Tip
- To reduce incoming DPS from spawn: eliminate the Mercenary Commanders first. Watch out for any scrambling frigates and shift your primary target accordingly.
- Mission is flagged completed after you have eliminated the Shadow. Don't forget to loot the Report dropped [needed to complete the mission].
Blitz
- Eliminate the Mercenary Overlord battleship to trigger the spawn. Watch out for any incoming Mercenary Wingman frigates that web/ scramble.
- Eliminate Shadow. Loot the Report dropped and warp out.
- The Report is not a specific item. This mission can be completed using any Report sold by NPC Corps on the market.
Optional Approach
- Warp in, align, kill Overlord, instantly warp out before scramblers lock on, then warp back at 50- 100km, make sure you're outside of cruiser's range. Then aggro and use mwd to separate frigs. Count on webbing if frigs come too close! After this keep aligning of course.
- Select "warp-to" distance between 50- 100km, kill all the initial ships but kill the Overlord last then pick off the spawn as they approach.
