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.
- You may warp-in at any distance : Inititate the first time warp, cancel it and then warp in at your preferred distance.
- The Alvus Ruler/Supreme Parasite battleships can be sniped or outrunned. Their max attack distance is approx 50-55km, and they move very slowly.
- Mission is flagged completed after ?
Blitz
- There are four drones. One of the drones is noticeably farther away from the other 3 drones. Zoom out and change the view around to different angles until you can see which drone is farther away from the other 3. Kill this drone, new ships will spawn, kill the new ships.
- The drone to blitz can be a Bomber Alvum or a Defeater Alvatis. It seems random. So just look for the one that is farthest away and stands out on its own.
