Sometimes, the ship numbers are a little off or just different, as are their names. For instance, in Mission 5 (Cowardly Commander), Pocket 1, Wave 1, I got 4 BS's (Plague Lords) and 4 Cruisers (Phantasm's). Pocket 2, the initial group can have different names. This can become quite troublesome in identifying a trigger.
Pocket 2, waves 1a and 1b apparently should be switched (and different names can pop up) and one of the waves (1a, in this guide) contained scramblers for me.

I didn't identify all different names, but be careful if you follow this guide to the letter; you may run into some trouble. Overall, good guide, tho, thank you for providing it, Sturmwolke. :)

Note: You cant scramble the Commander on Mission 4 - Raging Sansha, and its actually about half shields that he disappears at and causes 3 more cruisers to spawn.

Mission 5 - Cowardly Commander
Pocket 3, I found, Imperial Dominator is trigger for the first wave, the one lonely BS flying at range. ( 42km ) I managed to save him till last.
Trigger for the 2nd wave was the last BS in group A of the first wave, I killed the outer orbiting BS first.
Completed in a Dominix with ease. 1xANLAR, 2xEM 2xTherm 1xDCUII ANP. Did most of it in an armor tanked Ishtar, only stopped at Cowardly Commander room 2, because I thought the DPS/NOS would be just too overwhelming, though I was playing it extra safe.

Worth noting here, the gates on Mission 5 are not locked. My tactic was to go in kill neut towers and web/scram rats then move to next room to avoid respawns.

In Mission 5, Room 2, my experience was that waves 1A and 1B are spawned only after killing ALL of the battlecruisers or elite cruisers, not just one. Players may be able to reduce DPS in that pocket by killing all but one of each cruiser type, unless I just got improbably lucky in saving the unmarked cruiser trig for last.

As with Lalvasse, Waves 1A/B were only triggered on the kill of the last of each class rather than the first.

Amarr Epic Arc - Chapter 1

Mission 1 - Aiding an Investigator
Travel to agent

Mission 2 - Late Reports
Combat = single pocket

Mission 3 - The Outclassed Outpost
Combat = single pocket

Mission 4 - Raging Sansha
Combat = single pocket

Mission 5 - Cowardly Commander
Combat = 3 pockets

In Pocket 1 the Energy Neut Towers were out of range for my guns (T3 Cruiser) so I lead the Initial Group out past 250km range. When the Group got out there, I warped out and back to mission site again, destroyed the Towers and then worked on the ships.

Mission 5 blitz worked great, just have to destroy any Ewar / scram Frigates if they get in range before you activate gates.

After landing in pocket 1, proceeded out to 265km range from Neut Towers, when rat pack was about 100km away from gate, warped in to 0km and activated gate.
