They have always been possible. The zealot will hav problems with some lvl4s but I would guess it can do alot of the non deadspace ones, also the apoc might have some problems with angels due to thier crazy em/themal resist.

It's still doable. Did a Level 4 vengence last night without much issue in my domi. Some of the new ones will need handling with care, but the pre RmR ones are still doable.

L4 missions in general havent really changed. The rats just take a little longer to kill, which is offset by the fact that we have stronger tanks (new modules/25% extra hp etc).
However, I cant stress this enough. Some of the missions, both l3 and l4 are extremely tough. It seems mainly all of the newer ones. I have heard people are losing kitted out t2 bs's to a few of the l3's like tech secrets etc, and while I was running through l4's without too many problems, I hit a big bump on the new Rescue Damsel mission (zazzamatar somethin).
With a raven worth over 1 bil that solo'd angel extrav bonus pre-rmr, kitted with new mods including damage control, invul field, etc, I got completely slaughtered on the zazz mission. Wait till you see it, couple of battleships, tons of hard hitting cruisers, and at least 5 scrambling inties, plus the spider drones, you will understand what I mean.
My raven kit was: H- 5 Arb Siege 1 t2 siege 2 heavy diminishing nos M- Pith B-Type Booster, Dread gurista em & therm hardeners Dread Gurista Invul Field Dread Gurista Shield Boost Amp PWNAGE Target Painter L- 1 Dark Blood RCU 2 Power Diag II 1 Caldari Navy Ballistic 1 Damage Control I
And a full set of crystal low-grade implants
So with this my lowest resistance was EM at just under 70%, with all other resistances in the 70-80 range. I strongly urge that you only do this mission with a group of people, or a handful of WCS. ------------------------------------------ Dreadnought Production INC is recruiting Join DPI Channel Or Visit (IGB) http://www.mmorpg-online.net/intro.html |

If only it were that easy. It takes approx 10-15 seconds for spider drones to close in 100km. At this point you are webbed and scrambled. Diverting all weaponry + drones on spiders would take around 60 seconds to kill both spiders. At this point you have a swarm of interceptors around you, all webbing and scrambling you.
The only benefit to your idea, would be that you would gain an extra minute or two before the cruisers started hitting you. Which is nowhere near enough time to take down 5+ interceptors with drones+torps. ------------------------------------------ Dreadnought Production INC is recruiting Join DPI Channel Or Visit (IGB) http://www.mmorpg-online.net/intro.html |

Edited by: Parisienne on 21/12/2005 20:23:17 I think that a few missions are bugged when using drones. I can warp to a agngel extravaganza.. kill all the ones who go aggro.. fly way out of reach and draw drones and get aggroed from every single group there. even when they are 150km away.
other missions i had difficulties are that easy i even have not to turn on my rep modules on my apoc. they dont get my shields down and i'm not a sniper guy.
I have reported the issues.. but it seems that ccp does not have any interests. I'm not able to do the angel extravaganza anymore because i need to kill the frigates and i do kill them with drones. but since all go aggro at once i cant tank for long.
I have helped a guy in local he had a ishtar. there was no way we where able to do the mission. as ishtar pilot he sure used drones. but using drones will aggro all ships at once. But i guess he and me where the only one who had this issues. and who cares about 2 pilots ??
the funny thing is: a mate helping in a support ship was shot at imedeatly as he warped in. so lvl4 where supposed to be team work missions. I do lvl4 missions in team because of the fun of it. But thats now just not possible anymore. I do better alone and get group by group.. as long i dont draw drones it's working.
I would like to know if this is a bug or itended. If so lvl4 missions are solo missions. or for a group of tanks.
but devs are not commenting about this issues. therfore i must say that i like to do group actions. if that is not possible the fun to play eve is just not there anymore. I have taken my konsequences and have canceled subscription.. As soon devs are going to look at this issues i do rething about cancel the canceling the subscription. But i guess they still dont care anyway.
have fun.
cheers paris

