This mission contains 1 initial wave and 4 extra waves that is triggered upon destroying a certain ship in the previous wave. The waves is picked randomly out of a pool of several types of waves. Trigger is usually an unique battleship. If there are only one type of battleships or two unique battleships, the trigger is pretty random. Try to figure out by placement.

Kosh Maranek reports:
Was able to maintain range favourable to the optimal range of my Maelstrom. Used Titanium Sabot for targets between 50 - 100 km and then EMP for targets
under 50 km. Since everything aggro's as soon as it spawns use that to your advantage specially when in a gunboat. Pick of smaller vessels first and then
take out BS's. Didn't take many hits, except the Seraphim has cruise missiles that hit me at 130km, Malakim and Saint's have Exp torpedos that started
hitting around 70 - 75km. With 2 EXP hardeners damage from the Exp Torps should be minimal specially if shield tanking.
