Tips

Using Sentry drones within about 80km of a group causes the whole room to aggro. However, in each stage it's possible to position yourself distance-wise so that you can happily take out at least the first group without aggro'ing the others (except as noted).

Blitz

Pocket 1: Kill all ships.

Pocket 2: Kill group 3 (the group with the Mordus Mammoth.) attacking a ship of group 3 will get you stage aggro. To avoid that, fly towards the right edge of the group and wait until the ships of group 3 start attacking your ship. Afterwards you can take down the ships without aggroing the rest in room 2.

The following tip may not be applicable to this rewrite - Corrections would be appreciated

For the people using abbadon apocalypse, and paladins w/megapulse lasers. there is a very safe way of doing this mission, room 1 and 2:

Get into weapons range of the bounty hunters around 55km with radio. attack and kill both of them. this will aggro the entire room, once the attack starts then turn left and fly parallel with the incoming group.

Target priority should be Frigates, cruisers and then battleships once they reach 20-25km. light drones will make short work of the frigates
