[BarmaLINI]

Mission Name : Retribution
Agent Level : 3
Enemy : Serpentis
Mission Type : DeadSpace

Link : http://eveinfo.com/missions/163

Briefing :
Today is a day of mourning, ***. One of our most esteemed officers was brutally murdered by Serpentis scum. He had been in the forefront of our campaign to rid Minmatar Republic space of those filthy pirate dogs, and now he is dead. We will miss his services to Republic Fleet greatly, and I hope to see you at his funeral, ***.

Now to the point. This great injustice demands retribution, and you will be the deliverer of our wrath. We know of a Serpentis Outpost lurking in the fringes of ***, and you are to find it and destroy it. I'll supply you to a bookmark that should take you to an acceleration gate leading to it. Once there, your task is to completely obliterate their base. However be warned, their outpost is heavily guarded, I suggest you clear the guards before attempting to destroy the Outpost structure itself. Good luck.


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

It might be a variant, but I received different ships when I got Retribution (Serpentis) on 8/10/06. The spawns, which still do not attack on warp in, seem to be separated now into three groups: 2 small packs (1 of which is located right next to the armory and outpost) and 1 large pack.

I killed the small pack NOT by the armor/outpost first. Then, flew toward the armory/outpost and killed that group. This puts the large pack of ships far away from you and spread out from about 55-78KM. You can then blow the armory and get loot without the large group attacking.

Then, if you want, you can just start firing at the outpost. The large group will then start moving toward you and targeting. But by the time the first few ships arirve to start firing at you, the outpost will blow. You can then decide to let the other ships come to you, destroying them one at a time. They will all come in to less than 5,000 m. After they are all gone, you will be able to pickup cargo easy cause it is so close. Ships I encounetred were as follows:

Small Group #1: 1x Coreli Safeguard, 2x Corelum Chief Defender, 1x Corelum Chief Defender

Large Group: 2x Guardian Veteran, 1 x Corelum Chief Spy, 2x Coreli Patroller, 6x Coreli Watchman, 1x Coreli Chief Scout

Small Group #2 (by outpost/armory): 2x Coreli Protector, 1x Coreli Defender, 1x Guardian Veteran, 1x Corelatis Wingman