Ive never tried it but you could probably solo most l4's in a dominix if you have really good drone skills and also fit some of the new drone modules. They have some wicked bonuses and a lot of them are midslots so they wont interfere with your tank. _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

Edited by: Valan on 21/12/2005 22:34:15 Easier than before on most level 4s, new skills and weapons make it even better. Can still solo 90% without too much pain, I don't even have to go back for ammo anymore.
To top it off they gave me a tractor beam so a slow ass BS I can actually get some loot.
Standard Raven fitting all be it mostly tech 2. (Forgive the exact names, I know what they do, EVE stats geek I'm not)
7 x Medium drones of specific damage type for the rat (tech 2).
1 x Tractor Beam. 1 x Large gun of choice for pulling spawns. 6 x Siege Launchers (tech 2).
1 x Large Shield Booster (tech 2). 1 x Shield Amplifier. 1 x Sensor Booster (tech 2). 3 x Shield hardeners of suitable type for todays mission (tech 2).
1 x Ballistic Control Unit (tech 2). 4 x Power Diagnostic Unit (tech 2).
That set up I can solo Gurista Extravaganza (which is all my agent gives me). I've never dropped below 1/4 shields and 1/4 cap and thats usually because I've kicked off 2 spawns at once. Tactics are simple. Open up on the BS, when the frigs are in close set the drones on them. Take the cruisers next, sit there patiently while the drones finish off the frigates.
EDIT: As for relying on drones oooh nooo keep those on a tight leash or the will bring untold trouble. I don't have medium drones, I have a bay full of lemmings.

I did that mission in a cerberus, the key is that when you warpin at 100km the spider drones wont aggro you. It was a gankfest

Well, sanshas and blood raiders are good missions to solo, assuming you are armour tankers, though I tried an angel suprise with a local yesterday, only to find the angels switch targets (?) and instapop the poor thorax local player. --- Order Now!

Soloed Angel Extravaganza twice yesterday, in my Dom (ofcourse it could still be a coincidence). The only problem is the Bonuslevel. 2 x Kin- , 2 x Expl, 1 x Therm and Ogre IIs. Drones killed all.

Edited by: Coren Draco on 24/12/2005 16:29:26 Not really solo, but have to answer to those that have problems even in teams
Angel Extra. I love it. Me in Raven, mate in gankageddon with 5 heavy shield repair drones All i have to do is aggro whole stage, shoot torps at BS, send my med drones t2 on the intis. I never have to use my own shield booster as 5 heavy repair drones do nicely. all the rest is done by the full gank-a-geddon ;) Just make sure u kill the BS first. Otherwise it can get ugly... :)

To get back at the ops question ...
I wouldnt rule out the sacrilege for lvl 4 missions anymore. The changes to heavy missiles and light drones may result in this ship owning 30k frigates pretty good, and thats the only thing stopping a zealot from having a walk in the park with lvl 4 missions. I know the damage sucks, but if you have good skills this ship might be worth a try, and if only to clear out the cruisers and frigs so your zealot can bbq the bs in peace. Definitly better than loosing your zealot to half a dozen 30k frigs with long range bs support .

I can solo all the old ones. Of the new ones I've only done 'in the midst of deadspace' 1/5, but it was extremely easy.
The tank of a mission dominix is very, very strong. With t2 hardeners you can get your resistances over 90%. That, or a dual-rep setup makes it very hard for npcs to take down. Plus, lights and mediums are now superb for getting rid of support frigates. Domi got quite a boost with the drone changes so far as missions go.

I highly doubt that, maybe some missions are very hard for specialized ships, but i have yet to see a mission you couldnt do by switching to a more suited ship. Even those i struggle with atm(having to fight lots of amarr and caldari BS and cruisers in deadspace) could be easily done by just switching to a sniping setup or a armor tanking ship(i fly shield tank), and thats the toughest mission i have seen yet.
