Apparently the ship doesn't have to be so very fast. Just completed it in a Rupture with AB II, top speed only 590 m/s. They never hit me even once. Being quick off the block seems to be more important than high top speed.

If you have a cruiser with AB and drones use that. Get away 40km from any NPC's without damaging them. Then get them, because the bounty is high (3mio). If you take the last pocket, the same method is working well and the bounty high.

Drones makes this mission easy!

Medium drones(pimped skills) still take too much time. Maybe heavies?
Bunkers in 1st pocket drop no loot.
2nd pocket has lots of veldspar roids.

Excellent bounties from 80k to 260k each.

1.525M bounty for just the first pocket. About double that in loot+salvage. Not too shabby.

Took me a while to do this (not blitzing, and not with best skills) in a vexor with railguns and drones. Drones kept getting shot at, so had to keep pulling them in, and staying at range to reduce incoming DPS meant my rails were doing minimum damage. NPC ships have strong armor with repping which can take a bit of time to eat through. However I got over 3 million in bounties, at least the same again in loot and salvage, and in addition I picked up a Serpentis Gold Tag worth almost 5 million on its own, so for me it was worth the time it took. :)

1 pocket - The structures have no loot.
2 pocket - has 184 Veldspar asteroids. If you are not "blitzing" keep in mind about possible obstructions before you warp to a safe.

Well worth killing everything if you can, big bounties (200-280k) and very good loot/salvage.

Completed in a Gila (Massively overkill)
