The epic arc has a few missions that can be difficult - and "Burning Down the Hive" is one of these. Rare is the new player who does not suffer his or her first ship loss in this mission. | The epic arc has a few missions that can be difficult - and "Burning Down the Hive" is one of these.

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. | You must do two things to survive: Fit your ship properly, and use the correct tactics.

The key here is to be fast, and to destroy the warp disrupting drones from outside their range (approximately 10 km). An afterburner is essential as these drones have a speed of 900 m/s. You should use long range weapons, aiming for a range of 15km. Tracking is not an issue.

As usual for rogue drones, [[NPC damage types|EM and/or Thermal damage]] is preferable. If your ship has a [[drones|drone bay]] then this will help a lot, since your drones can damage enemies up to 25 km with no problems. | ||
A [[Punisher]] with pulse lasers and long-range crystals (microwave or radio) has been effective in this mission, but for other races, fit light missiles, railguns, or artillery to get the range you need. A [[Destroyer]] with its range bonus and increased DPS (but reduced speed) may work better than a frigate. With the addition of drone destroyers, such as the [[Algos]] and the [[Dragoon]], you can easily take down the entire mission with light drones at range. The choice is yours. | A [[Punisher]] with pulse lasers and long-range crystals (microwave or radio) has been effective in this mission, but for other races, fit light missiles, railguns, or artillery to get the range you need.
