| Smash and Grab takes place in the Venal Null Security Region. Consider that:
| |
| * the Local Market may not stock items or they may be expensive - stock up on everything you might need
| |
| * capsuleer may hunt you down - think how you'll avoid them
| |
| * there are few Stations where you can dock up to repair and refit - have a fit for all occasions
| |
| * Jump Gates may be encased in Warp Interdiction Spheres that prevent warping - learn more about Bubbles
| |
| | |
| Consider buying:
| |
| * an Interceptor to ignores Warp Interdiction Spheres
| |
| * plenty of ammo
| |
| * Nanite Repair Paste
| |
| * a [[Travel fits|Travel Fit]]
| |
| * ship fittings that can deal more then 150 DPS or a Tractor Beam I and a weapon that deals damage over 20 km for Spy Games

| == General Tactics ==
| |
| | |
| * Think of this like a PVP mission with some PVE sprinkled in. The big difference here is that you're not going to be PVP'ing head-on -- you're going to be PVP'ing by out-piloting, outsmarting, and avoiding your enemies.
| |
| * Periodically check your star map for ship kills, pod kills, and jumps in the last hour. Compare these systems against your mission route to see if you can avoid those systems, or wait until the action has subsided.
| |
| * Keep an eye on local, but never speak. You don't want to give away the fact that you're active.
| |
| * The D-scan button is hotkeyed these days, so there's no excuse not to mash it constantly. Do a 360 scan every few seconds while running your missions. Look for combat scanner probes first and foremost (this is the only way pirates can find you inside a mission's deadspace pocket), but also keep an eye out for other ships so you know who's active in the system. You'll see lots of assault frigates and interceptors flown by other missioners and those hunting them.
| |
| * Some missions include waves of frigates and destroyers that can be quite punishing. Don't be afraid to cherry pick a few, dock up, repair, rinse, and repeat.
| |
| * Once you accept a mission you should minimize the agent conversation window instead of closing it. This way, once your objectives are complete the window will pop back up, giving you a clear indication that your work is done.
| |
| * Many of the missions can be handed in and/or accepted without docking; be sure to always do "Start Conversation" with the agent to see if you can talk to them remotely.
| |
| * Be familiar with survival techniques like the cloak/MWD trick before you attempt these missions.
| |
| * To be even safer, go with a cheap frigate first and make tactical gate bookmarks and instant-undocks.
