3 : Unauthorized Military Presence (Guristas Pirates)

[BarmaLINI]

Mission Name : Unauthorized Military Presence
Agent Level : 3
Enemy : Guristas Pirates
Mission Type : Kill

Link : http://eveinfo.com/missions/131

Briefing :
We've spotted an unauthorized Guristas Pirate personnel transport ship flying through ***. Cargo scanners revealed a load of militants on board, no doubt a part of a ground force intended to strike a target near here. We don't know where they are headed or what they're up to, but we definitely want to find out. I request that you intercept the transport and capture the men on board. Bring them back to us for questioning.
We believe the escort team is split up into a few groups. If you strike fast and hard, you'll probably avoid setting swarmed by them all at once. Just keep a look out for any stray ships, we don't want them escaping back to their homebase to report the incident.


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

My recent experiences with this mission have been radically different from the one currently listed in the DB.

---

First spawn, 1 group:

3x Pithi Saboteur (6,375 bounty)
1x Pithi Despoiler (6,000 bounty)

Structures with loot: None

>>Gateway<<

Second spawn, 3 groups:

Group 1 (aggros on warp-in):

1x Pithum Mortifier (68,438 bounty)
1x Pithum Murderer (51,563 bounty)
2x Pithum Killer (45,938 bounty)
1x Guristas Personnel Transport (25,000 bounty)
1x Pithi Destructor (8,250 bounty)
4x Pithi Saboteur (6,375 bounty)


Group 2 (aggros while fighting Group 1):

1x Pithum Nullifier (62,813 bounty)
3x Pithum Silencer (37,500 bounty)
1x Pithi Saboteur (6,375 bounty)
3x Pithi Despoiler (6,000 bounty)


Group 3 (no aggro, was optional for me; one of the other groups dropped the mission objective):

1x Pithum Annihilator (57,188 bounty)
2x Pithum Ascriber (43,125 bounty)
1x Pithum Silencer (37,500 bounty)
2x Pithi Saboteur (6,375 bounty)
2x Pithi Despoiler (6,000 bounty)


Structures with loot: None

Other notes:
Quite a few asteroids with Veldspar, Pyroxeres and Plagioclase.
If you're not very well-tanked against Kinetic damage, you're probably going to be in trouble once group 2 aggros. With a good tank, it's no big deal.

Here's a picture I snagged after warping to the second spawn:

I can confirm this. Although the ship types seem to vary slightly (I got 3 despoilers and 1 saboteur in the first spawn), the overall mission has indeed changed to what is posted above.

I was asked to bring only 10 marines back; everything else checks out.

Same here got the pithi. The same resists and damage work but the mission DB is wrong.

I'm doing this mission at the moment, but I cant find the convoy. I left it for about a day before going to the place specified in the journal and the convoy isnt there.

any ideas?

try shooting at some of the structures -- I ahven't had that problem but in other missions you have to shoot up a structure
