===Mission 2, The Cost of Preservation===
 
A fairly easy fight against mercenaries.

===Mission 2, Surfacing===

You will get:
A combat mission against mercenaries. The first wave of this mission spawns almost on top of you and does heavy damage and can warp scramble, so you might want to trigger it in a shuttle and then warp back in at range in your combat ship.
+
* 10% Minmatar Republic Faction Standing (with no derived standings) and 25M ISK if you chose [[Revelation (mission)|Revelation]]
 +
*  5% Minmatar Republic Faction Standing (with no derived standings) and 10x RSS Core Scanner Probes if you chose [[Retraction]]

''I have Hacking III, and on two separate days I attempted to loot the item using a T1 cruiser with four Codebreaker I modules, but was unable to do so before being destroyed.  I suggest not trying to blitz this mission unless you have a friend to kite for you.'' --[[User:Jeb hataska|Jeb hataska]] 18:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Most of the missions can be blitzed. For best results you will need a combat ship and a heavy tanked hacking ship. If your combat ship is an armor tanked battleship then it can do both jobs.
  
===Mission 2, Heresiology===
+
'''Combat ship''' is needed in the missions where you kill things. This ship is needed in all three chapters. You will be fighting Angels (Ex best damage to deal, Kin secondary damage to deal. Same to tank) and mercenaries (Th/Kin best damage to deal, same to tank). Short and long ranged weapons both work. You will want to carry MJD and data analyzer in cargo for refitting for few missions.  
An easy fight against Ammatar, followed by a lot of archaeology. Analyze the containers and more containers will spawn to be analyzed.
 
  
===Mission 3, Wildfire===
+
The incoming damage can be quite high so don't go light on tank. Burst tank is more important than sustained tank since all of the combat missions allow you to bounce within the pocket.
Place an item in a container. It will then be stolen by an NPC and you will be ambushed by a large number of Angel frigates and a few battleships, which you can either destroy or escape.
 
  
===Mission 4, Stillwater===
+
'''Heavy hacker''' is needed in the third chapter. There are multiple missions where you need to hack under fire without shooting yourself at all.
The final combat mission against a rogue Minmatar agent and his Angel guards. There is an energy neutraliser tower that should be killed first, then you can either blitz Karkoti or kill his guards and then destroy him. His guards are elite cruisers and frigates and regular battleships, so they're not especially tough. Karkoti has a good tank, but not amazing, and his damage is not particularly high. He uses a microwarpdrive and seems to like to kite at a 60km range.
 
  
===Mission 5a, Revelation===
+
If your combat ship is an armor tanked battleship you can refit it for hacking.  If you do fighting in shield battleship it is best to buy a battlecruiser with large number of low slots works for this. Fit for high resists (depending on mission either EM/TH or EX/KIN) and two armor repairers, MJD, AB/MWD and relic analyzer. Free slots for capacitor and rigs for repair/capacitor. Armor tanked ships are better for this since you need mid slots for other than tanking.
A simple delivery mission.
 
  
===Mission 5b, Retraction===
+
If you have a dedicated ship for this keep it parked in system of Tanoo for running the hacking in third arc.

Repeatedly denied access to an important historical artifact, the academics are pitted in a constant struggle to uncover ancient truths, and it will be your mission to help them. The histories of conquered civilizations are seldom told in full by the victors, and many organizations will do their best to keep things that way."

Blitzing

Most of the missions can be blitzed. For best results you will need a combat ship and a heavy tanked hacking ship. If your combat ship is an armor tanked battleship then it can do both jobs.

Combat ship is needed in the missions where you kill things. This ship is needed in all three chapters. You will be fighting Angels (Ex best damage to deal, Kin secondary damage to deal. Same to tank) and mercenaries (Th/Kin best damage to deal, same to tank). Short and long ranged weapons both work. You will want to carry MJD and data analyzer in cargo for refitting for few missions.

The incoming damage can be quite high so don't go light on tank. Burst tank is more important than sustained tank since all of the combat missions allow you to bounce within the pocket.

Heavy hacker is needed in the third chapter. There are multiple missions where you need to hack under fire without shooting yourself at all.

If your combat ship is an armor tanked battleship you can refit it for hacking. If you do fighting in shield battleship it is best to buy a battlecruiser with large number of low slots works for this. Fit for high resists (depending on mission either EM/TH or EX/KIN) and two armor repairers, MJD, AB/MWD and relic analyzer. Free slots for capacitor and rigs for repair/capacitor. Armor tanked ships are better for this since you need mid slots for other than tanking.

If you have a dedicated ship for this keep it parked in system of Tanoo for running the hacking in third arc.
