with a +10 speed ubese shirt and a 520+ T21 it takes aproximately 20-30 seconds for the mokk/janta lair and all surounding mokks/janta to die if everything goes right. What I do is drive my swoop straight at the lair, since they pretty much fixed the warp thing I dismount when I hit the lair and start in on strafe2, what this does is cause all the mokks/janta to run at the lair as I run away, concentrating them into my cone of fire, I then run out to 64m firing the whole way, normally everything is dead but the shammans by the time I get to 64m and the shammans die either right as they get to me, or shortly thereafter. Potential problems I run into include the switching combat target bug, and terrain problems (trees in the way as I run out to 64m, causing directional changes which can put the baddies out of the cone of fire. KD's and being forced to kneeling also happen and can slow things down and dizzies suck but still takes less than a minute. I run an auto loot macro that does /loot corpse;/loot;/pause 1;/macro autoloot which will try to loot a nearby corpse or whatever I have targeted (sometimes the corpse it tries to loot with /loot corpse isn't the closest corpse, which is why I have 2 lines so I can target the corpse I want to loot as I run by). I also get guild members to help me, since I'm in an entertainer guild and most have 0 combat skills they have no reliable means to make money. What they do is go to a mission terminal, find a 30+k mokk/janta mission in the direction and at the distance I specify, then run out, get the WP to update, and I hunt down thier missions with nearest mission to group WP, normally 2 people helping is about ideal for maximizing thier profit on it. Since with looting I can make 500k an hour, I just pool all the money at the end, take out my 500k for what I would have made, then evenly split the extra with them, normally they walk away with 150-200k an hour. I guarantee them nothing but the cash so all loot is mine to keep (and I get more than I normally would since I kill more of them) and I can normally get 1 semi-rare lootkit piece and 4-8 crystals in a 3 hour run, half clear, half color.


The biggest advice I can give is do NOT stop at 64m and begin spamming strafe 2, ride in on your vehicle to 20-30m and then run thru the lair while spamming strafe 2, letting them all get in your cone of fire, if you stop at 64m the guys that are farther away from the lair may start out of your cone of fire and do annoying things like knock you down while you're focusing on the lair, that and as you kill others the ones on the side may trigger the annoying target swap bug. With my method I get hit maybe 2-4 times on a mokk mission that goes good, and never on a good janta mission or a great mokk mission (mokks have higher resists but having them look for ONLY janta missions takes longer to kill than the few extra seconds for mokks)
