Superior Sleeper Cache: Difference between revisions

20. Hack all loot containers at your leisure. Do not approach the Plasma Chambers recklessly. Use "Keep at Range" (2500m) for the can closest to those chambers and approach slowly with no propulsion module active.<br />

::<span style="color:green">SUCCESS:</span> A Pristine Storage Depot and possibly one or two lower grade containers are spawned. The locations of the hidden mines are revealed.<br />

# Drop all loot and unneeded modules into the Mobile Depot.

# Refit into the appropriate fit.

Assuming a successful hack of the Sentry Repair Station, simply sit near the Repair Station and wait for the hostile Towers to be eradicated. Exercise great caution near the 3 Unstable Plasma Chambers located north of the warp-in. Getting too close to these could be fatal, and will also trip the alarm: blazing all over the site with a MWD will not go unnoticed. These Chambers are very similar through the ones found in Limited Sleeper Caches except they are ''considerably'' more powerful than in this site.

For fittings intended for attempting this method, see [[#Ship Fittings|Ship Fittings]], above.

The basic strategy is to ignore the Remote Defense Grid Unit hack entirely, and hack only the Storage Depots. If the 16 Perimeter Defense Towers are online, the previously-mentioned fits may not be sufficient to tank the incoming damage. In that case, pilots can elect to fit a buffer tank and bring in logistics cruisers to compensate. However, any fit that can survive the Archive Room indefinitely (repping in excess of 2000 EHP/sec) won't have a problem, and may simply continue on hacking.  

If there is doubt as to whether the Alarm is active or not (i.e. if someone else may have tripped it), swap out the two armor repairers for a pair of 1600mm plates and have a look. There is enough buffer to survive without reps for about five minutes. If the Perimeter towers are not active, but all 10 proximity towers and the initial 6 towers are, then the tank should last for about 6.5 minutes. Using Pyfa's numbers, one [[Exequror]] can repair about 2000 EHP/sec onto a plated fit and may be a good alternative. As long as the logistics ship does not steal aggro (just sit near the beacon), this approach should work nicely. This also has the benefit in that an overtanked [[Maller]] may only need to swap out for all EM and Thermal Hardeners, as 90% resists are pretty effective at reducing the incoming DPS.

:# Lock up one of the Unstable Plasma Chambers. Make sure you have some kind of high slot weapon or aggressive module (target painter is ideal): drones will not work. Even a 125mm Autocannon on a Nestor is enough. Do not shoot it yet.<br />

:# Start hacking the Vessel Rejuvenation Battery, but do NOT finish the hack. When you find the core, and are 1-2 clicks away from success, get ready for the next bit below.<br />

Just after you finish the hack, watch Local to see when the message pops up informing of the activation, then quickly shoot a Plasma Chamber. The Vessel Rejuvenation Battery's mad reps will protect you. Quickly turn on the Microwarpdrive over to the now-revived Hyperfluct Generator. There are just 60 seconds to attempt a successful hack before the Perimeter Defense System comes online. When that happens, 16 new Sentry Towers appear. Frigates will be destroyed. Ships that can run the Archive Room fine will be okay to repeat attempts until the Rift is generated.

Assuming the hack goes through in time, take the Rift into the Archive Room itself.

It is advisable to shoot the Sentry Towers that lie around the perimeter. As they have a 50m signature radius, Light Neutron Blasters and light drones are recommended. Depending on the ship's fit, their absence can be enough to make sure your tank lasts long enough.

Place 3 Cerebrum Oscillation Fluids into the Central Archive Cerebrum; more is unnecessary. When this is done, a couple of things are initiated: first, the Central Archive Cerebrum will eject Storage Depots of varying grades, and shockwaves will begin to occur. The first set are tankable fine in a standard Tech III Strategic Cruiser, though the double massive shockwaves will most likely be more than most fits and skills can handle. The basic idea then becomes a question of how many cans can be hacked and looted before the incoming damage is more than can be safely tolerated.
