In the third pocket, there's an extreme amount of Plagioclase (~50 roids), Pyroxeres(~25 roids) and Veldspar(50-100 roids) located near the second group.

In the pocket room, there's about the same amount of veld as in pocket 3, but no pyrox nor plag. This is just locate near what is defined as the "right group", ie relatively close to the warp-in.

The gates are not unlocked, as I had to kill everything to activate each gate.

Just follow the advice. No nasty spawns and triggers. No problems in a rokh with T2 stuff.

Bounty: 6,1 mill
Mission: 2,3 mill
Loot and salvage: 7,2 mill (Takes a bit of time because of the distance to wrecks)
Total: 15,6 mill --> 10,4 mill/h

There is no loot from the structures. The only one I didn't blew up was the Asteroid Factory in the 4th room.

A Raven has a real walk-in-the-park on this mission; Thermal and Kinetic Hardeners reduce the damage to almost nothing.
Aggregate Bounties: 5.885 mill ISK

Pocket 3, group 2 started to aggro at 105km. Saved me a long run.

As expected, if Pocket 1, group 1 does not aggro when you enter, you can shoot group 2 without it aggroing group 1.

Core Rear Admirals appear to use inter ship sensor boosters. When there are two or more of them, they can hit from 55km, but when there is only one left, it can't hit beyond about 45km. At 70km, even three of them together can't hit you.

I ran into such incredible jamming it took me an hour or more to finish the first pocket. I was so exhausted I just quit the d##n thing.

I advise a SeBo if you're being damped alot. I run serp missions occasionally, and a single SeBo with a range script assuages all problems.

Finished in Maelstrom equiped with sensor booster for sniping. Absolutly no problems.
Pocket 1: First shoot dampening cruisers.
Pocket 2: Kill group 1, dampening cruiser first as well. Drones will take care of frigs + some low bounty frigs can be shot with artilery 25+ away. Group 2 can be easily sniped 0km far from warp gate.
Pocket 3: No aggro, 1st shoot dampening cruisers in group 1. Both group 2 and group 3 can be sniped without moving from plalce.

Finished in 35 minutes.

drone sniper Domi. T1 Wardens, 3 drone link augmentor, 2 omnidirectional tracking links, and a sensor booster+range script for locking range. NPC's barely got in range to do any dmg. The 1st gate is def unlocked, scoot past those small ships.

First gate is unlocked into pocket one - can no longer blitz killing only left group in pocket 3 - I had to kill all NPC's to complete mission. (DPS is very light just take care of frigs before anything else).
