Tips
- To manage aggro, do not kill the trigger ships all at once. Eliminate an incoming reinforcement group first, before you trigger the next group.
- Warp in, create a bookmark and warp back at any range. The NPC drones can be easily sniped with this tactic.
- The Alvus Ruler/Supreme Parasite battleships max attack distance is approx 50-55km, and they move very slowly.
- Mission is flagged completed after ?
Blitz
- The initial drones nearly form a square. There is one drone that is outside that square. That's the one to kill. It can be hard to spot, unless you zoom out.
- Note: Some still don't get the blitz to work, even though they get a more difficult spawn from the drone. The mission doesn't complete after that one.
