Intended for Cruiser missile ships such as a Caracal.
First and most important: shoot the trigger lastly.
Warp-in in 0km from location, kill all but the trigger.
Then kill the Starbase Stasis Tower, since it slows you down to ~50% speed.
Here is why: when the next wave spawns after killing the first trigger (Anarchist), the new wave will come at you with 400+ m/s, while you are slowed
down in a generally slow cruiser. So kill the tower. Then kill the trigger.
The next wave spawns. They fly towards you and the moment they hit your heavy missile's maximum range, you choose a ship out of the nearest group and keep it
at range. Doing this will have you fly backwards, away from the group making use of your superior distance with missiles. While doing this always keep track
of your speedometer: if the ship you chose to keep range to slows down, your ship will slow down, too and the other ships close ranks. Shoot the trigger at
last and repeat this until the last wave is done.
I recommend 2 Ballistic Control Systems for low slots, an Afterburner and 4 or 5 Heavy Missile Launchers.
