Spawn may aggro drones. You may [Fleet] warp to preferred range distance. Don't forget to loot the //Reports// needed to complete the mission. {{color hex="#DD0000" text="Warning"}}: The spawn's six [[http://npc.elfarto.com/view.php?id=12835 | Shadow's Grunt Cruisers]] spawn at the beacon, deal a high amount of EM damage and is accompanied by web/ scramble Frigates. ==== Single Pocket ==== === Center Group (23km, Beacon) === 1x Battleship (Mercenary Overlord) **Trigger** === Left Group (90- 100km) === 6x Frigate (Mercenary Wingman) **Web/ Scramble** === Right Group (123- 128km) === 4x Cruiser (Mercenary Lieutenant) ===Spawn (20- 25km) === 4x Frigate (Shadow's Wingman - Mercenary Wingman) **Web/ Scramble** 6x Cruiser (Shadow's Grunt - Mercenary Commander) 2x Battleship (Shadow's Goon - Mercenary Overlord) 1x Battleship (Shadow - Mercenary Overlord) ==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 //Reports// dropped and warp out (any //Reports// sold by NPC Corps on the market may be used). ==Tip== Start with the Grunt Cruisers to reduce incoming DPS from the spawn. Watch out for any scrambling Frigates and shift your primary target accordingly. == Optional Approach == 1) Warp in, align, kill the 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 a MWD to separate the frigates. Count on webbing if Frigates come too close! After this keep aligning of course. 2) Select "warp-to" distance between 50- 100km, kill all the initial ships and the **Overlord** last then pick off the spawn as they approach. 3) Tank the Overlord and snipe everything else, Micro Jump and snipe the Overlord and Spawn. ==Mining== 32 Veldspar asteroids (14- 30km, ~279,059 units). == Loot and Bounty == Loot + Salvage: [[http://evepraisal.com/e/15889550 | ~5 mil]] Bounty: ~2.1 mil == Ship Detail == ""
