Revelations 1.4 mission change..

Initial Spawn 3 EoM Hydra (Battleship) 3 EoM Crusader (Cruiser)

The cruisers are the spawn triggers. Paths found listed below.

Group 1 & 2:

Crusader (Cr) > 2 Death Knights (Cr) > Hydra (BS) > Hydra, Ogre (BS) > EoM Death Lord (BS)

Group 3:

Crusader (Cr) > 2 Death Knights (Cr) > Hydra (BS) + 2 Saboteur (Frig)> Hydra, Ogre (BS) > EoM Death Lord (BS)

Kill the first three battleships, then kill one Crusader at a time, followed by one of the Death Knights that spawn. Then follow along the spawn paths taking out the Battleships that spawn tanking the remaining cruisers till each EoM Death Lord is dead.

Kill the remaining Death Knight and then take on the next Crusader Cruiser...rinse and repeat

DMG Taken: Kinetic/Thermal
DMG to Use: Kinetic

The above post is perfect and I also had that encounter.

Having a buddy in a cap-stable shield boosting osprey makes this the easiest mission ever. Sit back and grab a bite to eat at the same time.

Machida's post is nearly perfect, cause i had nearly all the same spawn, except that when i killed the last Death Knight i had an Hydra AND two Saboteurs(frigs, probably scramble).

I guess there is some chance to have that spawn.

Thanx for the rundown, it helped me a lot.

The mission is as described by Machida above but the briefing I got was:

We have reports of terrorists wrecking havoc in ***...

It was not clear what was the enemy... Came out to be EoM.

It's an easy mission with bounties of about 10mil and the refined loot outputs minerals for more then 15mil. Considering the salvaged materials as well this makes it one of the most profitable easy missions out there.

Did it with an armor tanked Typhoon with siege launchers and heavy drones for about 40min. The saboteurs webb and scram but that was not really a problem...

[Trojanman190]

I got the exact same mission as the previous poster. Was a little scarey at first cuz I saw amaar ships, left, refitted for em and thermal and came back. They basically fight exactly like guristas with the same damage and everything.

I also did it in an armor tanked phoon.

[nihilist]

After all is done...

2x Saboteur
3x Crusader
6x Death Knight
9x Hydra
3x Ogre
3x Death Lord

Note: don't kill all the cruisers at once, they cause the BSs to spawn. I ended up spawning pretty much everything at once.

correction on the previous post, killing the cruisers spawns more cruisers, killing the battleships spawns more battleships. It's quite hard to avoid the ships that spawn more as 75% of them do.

Definately NOT a good mission for drones, with the constant respawns they get targetted every other minute. I don't usually bother releasing mine.

I find the best way to finish this mission is set for max damage, tank kinetic (they spew kinetic heavy, cruise and torp), warp in at 70km(this is not a deadspace mission), then pick them off as they come towards you.
