Do you have to exit and re-enter the instance or can wait until that Principle T9 comes back?

HOW TO GRIND - Lugh system - Guide to Operation Dullahan
- Thread starter Lord_Crazy
- Start date
DISCLAIMER: it was brought to my attention that federal Commanders are numerous, well armed and looking for kills. You may want to try the following in Solo rather than Open Play. Or stay in Open Play and get ready for a huge fight
Dear Commanders,
As you know war is waging in Lugh System. Galnet has been talking abour one operation named "Dullahan" that a lot of Commanders don't seem to understand. Here is what the operation is about.
First of all it is a community goal available at Hartsfield station, Lugh system. The goal displays "Lugh for equality" (fed) but it seems like a bug or an undercover. I am currently running cargo there I can assure you the money comes from the Crimson State Group and that the station is under CSG control at the moment. Be warned: this is a really grinding mission as each military intel you bring back is bought around 42k each, plus the extra you can make on the way (I will explain).
Here is how to proceed:
1) Go to Hartsfiled station (dah);
2) Sign up for the community goal;
3) Make sure you have a cargo hold as you are required to deliver canisters;
4) Go to the Convoy beacon;
5) Find the Lakon T9 called Principal Hauler;
6) Destroy its cargo hold, don't kill it;
7) Get the military intel
8) In your panel #4 switch to CSG and kill the federal ships to make extra cash in form of combat bounds;
9) Get back to the station WARNING your goods are illegal you need to sneak in;
10) Sell the stuff to the black market;
11) Enjoy the bunch of credits
Special tips:
a) It seems like the Lakon T9 is dropping at least 8 canisters, so outfit your ship accordingly (currently I even got 16 at once, 43k x 16 I let you see how great this is!);
b) Don't kill the Lakon T9, shoot the cargo hold;
c) The Lakon T9 has four turrets, it will probably destroy your limpet. Personally my 2 x C2 beam lasers are opening the hold super quickly!
d) Once the canisters are in the void don't bother of the feds, get the canisters first or the feds might destroy them;
e) If you signed up for the other community goal, kill the feds to get extra combat bounds!
f) The starport is not heavily guarded, smuggling the canisters won't be a problem;
g) REMINDER: you need to sell those on the black market, not in the bulletin board panel;
h) NOTE: I think siding with CSG at the convoy beacon is mandatory to get the reward. Not sure but it is safer to do so.
Bonus: screen shot of the community goal once it is not encrypted

I find the most effective way to do this is with class 1 and 2 multi-cannons.
Step 1: You hit the cargo hatch until it drops to about 79%....wait....does it start pooping canisters? If yes...
Step 2: wait....wait...keep your position...when it stops pooping....
Step 3: pop it a couple more times...say 72%...is it pooping? If yes repeat step 2. If No...repeat step 3.
Step 4: repeat previous steps...slowly reducing the cargo hatches health.
Lasers are too effective on the cargo hatch, causing it to be killed too quickly. When the cargo hatch reaches 0 it will no longer drop anything. The best drops I get are when the T9 is allowed to restore its shields 3-4 times. With a competent wing at my back (and not too many friendly NPC pythons), protecting me from the reds so i can concentrate on my work, I can usually get these haulers to drop anywhere from 12-20+ canisters. My average I would guess is around 16 per T9. The biggest key is not killing the hatch too fast or continuing to hit it when it is already dropping.
Patience will win the day...and the money...
Good luck CMDR's.
P.S. I will be on later...2-3 hours. Hit me up if you want to wing up and scoop some canisters.

Yes it does count towards combat rating. I was finally able to upgrade mine because of this war.

They will return in instance if you want to wait. Also if you can keep the one there alive long enough another one will appear before you finish off the one you are working on. I got lucky last night and this happened 3 times in a row.
Full speed dock with boost should fix getting scanned. Once your in the station your safe. I have had a scan start before but i was in the station before it was finished so i was safe. Also beware of CMDR's camping outside the station scanning people. It's the same as being scanned by the cops.
Heh - just lost 32 cannisters as by mistake I pressed "unload cargo" in the station 
, what is that - slightly more than a million - could have been worse for sure.
It has been fun nevertheless, time to go to bed though tonight.
- also on that other note, the Principle comes back, but it takes a while (30 min?) so if there are feds to kill, it is fine as one can be busy, while otherwise if there are too many Crimson ships and all the feds are cleared, it is just to boring to wait so it works out better to leave the instance and come back to action.

bah, I find the gather intel thing too bothersome.
i find that with pythons and vipers targeting me i cannot concentrate on collecting canisters quickly enough and they get destroyed or lost.
much more enjoyable to go to the conflict zones and make 500k while increasing my rating at the same time. i only get 5-6 canisters at each time so can't really say this is showing me the money hehe

if you get those canisters in a few minutes its really good money
all depends how long it takes you.
With my 76 cargo ASP, I make 3.2 mil in 1 hour - 1 hour 10.
I sometimes have to run because my shields are down, if for example an enemy anaconda is to close and if my hull is under 70% i run back to base with what I got.
I guess the time spent mining helps as I dont have any trouble cargo scooping.
The trick is to shoot at the cargo hatch, when i goes down wait to see if the t9 is loosing cargo, if it is wait before shooting again. When there is more than 10 military info out there, forget about the t9 and pick them up. Then leave and repeat.
Thanks for the tip OP, I will soon fly in a Python

You know, you only see 'Bond' written everywhere on your screen. How you think 'bond' is 'bounds' is utterly beyond me. Fsck, you even post a screen shot with the word right freakin' there. Yet you still spell it 'bounds' everywhere. Eloit Daenguoris - spaeicul sneaofleok eodietoin.
Someone call Shadowman, we need to send this thread back to Deadside.
