the frigates use target painters

Just for general info, the Ambassador ship is a 'Pleasure Yacht'

only 6 of the cruisers kept at 20-25km range.(i dunno which model) but the Stabber/Rupture model kept around 5-6km, frigates have orbit at 2km.

Lots of frigates as mentioned, and the close cruisers deal some amazing DPS.
I had an Apocalypse for mine. Kept both LAR-2's on all the time. Never broke tank w/ 2 kin, 1 exp, 1 th T2 Hardener

ALso, the Frigates have some really puny damage, so fitting for them is rather nonsense. (reference to smartbombs)

Maybe 1 smartbomb, but not 6 or 7.

(Looks for edit post button)

Tech 2 Hobgoblins took care of the frigates like hot knife through butter.

My alt account char got this storyline mission, and I blitzed it for him with my drake. Fit T2 kin+therm active hardeners and an AB, never got below 75%.

This account destroyed the fuel depot (and nothing else), and took no standing loss vs Minmatar. My other account that completed the mission and took the reward took a -2.29% standing loss vs Minmatar.

Hmm, looks like I did get a standing loss after a while, -2.4% for ship kill, came in a few minutes after I had finished the mission. Also see a -0.0% for aggression entry. Still, I got +5.35% with Amarr for completion on the account that claimed the reward, so net plus.
-- DoctorNho (2011-03-28 03:10:47)
I made this mission as a storyline and didn't kill any ship, just the fuel depot to get the Cargo. Even so i got a -2,4381% Standing Loss to the Minmatars and even an -1.04% Loss to the Gallente!!
On the other side i got +5,35% Amarr and +22,4% to the Corp (Tash Murkhon)

So i suggest: Kill all the Ships, doesen't change anything

Confirming -2.4% standing loss vs. Minmatar for "Combat - Ship Kill" even if you do not directly attack any Minmatar vessel.

My faction standings were affected in major way (as expected with a level 3 combat storyline mission), my Minmatar/Gallente standings have dropped quite some, but Amarr/Caldari improved even more noticeably - overall, solid net positive for me.

I am afraid I have spoken too fast... probably checked the updated standings before the "Combat - Ship Kill" penalty for Minmatar kicked in. The mission was, after all, a net negative for me, faction standings considered - the hit to my Minmatar/Gallente standings was slightly greater than the boost to my Amarr/Caldari standings.
-- RedDeck (2015-02-18 12:37:32)
Lots of ships, but they don't do nearly as much damage as you would think. Took a -2.4% hit with Minmatar Republic
