Loot

Blitz
Mission completed when wave 2 is killed, no need to engage wave 3.
You do not need to kill the Republic Fleet Detective to finish the mission.

From Nicole Vilshaska:

Maybe it was just a bug but, in the first room, it spawned every ship for me. Every wave in one. Needless to say it caused havoc and pandamodium on a large scale (read, my drones gone and my ship battered).

I can confirm that parts I and III are in normal space.

Like ChepeNolon, the waves for me in the first room seemed to warp in periodically, rather than after I had destroyed a trigger.

The waves for part 1 seemed to warp in periodically on my recent run - wave 5 took forever to warp in after killing wave 4.

Waves were sporadic in part 1 for me as well, took better part of 40 mins to complete that part.

There is Veldspar, Scordite, and Omber. Its kinda spread out.
Veldspar = 834,590 - 33 roids
Scordite = 100,000 - 4 roids
Omber = 50,000 - 1 roid

Part 1 of 3.
Killing Captain does not drop "Mercenary pilot". Killing last ship does.

I found that on Part 3 of 3 that Thermal was the best damage to deal. Drake with passive tank.

Just finished it, the last dude that completes the mission dropped a +3 int implant.

Part 1: Periodic waves (no apparent trigger) (Possible trigger on biggest ship per wave, with a timer: ie. Next spawn comes a minute after killing Merc Elims)
New waves aggro drones

Also, confirming Parts 1 and 3 are Normal Space, single pocket.

Very little grief from the 3rd spawn in #3 more trouble from the support cruisers.

Did find that thermal damage far better - which is expected for Minmitar.

Nearly all Enemy doin Kinetic damage.
The D-1 Support Frigate orbits at 2000m very quickly (~450 m/s) and has a very
strong shield booster. Guys with Gunboads may fit some RL to get rid of it.
(4 Hammerhead I's couldn't break the shield(booster)...)

If your tank can take waiting for them to come closer and you intend to loot/salvage, they will all come within tractor range in part 1.

Part 1/3: Do not bother bringing a good ship trying to blitz this mission (hint * tengu * hint) - i.e. when you are just harvesting standings. You will die of boredom waiting for next spawns to appear. As every full wave is killable in 30 to 60 seconds, you will spend next ten minutes staring at empty space, even long after you looted all wrecks (not that there will be many). Next wave, rinse, repeat, again and again. I didn't time it, but it probably took about 30-50 minutes to finish (I had plenty of time to prepare some food and register on eve-suvival while waiting for spawns, among other), while in total being max. 2-3 minutes in actual fight. Good mission for a properly fitted T1 frigate/cruiser, anything above is overkill. Even then, it's probably not worth the time.

Best damage to deal: Thermal, secondary Kin/Exp.

Part 3/3: As stated, is full of regular Republic Fleet ships, expect significant standing loss with Minmatar.

Conclusion: If you are in hurry and/or don't specifically hate Minmatar, just skip the arc.

Mission information is still accurate for Part 1.
Comment by Fr3akwave

Damage Types in Part 3 Definitely are Kinetic + Explosive.
All heavy missiles fired in this part are scourge missiles except the final 2 BC, they fire explosive missiles. Projectile turrets are firing with explosive so theres no thermal in this Part at all.

The BC are not really that tough as it is described but you dont have to fight them anyways. I found 2nd wave a lot more dangerous, maybe because i had thermal hardener fitted while they fired a hailstorm of scourge missiles :)

And I have to agree with DogNose:
If you use a gunship, be sure to have at least one assault launcher or rocket launcher fitted in addition to drones since those support frigs have a good shield tank and are quite fast. take them out with your turrets while still at range, saves you from a lot of trouble

Don't miss to loot in Part I! You might find a Basic Implant (+3)

(Check the entries above.)
Flamming111: Imp droped by Thukker Mercenary Captain.
HarbyHarby: Imp dropped by the last NPC

Confirming. In 3rd part damage are kinetic and explosion. No thermal. And 3rd wave quite easy.

the omber asteroid in part 1 (lvl3) has been removed with "eve incursion" update :(
got this mission several times since there - no omber anymore.
Comment by UnstoppableDave
2011-02-15 15:40:49
In part 1, I timed it, and the waves spawned about every 3 to 3.5 minutes. That is, three minutes after the previous wave had *spawned*, not eliminated.
Done in 15 minutes in a legion. So either the times are random, but the same for all spawns, or this mission has been updated to make the waves spawn faster since many of the comments here were posted.

The spawns in Part 1 will still come in on schedule even if you warped out, so you will have a welcoming party waiting for you when you warp back in. :)

used a navy vexor with Valkyrie Tech 2 drones and 250 mm railguns with lead ammo. armor tanked and kitted from 55Km. last wave the Caption's laser dealt the most damage which depleted shield slowly and started to chew into armor but Tech 2 repair module handled dps. My suggestions in the last wave, kill everyone else first and leave the Caption's ship last. There easier and quick to kill and this way less dps to deal with.

Completed mission 3 of 3 and it took 13 minutes. First wave was 80+ km and second wave was 120+km's. Mjolnir heavy misiles and Nova light missiles used. First wave frigates rush in for brawling, and webbed and painted. Changed drones from Berserker I's to Valkyrie II's after first wave and second and thrid wave was much easier to deal with. Last wave had 3 ships as noted above and was very easy to deal with. Deal with destroyers first and then with BS. Tacktic was to kite 55Km out. Total gear picked up was 13mil worth.

Passive Tanked Drake, easy missions

Part 1 about 10m loot and salvage
Part 2 boring AF, autopilot that shit
Part 3 approx 6m loot and salvage
Easy mission, didn't drop below 85% shields

Part 1 - Too easy. Mostly waiting for the next wave to spawn. No implant dropped for me. loot ~3.5m ISK
Part 2 - Nothing special about this courier mission.
Part 3 - Wave 2 did more damage than wave 3 on me. BC's went down just fine with medium drones. 7.5m in loot, 500K in salvage
Easy in T1.5 Myrmidon and T1 drones
