage dealt: All types (EM, Therm, Kin and Exp.)
Web/Scramble: None
Recommended ships: Any well tanked battleship (Raven, Dominix.) or battlecruiser (Drake, Myrmidon, Hurricane.) or a fast cruiser. (Stabber.)
There are no NPC ships to kill. The next warp gate is 60km away from the warp-in point. The gate is configured to reject Capsules and Capitals.
//Unconfirmed: Toxic cloud will be disabled upon losing your ship and will not re-enable.
(Confirmed by Dai Verdigris 14Aug2012. Lost a frigate, returned with battleship. No clouds))
(Confirmed by IcareAboutOre 09Dec2013 : Lost a rookie frig, came back in a MWD fitted frig. No cloud, no damage.)
(Falsified by IcareAboutOre 13Dec2013 : Trick did not work. Either they fixed it, or it only works *sometimes*)
(Confirmed by Lelira Cirim 30Dec2013 : Lost a shuttle, came back in a shuttle. No cloud, no damage.)
(Semi-Confirmed by Restrikt 08Feb2014. Lost Frigate, came back in Tengu. Cloud was there and received only one tick of damage)
(How it works: The waves take 4:00, if you warp back shortly after the final wave, they don't reset and you can fly to the gate unmolested. If you come back too fast they are still going and you can die. If you wait too long they start a new set of waves, or if someone else warps in that would restart it too. The way to do this safely is to start a 4 minute timer as you start to warp, then warp out as soon as you land (about half the time a shuttle can make it out), redock get a new shuttle if needed, be moving the same speed and direction you were last time you warped when the 4 minutes is up, warp in, fly to gate.)
//
The toxic environment will damage your ship in consecutive toxic cloud waves. Each wave deals EM, Therm, Kin, and Exp damage. First wave is 500*4=2000 raw damage with no shield/armor resists applied. Each successive wave has increased damage.
Wave 1 (~2000dmg) 0:15
Wave 2 (~2200dmg) 0:20
Wave 3 (~2400dmg) 0:40
Wave 4 (~2600dmg) 1:00
Wave 5 (~2800dmg) 1:20
Wave 6 (~3000dmg) 1:50
Wave 7 (~3200dmg) 2:10
Wave 8 (~3400dmg) 2:30
Wave 9 (~3600dmg) 2:50
Wave 10 (~3800dmg) 3:10
Wave 11 (~8000dmg) 4:00
A final giant toxic cloud wave 11 hits after 4:00. It deals 2000 per type = 8000 raw damage with no shield/armor resists applied.
After this final giant toxic cloud there will no more damage coming from the toxic environment.
**__Warning __**
- The toxic cloud waves will be reset after you have warped out.
- DO NOT try to warp to the (plagioclase/pyroxeres) asteroid field in the second pocket. As this is deadspace trying to warp into the second room (using a bookmark) you will land in the first room with the toxic cloud, resulting in a very quick death for any un-prepared mining ship.
