Last night, I finally had the time to take on level 4 Serpentis Extravaganza. I prepared my ship for the type of damage it would receive, loaded up on ammo, and undocked. It is a fairly long 3 pocket mission with lots of incoming damage, but I was able to tank it all and knock off the ships and groups one by one. Below is the fitting I used on my Dominix to complete the mission:
Low slots:
- Radioisotope Thermic Hardener I
- Radioisotope Thermic Hardener I
- Radioisotope Kinetic Hardener I
- Radioisotope Kinetic Hardener I
- Damage Control II
- Large Armor Repairer II
- Large Armor Repairer II
Mid slots:
- 100MN Afterburner II
- Cap Recharger II
- Cap Recharger II
- Cap Recharger II
- Cap Recharger II
High slots:
- Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun
- Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun
- Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun
- Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun
- Drone Link Augmentor I
- Drone Link Augmentor I
Rigs:
- Capacitor Control Circuit I
- Capacitor Control Circuit I
- Capacitor Control Circuit I
Drones:
- Ogre I x5
- Hammerhead II x5
- Hobgoblin II x5
- Warden I x5
I only had to turn on both armor repairers in the last part of the mission. Other then that I had no problems tanking all of the damage. Even with my low skills, I took down the battleships fairly quickly. My drones were doing most of the damage. My guns almost seemed like a waste of time and ammo. After I work up my drone skills to t2 sentries and heavies, I’ll have to work on my poor gunnery skills.
Last night was also the first time I used an alt at the same time as my main. The alt was the salvager/looter. It worked out well except that I forgot about all of those ancillary skills which make life good on my main; targeting, cap skills, navigation skills.
All in all, the mission and looting took about 3 hours. I earned almost 5000 loyalty points, 12 million ISK in bounties and 2.5 million in mission rewards. The salvage looks like about 10 million, and the loot is another 10 million.
