The Kidnapping
[important]
- Estimated ISK: 60,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 1
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
This is a simple mission that will only
take a moment. You’re only up against a
few frigates here, so all you’ll need to do
is tackle these and loot the VIPs and
that’s all there is to this one.
The Mordus
Headhunters
- Estimated ISK: 4,000,000
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 2
- Pirates Attack after Warp: No
- Shortcut: Yes (and you will want to
take it)
This mission is hard. Most level 4
missions are easier than this. Luckily this
mission does have a shortcut and you
better take it. You’ll need to be in a
Battleship with kinetic/thermal resistance
and kinetic if you have a third slot – come
prepared to tank for step area 2.
Area 1: There are several cruises and
frigates (about 15) spread out into 3
groups – this area is quite easy to get
through.
Area 2: Nothing aggroes upon entry.
Fly away from them and when you’re a
good distance away, fire away. It makes
no difference which pirate you fire at,
everything here will begin attacking you
(and there are 35 ships, roughly). You’ll
likely have to warp out and back in again a
time or two just to take them all down.
Shortcut: This mission actually only
requires you to take down 2 Lions and 3
Leopards. Target those 5 and take them
down as quickly as you can. This will
allow you to simply complete the mission
without hacking through the other 30 or so
pirates to finish up – unless you want to, of
course.
The Blockade
- Estimated ISK: 900,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 5
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
This is a fun mission with a good
payout – the best part is that the pirates
come to you. Warning: If you have a
tendency to lag in Eve-Online, this
mission will lag you up and may cause
you to lose your ship. It’s best to decline
this mission if you’re using a slow
processor or are on a slow connection.
Initial: 1 stasis (webbing) tower and 8
frigates. Take out the tower and beat
down the frigates. After you take out
about half or a little more, the first wave
will come.
Wave 1: 9 more ships will come to the
aid of their friends, and they’ll warp in
about 100km away from where you
jumped in. It’s a mixture of Cruiser and
battlecruisers mostly, with a couple of
frigates thrown into the mix. Take out the
remainder of the initial group while you
wait on these guys to get within your
range and to keep from getting
overwhelmed.
Wave 2: 7 battlecruisers, a couple of
heavy assault cruisers, and handful of
frigates will come in this wave at about
100km again. Like before, wipe out the
remainder of the first wave before
proceeding to this one. It’s always best to
let them come to you since the closer you
are to where they warp in at, the closer
you are the next wave that’ll be coming.
Wave 3: 2 cruiser, 6 battlecruisers, and
3 heavy assault cruisers this time, so
you’re not working against any frigates on
this wave at least. Use the same method as
before. Take out the cruisers first, then the
battlecruisers, then the heavy assaults, to
keep the damage taken to a minimum.
When you’re down to the last pirate or
two, move away from the jump-in point.
Wave 4: The final wave consists of 4
battlecruisers and 4 frigates that spawn
about 20km from the jump-in point. This
is an easy ending to what can be a
dangerous, yet entertaining, mission.
The Black Market Hub
- Estimated ISK: 1,100,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: Docked
Bestower
- Number of Steps: 2
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
Area 1: 4 Cruise Missile batteries are
sitting roughly 60km out, and they won’t
aggro unless you move within 40km. 6
Cruiser and 6 frigates compose the groups
here, and it’s best to just wipe out
everything as quickly as you can – starting
with the frigates.
Area 2: 2 Sentry guns will attack you
upon arriving. There are only 4 cruisers
here that you’ll need to take down. Then
just blow up the docked bestower, take the
cargo, and leave. You can’t shortcut this
mission by heading straight to the
bestower – destroying the pirates is part of
the mission.
Success Comes at a
Price
- Estimated ISK: 200,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 1
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
There’s only one area here. 2 light
missile batteries are here, but are
negligible. There are 4 cruisers and your
target – so just take those down and you’re
done. This mission is surprisingly easy and
quick – which explains the low ISK
payout.
