3 : The Blockade (Guristas Pirates)

[Shags]

i just did this mission and the mobs that spawned were diffrent then whats listed in the database and the above post.

[grunthos]

In several waves, often two groups at once.

Pithias Revolter x 4
Pithi Plunderer x 3
Pithi Despoiler x 4
Pithatis Enforcer x 14
Pithatis Executor x 10
Pithum Abolisher x 2
Pithatis Death Dealer
Pithior Anarchist x 3
Dire Pithum Inferno x 2
Pithatis Assassin x 1
Pithior Nihilist x 5
Pithi Demolisher x 2
Dire Pithum Inferno x 4
Pithior Guerilla x 1
Caldari Stasis Tower

I could not get to all the wrecks before they disappeared, but got about 3.1m in salvage and 1.6m in recyclables and 1.2m in mission reward.

Also, the favour gain for the agent was 8.8%.

It took about 2 hours to complete, had a single step (many waves), so is hard to get to all wrecks.

Suggested approach is warp in, kill tower and as much as possible, bookmark something, warp in at range...rinse and repeat.

Or bring lots of friends. Or a battleship (I used a drake).

It`s not so hard guys. I`ve done it couple of times in T1 fitted Raven. Character SP `bout 3mln.

Low: 3 BCU 2 x PDS
Mid: XL C5-L, 2 active hardeners, Conjunctive Gravimetric ECCM Scanning Array I ,F-90 Positional Sensor Subroutines , Heavy electrochemical (4 x 800 cap in launcher)
High : 6x xt-9000 cruise , e500 NOS, Tractor beam
cargo : 16 x 800 Cap boosters, missiles in the rest
Solution is simple: align, keep rats in distance, shoot

Never had to warp out, but path of wrecks always is 250km+ long...

This mission is pretty easy, but i tooks a lot of time. I did it more than one time in my Drake. My Char is just before 18 mio sp's. Do a passive Shieldtank as follows:

Highs:
7 x Heavy Msl Launcher II (or use malkuth for better pg)
1 x Tractor Beam
Meds:
3 x Large Shield Extender (use named)
1 x Invu Field II (or V-M 15 named invu)
2 x Shield Recharger II (or use named)
Lows:
2 x Shield Power Relay II (or use named)
2 x BCS II (or use BCS I)

Drone Bay:
5 x Hornet II (or I)

Warp in at 0m. Stop while doing to warp. Warp to 50 km. That brings your out to 50 km's away from the enemy. The Drake is passiv tanked, so you regen 183 shield/sec (for tech I items a little bit fewer). It's ok for tanking the respawns. they respawn about 100 km's away. so, your shield is up again, if the next spawn arrives. the trigger is every time the unique named ship in the spawn! take this ship last! use the drones for the frigs and destroyers! beware to take aggro first and bring your drones back to drone bay before each spawn.

Did this mission some times before for guristas and as enemy had concord ships. that was much harder! enemy guristas is VERY EASY

sry. recharge was with rigs. recharge without rigs is at 93 per second. but its ok!

Thought I would share my experience.

[1] Caldari Statis Tower

[4][Battlecruiser] Pithatis Executor

Hint: I would warp in at 0m and destroy the stasis tower to avoid getting webbed. Destroy each wave leaving the trigger for last. I would suggest tanking the trigger first before starting the next group to give your cap time to recharge.

It may be different for everyone, but this is what I got. Oh and most of the loot was crap.

[big_ipaq]

Exactly what I got. I could not survive for more than 3 minutes there with my Tech 1 Drake. Any ideas? I mean, what tanking should I use? I use Scourge Heavy Missiles in 7 launchers, but they are shooting at me from 100+ kms, and with all 7 launchers I could not kill a mortifier from 45 km.

Any help would be highly apreciated.

[big_ipaq]

I did it. Now I am salvaging... I got more than 5 milions in bounty prizes.
