Mission briefing

Wow. I've never heard of this before. Studio I must be a recent development among traffickers. I really don't know much about it, but something feels off about the situation. I mean, I've been a part of some really nasty enterprises in my time – trafficking for drugs, medical experiments, slavery, you name it – but something like Studio I? No way; nothing like that. This looks like a joint operation between Impetus and the Syndicate. I don't know how close that relationship is, or how high up on the corporate chain it goes. But we know the kid is there. Get in there and get him. Destroy the Studio, too. Nothing good can come from it.

Warning: The last wave has multiple elite battleships. You simply can't tank them with T1 battleship. Take advantage of warpin points (bookmarks) to stay out of their reach and shoot the structure from range.

Blitz: Kill everything in warpin. Kill the Studio I in first room, thin out DPS to sustainable level and take advantage of warping to bookmarks.

Warpin

When you warp in there is a large number of ships waiting for you. Luckily most of them warp out before you engage them. You will face multiple elite battleships. These battleships deal high short range damage and approach you with MWD. Warp in at range, align out and snipe them while they approach you, overheat tank when damage gets high and warp out to cool down/repair if needed.

The area is not deadspace so you can warp around freely and use bookmarks to stay away from the rats.

First room

This pocket is normal space so no warp limitations. You should create bouncing bookmarks around the Studio I. You need them to avoid the elite battleships that spawn later. You can create one bookmark by burning away and use the asteroids as a warpin point to warp back.

You should start by taking out the elite cruisers and elite battleships. After this burn out to create a bouncing bookmarks. You can also thin out the normal battleships while working on bookmarks.

Once you have at least two bounding bookmarks positioned on opposite sides of the Studio I so that you can warp from one to other and can shoot the structure from both of them you can start hammering the structure. Stay as far as you can to avoid the next spawn.

Once the Studio I hits hull damage the Elites will spawn. This wave contains six elite battleships. A T1 battleship implodes under their DPS (each hits around 300 dps). The elite battleships have short range but approach you uwith MWD so stay far from them. When they start applying damage warp to one of your bouncing bookmarks and keep hitting the Studio I. After the studio dies the mission is completed.

The Studio I has approximately 148K HP with no resists to EM. Suspect zero resists for all damage types.

The Studio I drops one "Holoreel: Wanted for Love" vanity item. Not needed for anything but you can keep it to remind you of this epic arc.
