Well not really... the serps hire the angels to protect their sorry a$$e$ 
But seeing Elder Core Enforcers (serpentis), a Gist Domination Malakim (angels) and Centus Tyrants(sansha) all in the same place was kinda.....weird
edit: the stronghold dropped me a can identical to what every normal high-end cruiser drops

this is my domi setup for lvl3 missions have done most of the thougher ones without problems
6 heavy neutron blasters (cruiser sized guns)
1 mwd or ab, 4 cap recharger 1
1 L armor rep, 1 Med T2 armor rep, explosive, kinetic and thermal hardner, 2 CPR`s
I ussually take on 2 groups at a time with this setup in deadspace
and use berserker drones for heavy's and hammerheads for med drones
control of more then 10 drones is a minimum to really do decent dmg
use med drones on the inty's and frigs then switch for the heavy's for the cruisers you didnt kill yet with the blasters

Doing this solo right now - just moving to 3rd level.
No rats have gone agro on me at warp in yet - which is just as well, be a bit dead if they had. I just put in some distance and chuck torps at um - pretty easy so far.

The problem with most of the Extravaganza missions, is that you nearly alway come thru the gate ON TOP of most of them: They get plenty of shots in, before you can even orientate yourself.....

The problem was the agent looks into your hangar and sees what ship you have then tailors the mission accordingly... Now doing level 4 missions in a Vexor everything is going fine... I would die if they locked me but they are too busy trying to lock the drones...

Well, whatever you do, do not fire on the sentries and they will all argo you. I did the Guristas variant of this mission, and had around 25 battleships in total, with around 8 at each level. No more than 3 fired on me at any one time, so it was fairly easy (but a horrible time sink!).

Well in my hanger i have...
2 megathrons
1 Raven
1 Enyo
1 Taranis
1 Destroyer
1 Battle cruiser
So i dont think it can be about ships not really, or they give me some retarded missions
i just seem to get all the dam hard ones, well thats what u get for using a lvl4 personal agent i guess, u do all the personal crap lol
i have done the serp extrav but i didnt go at it alone, took 1 raven 1 megathron 1 domi, and a BC with multi warpouts...
but there is a armor repairer bug out and CCP say they will fix in soon "3 weeks maybe" LOL

Just did this mission without too much trouble.
The trick is to keep calm as you warp in and see all the red crosses.
Do not target anything and start shooting.
Let them target you first as they do so in one group at the time, then you start taking out the group that targeted you first.
The rest of the rats won't do anything to you.
Then you proseed with one group at the time.
Do not use drones as they can wander off to another group witch then will aggro on you.

I did this mission solo last night. It wasnt easy but it is doable. Start aligning for warp the instant you come out of warp. Target the frigs, kill as many ships as you can then warp out.
Rinse and repeat.
It did take me about 6 hours to do this and countless warps, but roughly 20 mil in bounty.
third stage is just as bad as second tbo.
another 5 or 6 BS there.
CCP should remove the big arse ROCK right in fron of the beacon when you warp in on stage 2.
your basically trapped between a rock and a ton of very very agressive BS's. Ive got caps if anyone wants to see them, however the current view isnt large enough to show all the ships that are there :)
Also the 3rd stage has 4 - 1.75m mega, 1 - 2.5 m, and 1 or 2 - 500k dom.
in the third stage all you really have to do is kill the Serp leader and mission is complete, however i decided to make them pay for all my time and ammo.
Raven
6 4100 launchers
2 Modal Neutron Blasters
2 thermal 1 kin hardner
XL C5L
2 Cap recharge 2's
5 PDU 2's

I lost my Ferox to a level 3 Guristas Extravaganza last night....
....first Pirate Extravaganza mission, and I'm expecting it to be hard, so I break out the shield hardeners for the first time, and recruit some help from local.
Warp in, start working on the first few cruisers... and EVE locked up for the first time on me, taking my computer with it...
I was hoping and praying that I had just escaped with hull, but alas, when I finally managed to log back I was staring at an EGG :|

Yeah that sucks mate. There should be EVE black box. So one could petition if they loose ship to a server crash.. I guess some ppl have extreme value mod's tied to a mission running ship.

This mission must never be nerfed or changed because it's "hard".
It's about right where it should be - omg - it's a lovly mission! :D
And yes, you should come prepared - thermal & kin hardeners.
Im using an AB on my Apoc too - so Im able to stay in my opt range for much much longer without the rat's ending up on the top of my hull too fast.
Remember your hardeners, cap, damage mods, repairers/boosters and your scotch - and you'll be swinging :D
Total bounty for the whole mission is about 25 Mill.
Thank you CCP - great work with this one!

did the guristas one in my raven, np but lots of bs's to kill had to go back for ammo a few times. also to the guy who posted saying that it was one of the easyer level 4's, thats because they were bugged at first and you get the level 3 varient from your level 4 agent... if you get it again you will change your mind, most i had was 7-8bs's in one stage with 4x agroing me at once. they seemed to agro in groups not locations... so make sure you only fire apon ships that are shooting you so you dont agro another group (had all 4-5 agro groups in one big ass clump scared the **** out of me untill i realized that not all agroed at once). and what ever you do dont shoot the sentry guns till the end or you will die. but ya raven for the win
My total bounties for the mission was around 37M isk
4x limos seige
2x standard seige
2x heavy nos
2x thermal
2x kenetic
1x large sheild booster II
1x sheild boost amp
5x pdu II

The worst part is I'm still waiting on the Petition for it, and from my estimation its been about 3 days now; petition was filed on Monday night :(
