Unfortunately, I was not able to join the org op of the final stage of overdrive - and my schedule now is becoming a bit erratic. I am going to be doing it solo and I’m wondering how difficult it would or how I should prepare.
Any thoughts/insight would be greatly appreciated.
the last overdrive mission could be done solo or better in a small team, bring a ship with some storage with you, as you need to transport some boxes.
You will fly to a wreck site and need to fight some Xeno NPC on foot (between 5 and 10 NPC) and collect three boxes out of the wreck. Deliver than the boxes to Pyro Jumppoint Station and place them in the package machines
The mission is a bit broken and you maybe need several attemps to finish it. On our last try yesterday, one of the three boxes wasn’t accepted by the drop off machine. CIG already stated, that the Phase 5 will get a patch with 3.23 and could still be finished after the patch dropped
Mission takes around 30-60 minutes with a small group or solo
Totally get the struggle with schedules; life in the 'verse waits for no one! We’ve wrapped up all five phases of the Overdrive event as org operations. Now, we’re all on the edge of our seats (and not just because of dodgy pilot seats!) waiting for the 3.23 drop and the epic Xenothreat showdown.
In the meantime, we’re not just floating adrift! We’re rallying to assist members who are aiming to snag that sleek F7A or some snazzy special armor by completing the Overdrive event.
I had an org operation planned for Friday, but that’s off the books now (freed up some time for that extra cup of coffee! ).
If you haven’t tackled all phases of the Overdrive event yet, fear not! We’ve got a stellar crew of members and staff ready to team up and guide you through. If you’re all set, hang tight—our next major move begins once 3.23 goes live.
Thank you, Waterwalker - this was very helpful. I just needed to know what to expect so I could prep properly for it.
I had to run this twice - the first time the drop off terminals caused me some grief and had to server jump.
However, both times, I had a small group of ships that I had to deal with with - 2 cuttie blacks, a valkyrie and a reclaimer - all went down pretty quickly. I brought my Andromeda.
The FPS portion was definitely inconsistent:
First attempt was on Wala and there I had to deal with about 6 NPCs on the ground, and the packages were hard to get to.
Second attempt was much, much easier. I was on Arial and no NPCs to deal with
** Freelancer was the ship, conveniently broken up into 3 parts with each ship section having one of the components I needed
Grabbed what I needed, flew to Pyro station and handed them all in. 2nd attempt was really smooth.
