* Due to special ship restrictions, you have to fly the T1 EWAR Frigate given to you for this mission.

* You will lose your ship in this mission, so [[insure]] it at the highest level to get a bit more money back. Also make sure the ship doesn't have any modules fitted and the cargohold is empty.

* This also generates a [[killmail]], although it lists the enemy structure as the aggressor and your ship as the victim.

* Warp Disruptor is one of the two common module types (the other being a Warp Scrambler) which [[Warp disruption|prevents other ships from warping away]]. Fit it to your ship.

* Repairing other ships in combat (referred to as "[[logistics]]" in EVE) is an important but somewhat specialized part of EVE gameplay. Most fleets (except perhaps the very smallest gangs) will include one or several logistics ships, who will try to keep their fleetmates alive under fire. While this mission gives a very basic introduction, it over-simplifies things perhaps a bit too much. For one thing, the "damaged vessel" wasn't actually damaged (you could see their shield/armor/structure status when you targeted them). Additionally, the mission implies that using your repair module repaired the damaged vessel's warp drive - in reality, there is no way to "damage" a ship's warp drive, although you can (see [[#Your Undivided Attention (3 of 10)|mission 3]]) use modules to temporarily prevent ships from warping away.

* You will lose your ship in this mission (again)! Unlike in [[#Angel of Mercy (2 of 10)|mission 2]] you will actually need to destroy a frigate before going down, so fit your ship with a few cheap weapons and minimal ammunition. Also, insure your ship to the highest level you can afford.

* If you'd like to keep the frigates, your free corvette with two civilian weapons can do the job, although the fight can be close and you might be forced to warp out, repair, and re-engage.

* Once it's gone, a large fleet warps in, including several cruisers (again, note their different Overview icons) and drones which will use Stasis Webifiers and [[EWAR|other forms of electronic warfare on you]]. Though the fight is hopeless, fight them until your ship is destroyed. You would normally warp away to safety against such an overwhelming odds, but in this case, the mission requires that your ship be destroyed by the rats.  

* Almost all types of regular rats ignore your pod (there are a few exceptions, such as [[Triglavian minor victory|Triglavians]]).

* In order to use them, you must use a ship with a drone bay. All corvettes carry enough drone bay/bandwidth for one light drone except for [[Velator]] which can carry two. Among the ships given out by [[image:isis_gallente.png|22px|link=]]Gallente Career Agents in the station so far, [[Imicus]] and [[Tristan]] are good candidates to try out the two light drones in.

* If you find drone combats to your liking, then [[Tristan]] serves as a good starting-level drone ship, although your damage potential would likely be quite limited compared to other options such as [[Incursus]] until you reach level V of your Drones skill to be able to field all five drones.

* You will need to purchase your faction-appropriate Destroyer skillbook and train it to at least level I before you can fly the destroyer given to you. Should you wish, you can use whichever ship you've been using so far.

* Three rat frigates will warp in upon your arrival at the mission location. One of them is the Terrorist Leader you're meant to destroy, and the other two are their wingmen. The Terrorist Leader will be flying a more advanced faction Frigate, which will warp disrupt (preventing you from warping away) or web (slowing you down) you.
