Tips
- Mission occurs in normal space, so you can always warp to distances and to bookmarks farther away from the NPCs.
- Your first warp attempt will be a forced Warp to 0. Even if you select Warp to 100 you will arrive at the Warp-In Beacon
- Try selecting warp, canceling your warp, then warping to your desired distance
- Warping to within 100km leaves plenty of distance that spreads out the aggro
- Cruise Missile Batteries have a maximum range of 170km, and the Carrier’s NOS has a maximum range of 150km
- Fighters will immediately attack your drones when they spawn from the Carrier, but this can be used to your advantage
- Small Drones are invulnerable to the Fighters, as long as they are moving/attacking; and they are a great way to draw-off the Fighters aggro. Have your small drones attacking the carrier when the fighters spawn.
- The Fighters are only be able to hit Large and Medium drones
- Mission is flagged complete when the Carrier and Fighters are destroyed. You do not need to destroy the Cap Ship Maint Array
CategoryLevel5
This was definitely overkill levels of tank. 1 resist / 1 tri-LRAR II would have been fine.
Killing the second of 4 dominators caused the extra BS spawn of 2 martyrs.
As an alternative to light drones against fighters, sit 0 km from carrier and RR your drones.
