Briefing :
Its those damned rogue drones again! They never seem to get enough! This time its big. Two of our main mining facilities in the system have been completely overrun by rogue drones. If you can go clear them out perhaps we can save some of the miners and perhaps even the facilities themselves. Please don't fail me on this one, those facilities provide a large portion of both our incomes and it would be a big loss to both of us if they were lost.
Please post your impressions about this mission. Also you can post (share) your views, hints, tips, tactics and etc.. _________________ [PsiCorp]

I did this mission in a domi with 82 em, 10exp, 72 kine, 84 therm resis and was doing fine till i hit the last stage and encountered the Drone controllers and they began hitting me for 100-120 dmg( they where close to me 10k) this i couldnt tank so i re-fitted to a exp hardener and they then hit for 50ish so just a warning to watch for the exp damage. Also with the domi when you engage one group they all attacked me.

This mission is dealable with a well fitted BRUTIX and good skills. A Medium Armor Repairer II is a must. Just the Drone Controllers forced me to warp out 4 times at the end.
the drones seem to change each spawn now if your farming the mission be aware that you won't face the same one's each time it respawns at DT.
Also past 40km you don't agro everything at once. I fly out to 40km+ from the nearest drones and take out those irrating drone structures, then you can easily get each spawn solo most of the time.
If your in a good tank you can agro the first 2 spawns and use EMP Smartbombs to take out the Scrambler drones to make the rest of the mission doable solo.

Just aggro the first two groups after you have set a course to fly away from the drone structure, kill what is closest first and you will pwn the mish easily.
The drone controllers do hardly any damage beyond 30k _________________

Question: I think I have read somewhere, that you could harvest this mission? Like going in, take out the drones, return later and they are respawned again? So you can take loot and loot again?
You can farm the mission. Don't accomplish the mission objectives, means don't touch the drone bunkers in stage 2. Then the drones will be back after each downtime. I don't farm missions anyway, just finish and loot them, then go on to the next mission. However, you can. That's why they reduced the loot in drone missions .... _________________ Greetz,

Tnx for the answer. It's just so much, it runs in the millions per taking out the drones. Monetary the mission is no big deal, but again, the loot... _________________ Greetz,

It used to be around 25m worth of alloys before they nerfed it, now it's worth 10-15m. You can do the missions within 20 minutes.
You'd need some nice lvl 4 agents in near systems to farm missions, otherwise you'de be sitting around waiting for the next downtime so that you can continue. And even if you've got 4 agents you could earn max. 60m per day collecting drone loot. I'm sure a good lvl 4 mission runner can earn more if he just completes the mission and continues, because you get rewards, bonus, more loot and last but not least your LP for agent offers.
But it's your decision . _________________ Greetz,

But I am not rich, just started with lvl 4 missions, and some of them are very hard for me. Only recently I read up about tanking & hardeners...
So the drone missions I can do easily, and since I have 2 lvl 4 agents in-system... I'll wait out this dronemission and get other missions from my 2nd agent. Don't know what to do if SHE offers me a dronemission as well... _________________ Greetz,

Did this mission yesterday and got all loots worth about 13mil, and the mission reward is like 3.3m (L4 Q=+13 SS=0.5). Quite a nice mission for ISK as it isn't very hard.
If you go and mine the things leave jetcans, make sure you make a new one and transfer everything before you move. Mine at another spot with a new jetcan until an hour goes by, you should have a good amount by now. Bookmark location, complete mission, fly back to cans with hauler and pickup. You avoid having to warp to thru jumpgates when retrieveing and go straight to can when doing this.
I f you still want to mine, do what you have to do just my way _________________ "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" - Ben Franklin
Serious loot nerfage as of this posting date. Total loot after processing was about 3M. The mission is very short, easy and gives good LP, but I don't think I'll get the loot next time.
