ISKmaking for the Free Folk (S1E08) - Faction Warfare Missions Guide [1.5b/hr]: Blitzing Missions

[@samsaq8417]

I'm trying to do this as an amarrian FW player, and I'm having a loooot of trouble with some of the missions like the cost of hubris, where the BS can tank my 500+ dps and ruin my ship with 1k missile volleys from 150km out. Not sure if the meta has shifted away from the use of drone boats like the prot.

I dont understand how the battleships are tanking ur 500 dps. I did that mission with a 10 mil cheap dragoon with 200 dps, yes it took me a bit to kill the battleship but still

Good video! One question: My drones are getting aggro constantly and getting killed. Didnt happen in Gila previously. Any tips how to avoid that?

[@ProjectFreeFolk]

Drones do draw aggro every now and then. Try to notice, pull back into drone bay, and put them our again. If you pay no attention you will lose 2-3 drones a day. That is not so bad either. Just don't use augmented.

[@HowlinSnail]

Aha, probably i am doing something wrong then. as drones are getting agro immideatelty after I release them. So i spend much time releasing and returning drones back and forward :) found that gila surves better, as i have a huge HP pool of drones at least.

Thats interesting. I go in the mission, activate mwd, begin orbiting at 115 and drones rarely receive aggro. Are you not using MWD by any chance? Maybe sig is important. Or, you can switch drone navigation computers with some EWAR that takes aggro, maybe a jam or a painter.

[@HowlinSnail]

Project Free Folk hm, will try with target painter, good tip! I was switching mwd off sometimes, when got tripple webbed by frigates, but once they die I start cycling that again. may be that was a reason then

[@jimbojamb]

How would you use jam or painter with 115km orbit? Will they work with such distance to targets?
