3 : Pirate Invasion (Guristas Pirates)

[BarmaLINI]

Mission Name : Pirate Invasion
Agent Level : 3
Enemy : Guristas Pirates
Mission Type : Kill

Link : http://eveinfo.com/missions/112

Briefing :
We received a report just a couple hours ago from our secret agents that revealed plans by our enemies to make a sneak attack against us in this very system! We believe this plan will take effect in a matter of minutes, as our surveillance teams have spotted a number of their ships mobilizing inside ***. I personally received a message from our esteemed CEO, Mininela Erinen, to send my most trusted contacts against these scoundrels, and so I ask you ***, are you up to it? All I need you to do is fly over to 5 locations and destroy all of the hostile ships you encounter, my other clients will take care of the rest. This will hopefully deter them from any further mobilization within ***.


Please post your impressions about this mission. Also you can post (share) your views, hints, tips, tactics and etc..

I made this mission and it differs completly as described.

3 Stages, 2 via gate

1 Stage at least 7 enemies
2 Stage full of Frigs and Cruisers, did not count them, guess 4 times as much
3 Stage the hardest one. About 7 Frigs and 14 Cruisers and 3 Battlecruiser. The 3 Battlecruisers have Bounty > 130k
they encounter in 2 groups. First groupe of Frigs and 8 Cruisers
2 groupe 3 BC and 6 Cruisers


Next time I get this mission I trie to make screenshots.

[Faighn]

Yeah, I've had the same thing...
After getting through the first gate and dealing with everything, the bounties had scrolled off the bottom of my wallet...

[quadinaros4]

Same here, tons O' spawn. This is actually a great mission for a 2-boxer, it makes you sweat a bit

(Last spawn group in step 3 is 8 cruisers, about 900k ISK bounty. 3 or more battlecruisers in the group)

Pithatis Assaulter
Pithatis Executor x2
Pithium Annihilator x2
Pithium Nullifier x3

Other groups included many Pithi Annihilators, Nullifiers, Silencers, Infernos and Ascribers plus frigates (most frigates were cake)

[Mad Jock]

Just did this one today and it's different again.

Step 1 = 2 x Annihilator 80,000
1 x Ascriber 57,500

Step 2 = 1 x Nullifier 87,500
2 x Ascriber 57,500

Step 3 = 1 x Mortifier 95,000
2 x Webifiers 25,000

Step 4 = 1 x Killer 65,000
1 x Annihilator 80,000
1 x Ascriber 57,500

Step 5 = 1 x Annilhilator 80,000
1 x Nullifier 87,500
1 x Kyoukan 30,000

Just did the mission. 3 BC in last stage - so it has changed again.

[MxO]

I just had a go at it... the area on the other side of the first gate was packed with cruisers. Lots more than were listed for step 2.

Lousy CCP, changing stuff when you don't expect it. Grr.

[Dahak]

I expect that after the Dragon patch in a couple days, these missions should settle down somewhat. Just a couple hours ago I went on a Mordus Headhunters with a friend, one of those pathetic ones where 3 frigates at a time warp in on you.

But whenever I do it I go to a deadspace and find 2 huge blobs.

[Unholy Qabalist (Bfz)]

yes the mission database is way off on this one, aside from being a MUCH heavier spawn, there are several structures in the second gate that have the possibility of dropping alittle loot, the major starship arrays in perticular


THIS JUST IN, the largest structure in the second area, the War Installation, drops loot.. took me forever to blow it up.. but i did and it dropped.. loot was several collections of heavy missile and a medium hull rep

[eleuthereus]

DO NOT - repeat - DO NOT do this stupid mission. This is one big waste of time. It is very different, BTW, from the description in DB.

It is in 3 stages (mine was in Amarr space and was against Serpentis/Coreli/Corelum rather than Gurista, so use therm/kinetic protection and deal out pure kinetic dmg)

1. All small frigs about 8 or so.

2. a mix of frigs and cruisers about 15-20

3. a mix of frigs, cruisers and BCs about 12 - 15.

Out of all of these ships, maybe 2-3 from each deadspace pocket (not agro groups, mind you, but the entire deadspace pocket) dropped crap loot.

And as for the "WAR INSTALLATION" in the pocket - it took me 40 minutes of constant barrage of 5 heavy launchers and two medium raisl with antimatter to blow (heavies doing 228 DMG and rails hitting for between 90-150). After all of that the structure drops -- drum roll plz ------

100 antimatter charges
100 light missiles
1 standard launcher
1 malkuth assault launcher
1 heavy missile launcher i
1 dual 150 mm railgun

junk junk junk junk junk --

And in the last and "hardest" stage, the LCO Pleasure Hub cannot be blown up. It takes 0.0 DMG from all missiles and turrets. So much for getting any nice drops from that.

I will never do this mission again. Takes quite a while because they put the warp gates far from your warp in point and some of those cruisers and BC have a fairly nice tank -- WASTE OF TIME. Skip and do something else - my goodness, mining veldspar would even be more profitable.

[SSgt_Sniper]

It does drop crappy loot, but with all the BC's in the Serpentis version I made okay money (after I got over being warp scrambled at the entry point by a frigate). Someone should update and post variations (Serpentis) to it as well.

[Blinne]

My enemies were much like eleuthereus's. First area, I didn't screenshot, but it was just a few weak frigs. Shrug.

Here are (if I can get it to work), images of the baddie list in the second and third areas.

Area 2:

You can see half the spawn aggroing... the other half also aggroed as a group.

Area 3:

I fought all the frigs at once, then about half the rest, then the BCs and the few remaining cruisers.


My T2-equipped rail Brutix had zero difficulty with it. I agree the loot was crap, but the bounties add up to 2M or so, quite aside from the rewards from the agent.

[Mad Jock]

I did this mission in a Scorpion fitted with just 4 Heavy launchers (2 tractor beams to collect loot) and 5 vespa's and completed it without too much difficulty. The last part was definately the hardest tho.

Loot wise it may not be the best, but I did get an Arbalest standard missile launcher which arn't that cheap.


Have fun...............Mad Jock

Also got the 3 part version with a big 3rd part. 4.5 mill total cash from this mission. 2 mill was bounty. Didn't blow up any structures. Worth doing for that if you're not risking your ship imo...
