the lookout was 24km away on warp-in.
4 frigates, 2 cruisers, and 3 BS were in two formations in the first pocket, but aggro as one group. range was from 40km to 60km. (2 frigates and 3 BS to left, 2 frigates and 2 cruisers to right)
structures are abandoned residential habitation modules, freight pads, and serpentis slave transports.
wave one spawns immediately at 30km. wave 2 follows this pattern, spawning as the last of wave 1 dies. wave 2 was 3 frigates and 2 BS for me.
wave 3 was 3 BS and 2 BC.
drone aggro appeared normal, compared to other current L4 combat missions.
Completed in a T2 Drake w/ active shield hardeners + arbalest launchers.
As typical: orbit Superstructure at desired range, push missile button, push drone button; rinse and repeat.
Wave 2 was 2 frig/2 BS and wave 3 was 2 BS/2 BC for me
The trigger for the 1st Reinforcement wave was the last frigate popped from the Initial Group, not the "last ship" of the group.
Watch for drone aggro from the "Elite" frigates. They'll switch aggro to your drones quickly (and repeatedly) so keep an eye on them.
