Finished in a Drake, used Blitz on 10/10. Battleships bounty reward is 500-700k each. Max range on them is 35k, easily outranged, but bring a lot of DPS because they have decent armor tanks.

10/10 final room had the following
Right Spawn BS
3x Corpus Apostle, orbit 38K
2x Corpus Harbingers, orbit at 17K and use NOS

Left Spawn BS
3x Corpus Patriarch, orbit 17k
2x Corpus Cardinal, orbit 50k

this may have been because i ran the mission in a BS

10/10 gives about 11 million in bounties. add the 1 million bonus and a 12 million impant gives around 24 million ISK thats without the loot or the salvage! very worthwhile mission to go through right to the end

Completed entire storyline in a Navy Issue Omen. 10/10, Pocket 3, Group 2, the destroyers were killed WITHOUT aggroing battleships. After that, battleship group was speed tanked by a single Hobgoblin II.

Group 3 however attacking the destroyers aggro'd the battlecruisers which in turn aggro'd the battleships. Battleships could not hit my Omen unless I misclicked in turning and came to a near complete stop. After clearing out the destroyers and battlecruisers a quick warp out and back in would allow drone tanking of the battleships again if necessary (it wasn't).

Part 6 has sent me into lowsec every time I've done this series, so be warned.

Very easy, if a little slow, in crappy T1 fit Arbitrator with good support skills. In 10/10 room 3 killed middle group, cleared Destroyers and Battlecruisers from the side groups, warped out after each group, used light drones to speed tank Battleships, looted the 3 implants from the Dark Blood Chapel, warped out.
