Burning Down the Hive: Difference between revisions

The first room of this mission features multiple [http://eveinfo.com/npcship/3748/eve-online-strain-infester-alvi.html ''Strain Infester Alvi''] or [http://eveinfo.com/npcship/18071/eve-online-strain-render-alvi.html ''Strain Render Alvi''] rogue drones that webify and warp disrupt your ship.  If the rats get within range and point you, then you will not be able to warp out of the mission deadspace to preserve your ship. This is one of the only Level 1 missions that has warp disrupting rats; you will not see them commonly again until Level 3 missions.

You must do two things to survive: Fit your ship properly, and use the correct tactics. In missions up to this one most players will have been taking the approach of diving in to the enemy group and fighting them at short range, warping out if you bite off more than you can handle. In this mission the presence of warp disruptors and the large number of enemy ships makes this unlikely to work. The key tactic to this mission is one called "kiting", where you fit long range weapons and keep the enemy at range so that they can't damage you much, and to avoid being caught by warp scramblers and webs.
