I see I'm not the only one with questions about this mission.
I'm currently grinding Caldari Navy to get to L4's. I've got 15mil SP so tanking l4's is not a problem. But since I can only do up to L3's for Caldari Navy then why is it giving me a mission with 5 BS's? This is the equivalent of a L4. I didn't stick around long enough to see if the frigates web/scram. I was not flying anything capable of tanking such a mission. My sympathies to the noobs trying to figure out how to do this one.
There is no entry on Eve-survival.org for this mission.

I believe this mission to be a level 5 storyline becuase 1) it gives a +5 implant and 2) it's harder than a level 4. Both times i have done it, ut's had a 6-7m bounty domination battleship in, that drops a Halo implant. (Alpha both times, but probably random).
Odd thing is it's being given to LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 mission runners
I've got into it because i've bene helping them out. There's no way they can complete it.
So I guess I'll go run level 1-2 minmatar missions now. A +5 (120 million) a Halo (70 million) and 40m of bounty sounds tempting.
I don't know if this is a level 5 mission or at least not a l5 I've ever seen though I've only done a couple. It would be similar to an l5 in the fact that you're immediately aggroed by all spawned ships and there are subsequent spawns afterward. The l5's I've been on seem to have a lot more ships though. However, I don't believe it to be a hisec level 4 either. I lost a BS to this mission. I tank hisec l4's all day. My T2 drones hardly dented the frigates. Got a friend in a Tengu to help try to complete the mission. We're still in the process. However, I did come in with a salvager. Although he had aggro from all the npc, I also received aggro. No, there is something weird about this mission.It's sort of like sleepers. Since I've never done a lowsec or nullsec l4 I can't say for sure. But I do know this is not a hisec l4. If it is a hisec l4 we're all in a bunch of trouble because these npc killed my BS from 100km out.

Then you're probably correct. I filed a petition. Doubt I'll get my BS back. But one has to try.

Just got a reply from a GM for my petition of this mission. Keep in mind this is a LEVEL 2 storyline mission. Paraphrase of reply as follows:
The mission is working as intended. No issues can be verified.
Can we say ashats?
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this expansion is not the industry expansion it was made out to be. It is the mission nerf expansion. Not much point playing this game any longer.

Asking for help is not the point. Personally, I tank l4's all day. Does this mission even belong in a l1 and l2 mission category? It doesn't even belong in a l4 mission category.
Seriously, if CCP's intent is to raise the bar and make missions more difficult so that they can't be completed by a missioner then what's the point in striving to overcome their difficulties.
With the recent mission assignment changes and this addition to l1 l2 mission categories, if you have negative standings and desperately need to raise them it's going to be impossible.
Really....WTF is CCP smoking. I want some it.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- My luck. So many beginners are getting this mission. All I can do is tank for them. 
You don't need to be a noob. You just need to be doing level 1 and level 2 missions. I'm doing them for caldari navy. Dunno about other agents.

Must be nice.. I lost my Gila in room 2 and I didnt get it back.
If the petition is still open ask for clarification as to why you're not getting your ship back. If it's closed file another.
I asked for clarification on my petition and while they did not address the mission they did reimburse the ship.....it was a different GM.

Mission isn't hard to solo, if you are able to do lvl4 missions, on the other hand the one I completed was a mission of my friend who was doing L1 missions in a rifter :D.
First pocket is easy, second was tough, had to warp out my Maelstrom couple of times and that was it.
I've had it confirmed by a GM that this is indeed a L5 storyline mission, I would not categorize it as a soloable l4 mission without some heavy skills.....a lot of us don't have those.
