Tip

Mission is flagged completed after Group 1 has spawned.
Don't forget to pickup the Quafe from the Warehouse.
Dune Conal will attack drones or support ships.

Tip

To do this mission non blitz and control range (ideal for sniper setups) follow these steps:
Warp to location in a shuttle & drop a bookmark
Approach the warehouse until the first spawn arrives, warp out dock up and swap to your combat vessel
Warp to your bookmark at any chosen range, destroy all spawns
Collect the goods from the warehouse, job done.

Note: It's a really bad idea to try to collect the goods before you've destroyed the spawns. Warping out from the tangle of objects can be impossible.

Blitz

Method 1 (Buy From Market)
Buy the needed goods (Quafe Ultra)
Put the Quafe in the hanger (where the mission agent is), then accept the mission.
Warp to mission and fly towards Warehouse until Group 1 spawns.
Warp out and close the mission with the agent.

Method 2 (Fast Ship)
Warp to the mission in a shuttle or very fast (super tanked) frigate with AB (as MWD does not work). An assault frigate is ideal for this.
Open your cargo hold and approach the warehouse at full speed.
Be ready to open the warehouse and drag the item to your cargo hold. Quickly warp out.

Trigger is the second Corellum Chief Infantry that you shoot. There were still other kinds of cruiser flying around when I shot it and it spawned.

-- ArkanDjeru (2008-07-17 19:51:03)

As of 8/29/2008 the group one spawn was 3 cruisers 2 battlecruisers and 2 battleships (Core Port Admirals) and 1 elite frigate.

-- CptUnreal (2008-08-27 23:02:33)

Blitzed this in a Vagabond with partial nanos and T2 afterburner. Took almost no damage getting the cargo. However, I could not warp out as soon as I got the cargo. I was not scrambled, but I got a message saying that something was causing "interference." I punched in the afterburners and got about 10 clicks out from the warehouse and was then able to warp.

-- KaelStarfly (2008-09-19 21:43:36)

There are several ships that can drain energy from your cap if you aren't paying attention. I lost my Megathron to this mission because I was careless and let my drones cause the extra 6 battleships to spawn. Then I didn't have the cap to keep my armor repairers going and to warp out.

-- ProteusCronus (2008-10-04 22:49:13)

Just killed them all, 11 mill total (mission, bounty,salvaging)
First step on in Drake, second - Raven (7 BS).

-- UginSecond (2009-03-08 13:30:51)

Also, there's 60 Veldspar asteroids in there, in a huge 60 kms wide circle, random amounts from 15K to 65K, totalling roughly 2M270K of Veldspar.

-- KeryNysell (2009-03-21 13:32:50)

UPD:
Group 2 have a 4 Elite Cruisers.
Group 2 dont aggro on drones.

-- UginSecond (2009-03-25 02:33:15)

A warehouse really in 2.8 km after warping to the pocket.
Group 1 changed to :
1 BS, 2x Battlecruiser (Corelatis Captain Sentry), 1 Elite Frigate, 1Cruiser (Corelum Chief Infantry) -Trigger,1x Elite Cruiser (Corelum Guardian Chief Guard)
Group 2 :
4x Elite Cruisers (Corelum Guardian Chief Defender)
3x BS Core Port Admiral
2x BS Core Rear Admiral
1x BS Dune Conal

-- UginSecond (2009-03-28 02:21:28)

Make sure you're clear of the warehouse area prior to Group 2 warping in, as you can get tangled in the stuff around it. Heavy DPS and delayed warp out can be embarrassing. Also warping out and back puts the heavies at 60-70 km, suggest ignore the elites and concentrate on the heavies keeping them at distance. Don't worry about bonus if you're running out of time, the bounty on the 4 Elites is a mil between them.

-- LioNess (2009-04-06 04:31:24)

Warp in is now back to 30km from warehouse...musta fixed on the patch.

-- AleniaCalentas (2009-04-08 12:57:06)

Warped in at 1400m from the warehouse today. Got tangled up in the junk as a result. Could be a problem if you try to blitz this in a shuttle.

-- NathairNimheil (2009-04-09 10:28:02)

Patch changed it back to 35km warpin.

-- ForteEXE (2009-04-19 04:21:43)

Just completed this mission (again)... On warp-in (@34km), group 1 had already spawned. Not sure if this was a recent change runners should be aware of or just a glitch for me. One of the frigs also webbed, makes the journey to the warehouse a little more interesting. :)

-- Peon155 (2009-05-13 09:28:03)

I had the first spawn already present when I warped in too, and I recieved a "mission complete" update in my Journal as soon as I was out of warp.

-- KeryNysell (2009-05-20 15:52:49)

Just had this mission and the first spawn appeared after I got to within 16km of the Warehouse.

-- BringerOfDeath (2009-06-08 05:46:12)

I blitzed this in a very fast (un-tanked) T1 Executioner with 1 MN AB I. As long as you aren't asleep at the wheel, you can warp away fast.

