Exactly 6,447,561 veldspar in pocket 2. Have to drive thru pocket one to get it, but worked fairly well with Hulks and an Orca.

Pretty good bounties if you kill everything, had to warp out twice using a CNR.

Found it very easy in a standard tanked mega, if inc dmg is a problem keep them outside 20k, almost all ships are close range Optimal
