Mission Goal

I met with Audalle Roire, the Sinq Laison Regional Director for Impetus. His assistant, Eron Viette, told me where I could find him. As soon as I arrived at his offices, we were ambushed by another pack of Pator 6 combat vessels, who I can only guess followed me to the location. I secured the area, but the Director didn’t seem too pleased. He has referred me back to Eron, who can help me now that the Director is aware of what I’m after.

Tips and Help

Fly toward the npc ship about 40km from the warp in. Once you reach it, the Pator 6 cruisers and the mercenary elite wingmen/thugs will spawn. Over the next 60 seconds, 10 Mercenary Overlords will spawn. All spawns are within 20km of the player's location. The initial proximity, massive dps, webs from the frigates and painters from the cruisers make speedtanking iimpossible. The most straightforward way to clear this mission is to fit a sniper battleship with a Micro Jump Drive. The majority of the damage is kin/therm.

Requires GREAT omnitank, watch for scram, stream of battleships. Destroy the frigates and cruisers first, the Battleships appear to only do kinetic/therm so once the smaller stuff is out of the way you can optimize your tank.

Carry out reconnaissance, warp to 10km in a cloaked ship (I used a Helios with cov-ops cloak), approach Audelle Roire to trigger the spawns, then when everything has arrived warp back to the station to get your warship, then warp back at your preferred range (I sniped from 100km) and give the foe a thorough beating.
