Pocket 1

Auto aggro from Group 1 at warp-in. No aggro from Group 2. Deploying your drones will aggro Group 2.

DAMAGING the highest bounty battleship in Group 1 will trigger the Reinforcement Group spawn.

Important Notes:

   * There's fleet aggro in this pocket. First pilot to warp in will get the aggro from Group 1, but no aggro from Group 2 as per normal.
   * Remaining fleet members who warped in later will receive aggro from Group 2 when they start to open fire on Group 1.

Pocket 1 Spawn Locations

Group 1 (Auto-aggro): (15-31km) 2x Elite Frigates (Dire Pithi Wrecker/Plunderer) Web/Scramble 4x Battleships (Pith Dismantler/Obliterator/Destroyer) Trigger (highest bounty battleship)

Group 2: (75-85km) 4x Elite Cruisers (Dire Pithum Inferno/Mortifier) 3x Battlecruisers (Pithatis Assassin/Assaulter)

Reinforcement Group (Auto-aggro): (117-120km) 4x Battlecruisers (Pithatis Assassin/Enforcer) 4x Battleships (Pith Eliminator/Exterminator/Destroyer) ECM Jammer (Eliminator/Exterminator)

Tip

   * The warp gate is unlocked. It is not necessary to kill any of the ships in Pocket 1.

Pocket 2

No aggro at warp-in.

No pocket aggro if Group 1 or Group 3 is attacked (in any order). Drones can be deployed safely to attack these groups. Attacking Group 2 will aggro Group 3.

DAMAGING the highest bounty battleship in Group 2 will trigger the Reinforcement Group spawn.

Tip

   * Destroying the Starbase Control Tower will prevent reinforcement group from appearing. It will however, aggro Group 2 in the process.
   * Recommended order of elimination : Group 1, Group 3 and finally Group 2 (also including Reinforcement Group if triggered).
   * Mission is flagged completed once you have eliminated ALL ships in Group 3.

Blitz

   * Pocket 1: Warp through the gate without killing anything.
   * Pocket 2: Aggro Group 3 (only) and eliminate ALL ships in Group 3. Warp out.
