Why cap booster and not cap batteries? If something goes wrong (e.g. Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Missile Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Cap Booster 800Īrmor Command Burst I, Rapid Repair Charge

Myrmidon would also work but Prophecy is more forgiving IMO, especially if you don't have perfect skills like myself. You don't want to roll reduced cap on Exile. The fit is under 300M and requires a Standard Exile (plus maybe a Hardshell II if your skills are lacking) and about 5000 missiles for bashing the station. It has enough lows to fit both sufficient tank for Phase 1 (~1800ehp/s against 60% EM 40% Thermal) while still applying damage to diamond rats, can fit enough damage mods for phase 2 (>600 dps) and it doesn't need cap to fire (also phase 2). So rule of thumb: don't warp out unless you are going down. If you warp out and back it might trigger a second (usually worse) wave. It seems that a single ship warping to the FOB triggers only one wave. People used to say that the response fleets depend on how many weapons you have fitted in high slots but I didn't notice that. In my tests a battlecruiser brings out 8-9 Omens and either an Ashimmu, Augoror or two Cruors. A frigate might launch a few punishers and executioners, while two nestors can bring out a bunch of bhaalgorns, apocs and an augoror that will snipe you from 100km away.

Phase 1: Warp at 300km and deal with the defense fleetĪs you probably know, warping different ships to the FOB triggers different defense fleets.

Drop some 800 cap boosters at the 300km warp-in.

Kill the ore hauler to prevent it from spawning another defense fleet as it drops off ore while you are sieging the station (follow the excellent guide at ).

Probe the FOB and get a 300km warp-in (FOB will neut you under ~260km) with a cloaked ship.

This approach follows five foolproof steps. Or you are a risk-averse miner who just wants to get back to mining. Or you can't afford a 1.5b rattle just for this shit.

Now let's suppose that you got so caught up in whether you could that you didn't consider whether you should. Note that if for some reason you need to remove a FOB solo just use a rattle as described in or dual box nestors.