The Angel Cartel
Spies
- Estimated ISK: 200,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: Munitions
Storage
- Number of Steps: 1
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
A group of 4 cruisers and 3 frigates is
all you’re facing here. This is an easy
mission with another low pay-out. The
munitions storage unit here has a
tendency to only drop small ammunition,
so it’s not particularly worth wasting
your ammunition on.
Smuggler Interception
- Estimated ISK: 500,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: Warehouse
(your target), Silo
- Number of Steps: 2
- Pirates Attack after Warp: No
- Shortcut: Yes
Area 1: 10 Frigates and 2 cruisers are
here, split into two groups (1 group of 6
frigates, the rest in the other group);
rather simple area.
Area 2: 12 frigates, 8 cruisers, and 2
transport ships here. They’re split into 3
groups, so you can take out the left side,
right side, then center; vice-versa; or all
at once – the method isn’t important.
Once you’ve destroyed them, blow up the
warehouse and take your loot. The silo
here has some loot as well, but it’s
usually just ammunition and the
occasional weapon or two.
Shortcut: Warp in and head straight for
the warehouse; blow it up, take the
cargo, and leave.
Stop the Thief
- Estimated ISK: 450,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 1
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
This is an incredibly simple mission that
feels much more like a level 2 than a 3.
Your target is in a small interceptor with 5
mercenary cruisers accompanying him.
Just take down all 6 targets and the
mission is complete. It’s best to take down
the commanders first before the thief so
that you’re minimizing damage taken.
Sabotage the Supply
Line
- Estimated ISK: 500,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 4
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
This is a surprisingly easy mission
considering there’s 4 areas involved.
Area 1: 1 cruiser, 6 Tech 1 frigates, 2
Tech II frigates, and a transport ship await
you here.
Area 2: 5 frigates and a Cruiser this
time.
Area 3: 3 little frigates here.
Area 4: Simply 2 cruisers.
7.1.25 Sabotaged
- Estimated ISK: 500,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: None
- Number of Steps: 4
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
Area 1: You’ll initially warp to the
destination and find distressed comrades -
do not attack ANY of these people.
They will give you 3 more locations
you’ll need to warp to. In one of these
areas (usually the last one you warp to,
regardless of the order you go in, has the
item you’re after.
Area 2: 3 Cruisers here and that’s it.
Area 3: 2 Cruisers and 5 Tech 1
frigates.
Area 4: 1 Cruiser and 2 Tech 1
Frigates.
Serpentis
Extravaganza
- Estimated ISK: 4,000,000
- Structures with Loot: None worth
mentioning
- Number of Steps: 3
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
This is one of the easier extravaganza
missions, though a little time consuming
since there are several ships packed into
a few areas instead of being spread out
over several areas. It still pays well
however.
Area 1: 3 light missile batteries greet
you when you warp in. There are 23
other ships here including a few webbers
that you’ll need to take down quickly to
avoid too much damage.
Area 2: There are 5 sentry guns here
and a single cruiser and all will aggro once
you arrive. Take down the sentries as soon
as possible, then the cruiser.
Area 3: 19 ships are in this area,
including your target, which is flying a
battlecruiser. The other 18 ships are
separated into two groups, so just finish
those off first.
Silence the Informant
- Estimated ISK: 600,000 ISK
- Structures with Loot: Pleasure Hub
- Number of Steps: 3
- Pirates Attack after Warp: Yes
- Shortcut: No
Area 1: Two drones will initially attack
you; another group of 8 drones is quite a
distance away – all need to be dispatched.
Area 2: This area is consisted of
mercenaries. There are two groups here;
group 1 has 2 cruisers and 2 frigates;
group 2 has 3 cruisers and 2 frigates.
Area 3: There are 4 sentry guns here
that attack immediately, along with your
target. Take out him and the sentries, and
you’re done – though the sentries are not
required to be destroyed.
