Structures
No Structures drop loot.Tips
Fire on the bottom group to get aggro from 3 groups. Different groups may aggro but the strength is the same.Alternatively, fire on the BACK group ( one with the Jakars ) and only that group and the jakars will aggro, the remaining groups usually then aggro separately.
If you can, kill the frigs while they approach with their MWDs
Amarr Navy Jakars deal a lot of damage and tank very strongly with EM being the lowest resist at 50%. The mission requirement (Amarr Light Marines) can normally be found in a can dropped by one of the Jakars, but sometimes it is dropped by a Maller
The Sentries will only fire on you if you get close to them (Around 30-40km)
Update:
Attacking the Jakars will aggro all the groups.
Update:
The proper way to do this mission safe is to attack LEFT group first, but this is tricky to do - the low group has proximity agro around 50km (I have to confirm thsi one and edit the text to contain the proper range) which means neither you, your buddies or your drones can get too close to them. That agroes jakar group and the left group. Start heading away with as good speed as you can adn downing frigates with guns, and drones when the enemy is beyond agro range of the low group.
All Interceptors orbit between 3000m and 6300m, Smartbombs can be used but faction ones (Shadow Serpentis Large Plasma) are required to eliminate all interceptors. Standard Large Plasma will NOT be sufficient to kill all interceptors. Drones work fine but the number of interceptors in the third pocket is high.
BLITZ
In the last pocket, attack the top group. Kill the top group and the other groups which aggro once you start firing. You should have aggro from four Jakar's. The last one should drop a cargo container next to its wreck, triggering the mission completed. Loot the can and take it back to complete the misson.
