- Multiple spawns through triggers
- Frigs will only target paint you
- First spawn has two or three triggers, BC tribuni & Angel frig ... and possible cruiser trigger.
- Total of 4 or 5 waves
- Killing last Tribuni in first wave triggers cruiser, bc, 1 BS wave
- Killing last Angel frig in first wave spawns cruiser, destroyer, frig wave
- Killing last Cruiser in first wave might spawn a new wave(?)
- Possible trigger: Gist warlord (from wave following Tribuni trigger wave 1)
- Mission completed after killing Gist Domination Nephilim (& Saint?)(Blitz)
- Total BS count: 2 Gist Throne; 3 Gist Seraphim; 1 Gist Cherubim; 1 Gist Domination Saint; 1 Gist Domination Nephilim; 1 Gist Warlord
- Total bounty ~14M
Suggestion:
- BS's deal a lot of damage, so take it easy on killing triggers
- 1st wave, kill triggers starting with frigs, (cruisers), bc to keep it easy
Courier mission
- Shuttle or any other preferred ship is fine.
Expect a constant stream of kinetic damage from heavy missiles.
Ailion Boufin loves to target drones -nothing else. I stuck a fast one in orbit around him to keep him occupied while I worked the other combatants. I didn't have enough fire power to take Ailion Boufin out first. I had to wipe out all of the other ships first and then get in his face.
