Anomic Base – Angel Transport and Guardians (4 x Dramiel)

Anomic Base – Angel – 4 x Dramiel and Angel Transport  – Last completed – June 2023

2022 YouTube Video: My Vigilant vs 4 x Angel Dramiel and the Clone Soldier Transport

2022 Notes: This fit is marginal and there is no room for mistakes. Make sure you understand that reducing the targets transversal velocity is the key to being able to hit it. If you are not doing damage then you are either too far from the target or it is orbiting you too fast.

Strongly suggest using the damage implants, shown in the video, to give you the edge. Successfully completed this 10+ times without adding bling to the ship, but have returned with burnt out modules and a quickened heart rate !!

Photon UI – Make sure you have your drone bay open (actual Bay – not control window) Check tick box for show sidebar in Active ship window.

Background:
There are plenty of fits for this mission, choose one you are comfortable with and have tested. There are lots of video’s to help you understand what you are getting yourself into. There are a lot of pilots who tried alternate Vigilant, and other interesting fits, and died – Burner Dramiel Escort Kills

The Enemy:
4 x Dramiel Escorts, orbit speed 2,100m/s, Warp Scramble 2 points at 16km. Missiles (EM 55 dps) and Turrets (Explosive 96 dps and Kinetic 20 dps) which is a lot of incoming fire. There is no information on the Clone Soldier Transport, but it looks like a Prowler or Wreath. Not a threat.
Total Bounty – approx. 21 Million Isk
Burner Dramiel Stats – By Chruker

Before you activate the gate:
Check Drones.
Check Capacitor Boosters – loaded and a few spares.
No need to set orbit as this is a stationary mission, but orbiting the Depot might help?
Overload your Armor Explosive Hardener II’s
Have you got an MWD ? Chasing the transport without AB or MWD will last for about 150 km before your drones kill it.

On Landing:
You will exit warp in the center of a complex. The Escort Dramiels will be about 20km away in four corners. They will lock you and approach at speed. The Clone Soldier Transport will be heading away from the site. Don’t worry, it won’t get away.
Deploy the Mobile Depot
Activate your Armor Explosive Hardeners once the Dramiels close in.
Lock all targets.
Once they close to 4km’s, lock one, activate all the Stasis Webifiers and fire Blasters, Launch drones and attack.
Don’t forget your Armor Repper!!
The Stasis Webifier should slow the Dramiel down to 12m/s, or less, allowing your Heavy Neutron Blasters to hit.
The Escorts may try to pull range, if they move out of Blaster range switch targets.
Rinse Repeat.
The idea is to kill the Escorts as quickly as possible.
Once you have killed 2 of them you can de-activate the overload on the Armor Explosive Hardeners so they don’t burn out.
You will lose drones so keep feeding them.
Update: Swapped out Hornet I’s for Hobgoblin I’s because the weakest resist on the NPC Dramiel is Thermal. That made one of them target the drones. Less incoming damage but I would not count on it to save you. (Deploying the Mobile Depot allows you to reload drones directly from your cargo bay to your drone bay)

With the Escorts dead, scoop the loot from the Tractor Unit, Remove a Stasis Webifier and turn another off, then fit the Micro Warp Drive. Scoop the Depot.
Burn out to the Transport and kill it.
