Snipers can warp [fleet] at 70 or 100km.
All groups and spawns will auto-aggro.
Set your drones to passive to keep them from taking out trigger ships that could cause swarming, and watch them for frequent aggro.
Following the trigger sequence is advisable for sniper too, since even the Battleships move in fast.
The last Hostile killed of a ship class triggers the next spawn unless marked otherwise.
The Frigate spawn may not show up.
The naming convention under the Overview for "Type" and "Name" is swapped. This results in "Angel Assault Cruiser" being seen as the default name, instead of "Arch Gistum Phalanx".

- Kill Initial Group
- Ignore the Assault Frigates, and focus on the Reinforcement wave (triggered by the Frigate(s)).
- You may want to kill some or all of the Assault Cruisers and Battlecruisers to reduce incoming damage.
- Kill the scrambler Frigates. Kill all the battleships, done.
- With the new drone changes, it becomes difficult to blitz this particular mission unless you are willing to sacrifice drones at the end (Align to object, deploy drones, let them get aggro, recall and warp, some or all will pop) or to pop all the scram frigs along the way as well. Or mount a MJD and snipe the triggers from afar.
Tip
- Mission is flagged completed after you have killed the last Battleship.
- All Battleships will fight using Bane Torpedoes. Other missile damage should be negligible.
- A jump drive will be your friend during this mission. It's much easier to take everything out from a distance.
- If you are using drones, and if they start shooting at your drones, just bring them in for a second.
- Fitting a Sensor Booster and flying away from the Angel Scout Post (around which all ships spawn) to your optimal range is advisable.
