Stage 1 -

No insta aggro

Shot leftmost group, that and the foremost group aggroed. Released Sentry Drones to take out frigs long range, no problem. Changed to Berserkers and it instantly aggroed the whole shebang. No problem tanking the whole spawn, just know what you are doing. Just don't panic, and you'll be fine.

Take out a lot of cruisers first until the BS's are close to you, then go at the BS's until they are all down. Then take out those pesky frigs and the remaining long-range cruisers/BC's.

5 BS
2 BC
9 Cruiser
12 Frig

Stage 2 -

No insta aggro. Some frigs, insanely many cruisers and many BSs.

Taking out the group of frigs would not aggro anything else.
Then taking out the rightmost group (cruisers and 3x BS) would also keep the rest at bay.

In case of total aggro, just move away and take out the fastest moving ships first. Then you can spread out the DPS a bit.

6 BS
22 Cruiser
2 Indy's
16 Frigs (2 of which are arch angel frigs....probably scram)

Shoot transport, pick up mission objective and go home. Have a cigar!

Salvage of the entire mission yeilded about 80 items for rigs, and other various equipment.
