Well that was a lot wasn't it? Maybe so. It's not an easy site to run at first, and any apprehension or nervousness is understandable.

How long will you last in one of those damage clouds with a frigate? Well, I attempted one time I ran one of these sites, very green to these sites back then. I put my ship so it was fit with a Medium Shield Extender, and not much else, and aligned my ship towards a distance celestial, so all I would have to do is hit the Warp to 0 button as soon as I would take damage. A few seconds past, I took a bucketload of damage which took me all the way down to about half structure, and within 0.25 second I hit the button. And my ship was wiped off the field.

So in that case, the worst case result is that you only get to run the Hidden Room. Or, bring a mate with a logistics frigate (make sure to keep the usual EM and Thermal hardeners) and just burn an afterburner all the way to the back room. Go high and around the middle area (60km is the activation radius for the middle Restless Sentry Tower) and just tank the ones in the back enclave, or bring a DPS ship (should be able to rep at least 250 EHP/sec against EM & Thermal damage, assuming a cruiser, and be capacitor stable. That is enough to tank two sentry towers, but certainly not three) to shoot the towers in the back. | |||

IMMEDIATELY after you land, turn on your Afterburner and orbit the Remote Defense Grid Unit. Hack it. (Speed Tip: Lock up the Sentry Tower further away and put your drones on it for now.) If you don't have the skills for a T2 Data Analyzer, now is when you'll start regretting it. I know it's long train. But it's worth it.) Once you've hacked that one can, start approaching WHILE MAINTAINING SOME TRANSVERSAL to the nearby Sentry Gun. Do NOT approach it head-on: manually pilot towards it at an angle.

Once you get within range of your drones and weapons, start engaging it. You can orbit it safely at 7500m or whatever and it will hardly ever hit you.

You then have to make sure you can see your combat log (make sure it shows misses and hits) carefully on your screen. Having your Combat Log window pulled up helps too. The gameplan centers on the fact that the Sentry Gun fires every 15 seconds, yet your Microwarpdrive cycles once every 10 seconds. So you'd wait till it fires (and hits, or misses) the first time, then immediately activate the MWD approaching the rift ONCE. And only once: if it is set on auto-repeat, you might be dead within 10 seconds. You may want to turn that off for now.

It's dangerous. Very dangerous. If you're good, you could overheat your active hardeners for the period just before they fire, given that hardeners cycle faster than the sentry guns fire.

I do not recommend this approach. I tested this approach using a Heron, and overloaded EM and Thermal hardeners. I could last about a minute or so before I was forced to warp out. By orbiting the nearby Remote Defense Grid Unit, you won't take damage from the nearby Sentry Tower, but the distant ones hit hard. If you have a buddy with a T1 Logistics Frigate (use T2 remote shield boosters, and use T2 hardeners on the "patient" ship. Look for at least 250 EHP/sec capacitor stable), you should be able to sustain the damage just fine with an oversized buffer fit against two distant Sentry Towers. Without the buffer, you'll probably get alpha'd off the field in short order. | I do not recommend this approach. I tested this approach using a Heron, and overloaded EM and Thermal hardeners.
