David V Goliath

Site Details

Site name ?

David V Goliath is an expedition that escalates from Sansha Military Complex.

Walkthrough

This expedition is in nullsec, with all four parts in Sansha infested nullsec. A high DPS ship is recommended to take out Naberius Marquis in the final location.

Escalation from Sansha Military Complex

Going through the logs from one of the command ships you blasted, you come across a recent memo containing a draft for a plan where forces from this Military Complex and another similar to this one were to gang up and raid a space trucker station somewhere in the region. Where this space trucker station is, is not included in the logs, but the location of the rally point is there. It is supposed to be by a small asteroid belt, not too far away.

First Location

If the True Sansha ship does not trigger escalation or does not spawn, take the acceleration gate.

		WD	EWAR	L
	1-2 x Destroyer Centior Cannibal/Misshape
	4-5 x Battlecruiser Centatis Behemoth/Daemon
	3-4 x Battleship Centus Tyrant/Dread Lord
	1 x Commander Battleship True Sansha's Dark Lord

Structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate

First Pocket

On warpin
Sansha Minion Scout: Send me the secret password NOW. I'm warning you ...

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Elite Cruiser Sansha Minion Scout

Escalation trigger
From the wreckage of this ship, you get info on where it is from, it is another Sansha station. Well, more an outpost than a station perhaps, but it is a pure military outfit, not a regular colony.

Escalation dead end
You scan the wreck for further info, examine the location and listen for a while on all channels ... but nothing. It seems you have lost the trail of this raiding party.

Second Location

The Sansha Military Outpost does not drop anything worthwhile, so it is not worth the time and ammunition to destroy it unless to trigger the escalation.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Sansha Military Outpost
	3-4 x Destroyer Centior Horror/Monster
	3-4 x Battleship Centus Tyrant/Dread Lord

Wave 2

	1-2 x Destroyer Centior Abomination/Monster
	5-6 x Battleship Centus Tyrant/Dread Lord
	1 x Commander Battleship True Sansha's Overlord/Dread Lord

Escalation dead end
Again you let your scanners comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, but alas .. nothing, not a word anywhere.

Escalation trigger

Again you let your scanners comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, and before long you are holding a log listing the second rally spot and as far as you can see, the raiding parties have already departed from here and two other stations and are supposed to convene within the hour. If one of the raiding parties was supposed to come from the Sansha station you destroyed originally, you have already managed to diminish their forces somewhat.

Third Location

If True Sansha ship does not trigger escalation or spawn, take the acceleration gate.

		WD	EWAR	L

First Pocket

No rats are present here. Approach the beacon to trigger the escalation.

100 km away

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Guidance Beacon

Escalation trigger
A fixed guidance beacon sitting here all alone .. you examine the thing and discover its guidance system points to a place not too far away. Perhaps that is the space trucker station? In any case, that is the only clue you have to follow, if the pirates have ever been here, they have gone already.

Fourth Location

Single open pocket. No gate at warpin. This section can be easily mastered with a carrier.

On warpin
A peaceful station, where transport ships get refitted and refueled. Almost too peaceful ...

In local
Space Trucker Convoy: To all nearby ships. I think we might have trouble. Let's go back through the gate before something happens!

The haulers present will warp off when you warp in.
