Sabotage 101
If you are not good at manual piloting, refit for travel (or use your scout alt). Warp in and enter the mine field. Approach to the gate while activating MWD only for 1 cycle if you have it and then slowboating. After clearing the way refit for kiting.
Otherwise try to stay 7km away from any mines in the mine field.
Enter the final pocket. Load Navy Scourge. Kill Taibu State Shuriken first because it jams, then Taibu State Suriage. Burn to the container while killing 2 destroyers (not all 3). Loot the container and go back to the agent.
Upward Momentum
Refit for travel and travel.
Miscommunication
Replace the hardeners of your travel fit with AB and the data analyzer given (while still carrying your kiting fit). Warp in, orbit the can at 3500m and hack it quickly. Looting is optional. Remotely complete and accept the next mission.
Fuel Gauge
Find a place to refit for kiting. Load Navy Scourge. Warp in. Kill the stasis tower first if you have problem tanking, but this will inflict a -0.24 standing loss to Caldari. Then kill everything else while approaching to the gate. Load Scourge Fury. In the first pocket, destroy all 3 fuel depots and bookmark a wreck.
Knock out Punch
Get into the shuttle given, insure it. Warp in, approach and activate gate. Loot the container, activate gate. Approach the carrier, wait for your ship to explode. Bookmark the wreck.
Choose Threat Assessment
Threat Assessment
Refit for Travel. Go to loot the battleship and carrier wrecks bookmarked before first. Then travel.
Dread Pirates
Refit for rockets and load Scourge Rage. Put the Dread Guristas Strike Force in your cargo. Warp in, destroy the Ytiri Security Bunker. Burn to the spawned container and put the Dread Guristas Strike Force into it. (Note that if you’re doing mission with others, only put 1 in!) Burn away and wait for the pirate finishing his job. Remotely complete and accept the next mission.
Rabbit Hole
Load Scourge Rage. Warp in and activate gate. In the first pocket approach the gate first. It will dissapear and then start destroying the Sentry Guns around. The gate will reappear after enough destroyed. Activate it. Destroy the stasis tower, then one Point Defense Battery, and finally the Storage Bunker. No additional standing loss for the stasis tower since you have to destroy the Sentry Guns anyway. Loot the drop and go back to agent.
Passing the Buck
Put Kipo “Foxfire” Tekira in your cargo. Warp in and activate gate. Drop the poor guy in the container in the first pocket then immediately go to the second. Direct combat in the second pocket. The triggers are Taibu State Yari (the elite frigate not jamming you), and then the cruiser. After kill the battlecruiser in the third spawn, a container will spawn. Loot it and go back to agent.