-- UsedcarSalesman (2009-06-15 15:40:46)

I did with crow, very easy.. mostly blitz but took out a couple just for shiggles

-- Broosr1 (2009-06-16 23:11:02)

blitzed this in a newb ship with nothing but a T1 1MN Afterburner equipped. Warped in, clicked the warehouse, clicked Approach, turned on AB, looted Quafe Ultra when i got within 2500m, warped out and docked at the station. Got targeted, but never shot once. Total time to do mission: about 2 minutes or less.

-- AleciumZaber (2009-07-15 19:15:48)

Just completed it with a salvage destroyer with T2 afterburner. Didn't even get below shields.

-- ElXycon (2009-07-20 13:03:16)

-At a distance, take a moment to make a straight-line warpout before making your run towards the warehouse. Make sure your warpout line isn't blocked; as long as you pass within pickup range, that's plenty. Spawns happen about 15km away. You can do this in a shuttle and take no damage and also pick up the quafe in passing.
-Just had an interesting echo of Peon155's above--certainly makes completing it in a shuttle a bit more problematic. After swinging past, my pod and I bought some quafe and a new shuttle. May start planning to kill everything in the future. They seem to be asking for it.
-On the other hand, shuttle technique has worked multiple times since.

-- JackUnderhill (2009-08-23 16:12:24)

Pocket 1: Read the guide. Manage agro Take out the jammers first. (normal difficulty).

-- MrT (2009-09-15 13:54:58)

There are BS's using neuts in this mission, nearly lost my ship cause i wasn't paying attention. Be Careful...

-- DeviousDan (2009-10-26 06:23:35)

Just ran this after Dominion. Ships spawned at 16km as usual, not at warp in.

-- KalmaNaka (2009-12-02 10:06:19)

Just ran it again. Ships spawned at 16km. There might be a new trigger if they all spawned at warp-in for someone.

-- KalmaNaka (2009-12-03 10:35:05)

Confirmed...no ships at warp in. Appeared at 16km

-- InZax (2009-12-09 21:31:07)

Ships present at warp in.

-- JackHolt (2009-12-10 18:20:01)

no ships present at warp in. 16km

-- RussLee (2009-12-20 15:35:08)

No ships were present when I warped in. They spawned when I got within 16 km of the warehouse.

-- KuruValthaliondil (2009-12-26 13:23:56)

Spawn 1 present at warp-in, instant aggro. Range between 12-30k.

-- KhanaLoaris (2010-01-07 20:47:30)

Spawn 1 was not present at warp-in.

-- EagleHawkstrike (2010-01-14 01:14:33)

No ships were present when I warped in. They spawned when I got within 16 km of the warehouse. Destroyed all the crap around the warehouse.

-- BalaNah (2010-01-17 16:54:57)

Dune Conal is usually a Lord Admiral, but sometimes a Grand Admiral.

-- ForteEXE (2010-01-21 13:07:36)

MAJOR WEBBING! My Drake dropped from 457 m/s to 42.5 m/s. Tank held and momentum still got me there. (Blitz)

-- AusDog (2010-03-09 12:28:51)

I did the mission quite easily in my Raven - mostly tech I fitted. Not too much trouble. According to EFT with a damage profile for sperpentis that I got somewhere, my burst defence efficiency, with the setup listed below is 753DPS burst and 411 DPS sustained. Therefore, I propose that there is a fair amount of the old DPS coming in, since my defence was struggling.

This is what I was using
Hi Slots
6 x XT Cruise launchers with wrath cruise missiles.
1 x Drone link aug
Low Slots
2 x Ballistic control system II
3 x Capacitor Flux Coil II

Mid Slots
2 x Ditrigonal thermal barrier crystalization - shield hardner
2 x non-intertial ballistic deflection field - shield hardners
1 x CL5 X-Large shield booster
1 x Shield Boost Amplifier I

Rigs
3 x Large Cap Control Circuit

-- RentBoyUk (2010-04-08 09:30:37)

Wiped out spawn 1 in a Drake. Then I decided it was taking too long, so I came back in a manticore and just nuked all the BS. I never got hit once, and it was very fun, although a bit risky, as the full gank setup (painters, web) had only about 1k EHP.

-- CoriolisMeissner (2010-04-11 22:23:28)

Easy to blitz in rookie ship, w/ AB + Overdrive.

-- IrodEllen (2010-07-22 23:26:27)

got this mission first time, never had this one before. done in a sleipnir now.
was very easy. but good bounty and loot.
and i had no drone aggro in hole mission.
killing all the dampers first (see abow) helped very well!
no other ew-crap from the enemies.
this dune conal bs is very fast for its ship class!
one of the bs drops "reinforced metal scraps" its not sell-able at the market.
only in contract. never seen this befor. any one knows for what its good for?
