Kidnappers Strike Part 1-4: Difference between revisions

'''Kidnappers Strike''' is a 10-part storyline mission chain that has three variants. Parts 1 to 4 are almost identical across the variants, with only minor differences in the named enemies. The rewards for the entire mission chain include several million ISK, a few attribute/hardwiring implants, and a sizeable faction standing (around 5.5% or 0.55 in-game representation plus {{sk|Social}} skill bonus) for a level-3 mission, making this a potentially lengthy but worthwhile endeavor. Note that the courier missions could send you to a station in a low-sec system.

 

==Part 1 - Ambush In The Dark==

|Objective= Retrieve 10 x Prisoners (75.0m³)

===Single Pocket===

 

Rogue Pirates and sentries feature a relatively balanced resistance profile with thermal as the overall most effective damage type to deal against both armor and shield, while Rogue Pirate Raider is weakest to explosive damage. Rogue Pirates deal primarily EM damage, with sentries and Rogue Pirate Raider dealing primarily a mixture of explosive and kinetic damage. The last enemy to be destroyed drops a container with the prisoners.

{{MessageBox|Mission Info|This asteroid field has just recently been settled, by a group of pirate freelancers.  A hastily erected mobile habitat floats idly in the midst of the giant rocks, while three groups of mercenary ships lazily orbit various asteroids in defensive positions.  One of the ships clearly has the markings of your target, Drazin Jaruk, who seems to be the leader of this bunch.  You also notice another acceleration gate nearby, which you guess, judging from it's fairly clean exterior, has been only recently installed.  Where it leads to is anyone's guess.|collapsed=yes}}

{{MessageBox|Incoming Transmission|I take it that imbecile Drazin led you to us.  Too bad you won't be leaving this area with your ship intact.|collapsed=yes}}

Requires Drazin Keycard ('''consumed on use''') from Habitat structure in Pocket 1.<br>

There are several versions of this group, depending on the named Cruiser. The Zerak Cheryn version is at 10-20k on warp in and his Gallente cruiser can be extremely harsh at close range and would be best taken out first if you can tank the two webbing frigates. The Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan version (Caldari based) is at 40-50k on warp in & and is easy to tank. Please confirm Drazin Jaruk spawn? <br>
