| Best Damage Type to Use During Stage: Kinetic, Therm, though it varies a lot.
Best Resistances to Have During Stage: not sure, maybe just Kin/Therm
No enemies on warp in, have to destroy buildings to get them to come out.
Spawn 1 (20km, no aggro)
- 1 Battleships (Syndicate Veteran Dominix, Megathron, or Hyperion)
- 5 Battleships (Minmatar mixed)
- 5 Cruisers (Syndicate Veteran Thorax, Exequror, Celestis)
- 3 Frigates (Syndicate Veteran Atron, Tristan)
The Syndicate Veteran ships are fast (500+) and have blasters. This means that they don't seem threatening until they are on top of you and then they kick your butt. Also due to their speed, your heavy drones may not be able to keep up and switch targets on you (very annoying). Tank for the Minmatar ships with at least one thermal hardener. Let the Syndicate Veteran Battleship live while you kill the Minmatar ships and other Syndicate Veteran ships. Killing him triggers spawn 2.
After killing one set of Battleships, another spawn:
Spawn 2 (20km, auto aggro, drone aggro)
- 3 Battleships (Syndicate Veteran Hyperion, Dominix)
Pretty simple if you've killed off the Minmatar ships.
After killing Battleships, another spawn:
Spawn 3 (20km, auto aggro, drone aggro)
- 4 Battleships (Syndicate Veteran Megathron, Hyperion, Dominix)
This group sent my dual large rep Domi packing with 30% structure (I held out for my ogre II drones to return). I switched tank to 2x thermal and 1x kinetic and they went down easy.
No loot from structures. 11 Veldspar rocks 50-90k away from warp in
