Overview

In the third mission of EVE Online‘s Military Career arc, the challenge is stepped up by another gradual notch, requiring you to retrieve another container-ejected item from one of the last pirates you’ll kill here. However, now it introduces EWAR into the combat mechanics: A single webifier-equipped drone will be present at the mission, which is a module that can slow down enemy ships—in this case, yours.

You should now have a decently fitted combat ship from the end of the previous mission. You can augment it with the modules you receive upfront here if you’d like, or just sell them on the market to make Isk for something else.

ln my case, I chose to swap Rocket Launchers for Light Missile Launchers on the Condor I received in order to go for long range attacks. This keeps my ship out of the enemy’s range while also making the mission go faster, since I don’t need to spend time closing distance. The Propulsion Jamming skill book you’ll receive at the end of the mission, on the other hand, is worth training right away to allow your character to make use of these webifier modules, one of which you’ll receive later in this chain.

How to Complete the Mission

Upon warping in to the mission location, you will find a single group of 4 pirate ships and 2 drones, with Tahamar sitting in his destroyer far away. Ignore him, focusing first on the Webifier drone that risks slowing you down and making you take more damage from the other enemies. He will taunt you throughout the mission before eventually warping away, although he could potentially be destroyed with a long range sniper vessel.

Otherwise, focus on the other Runner drone next since it seems to have a higher damage output than the other ships, then clear out the weak pirate ships. The last one popped drops the container you can collect your Secret Documents from, with which you can return to your agent in order to complete the mission.
