Is this the shipyard theft mission, or a new mission I don't know yet? In any case being serpentis, expect enourmous amounts of EM/thermal damage as well as some kinetic missiles. Turrets seem most deadly as far as I have experienced.
My advice:
1) Tank to the hill in terms of EM/Thermal damage resistance (55% resistance ain't gona cut it).
2) Start repairing as soon as you exit warp, or else you will be to late.
3) During warp, figure out where to escape to and align towards that point as soon as you exit warp.
4) Don't worry about cap to much, you got to warp out several times anyway.
5) Don't do this alone, ask a buddy to come along as this increases the chance of slowly taking out enemy ship/turrets after several attempts.
The idea is to slow down the builup of damage done to you, enaugh in any case to get out in one piece or with minimal damage each time you kill one or two of theirs. After a while you will be able to bring anything down, as long as you kill someting with each pass.
This is all the advice I can give you, and this is based on the insane damage done on the level 2 'Shipyard Theft' (also storyline mission).

Never done this mission but Serpentis use hybrid weapon so KIN+THERM not EM+THERM.

Sorry, was mixing up blood raider and serpentis. I referred to the blood raider version.

Btw it's not Blood Raiders AND it's not Shipyard theft mission we are talking about, but SERPENTIS SHIP BUILDER level 4
This is an important/storyline mission where you can see a Navy issue Megathron under construction, floating in space near a big roid.
Another thing you can see in this mission is your pod floating in space, after a few seconds...

I recently lost a megathron on this mission for one reason - didnt have any WCS fitted . I know scrambling in missions is not a common case... for me that was the first time being warp scrambled by NPC thou... so it was a surprise.
Whatever... i noticed there were 3-4 BS(including the named BS which was 1.8 mil i think), about 8-10 crusiers(most of them with 100-110k bounty) and a small number of frigates that in this case didnt seem high threat.
Another problem might be you getting agroed instantly after you warp in.
All this mess wasnt real hard for tanking even in mega. Tank as usual Thermal + Kinetic(Reccomended lows: L Armor repper T2, Med AR T2, 2x Thermal + Kinetic hardener, 2x WCS), and aim at targets you can kill fastest. Within few warps you should be able to finish the mission. As i said above they dont hurt THAT MUCH:)
Looked like a chalenging mission thou so proceed with caution. I personaly cant wait to get it again :)
Wish you luck everybody

I'd honestly ditch the 2wcs to add the 2nd kin hard and a cpr to help your struggling cap to keep your 2 reppers alive ;); but you prolly need something bigger than large t2 to have a small safety margin, TS repper's price is dropping ... (if you plan to do many missions in safe space with mega consider investing 150-175M for a 900hp repper, it'll greatly improve your survivability)

Suggestion: the shuttles can be a great tool to discover the deeps of a npc deadspace complex, if ur ship is destroyed, keep watching from the pod before trying a new strategy. Oh, and the shuttle can also tell which ships get aggro immediately after you arribe

go with the WCS because a lot more level 3-4 missions now feature warp jamming drones and frigs.
3 should do it. Put resistances on the other low ends and a armour repairer. Large NOS up high to suck it out.
But oging with a buddy and scounting with a shuttle first is generally a good idea

Done it solo today. Loot is crap. Reward is crap. Risk - deadly. I used Enyo to clean it up and Dominix to kill the boss ( 1.5 mill megathron).

In this mission everything aggro immediately. Also, I discover something very weired, like Cataclysm cruise missiles from the both sentries doing 700 damage against 55% thermal resist in my tank.

Not on this same mission, but I've done 2 different complexes where EM heavy missles were doing 440 damage to my cruiser on AB (NOT mwd). I had a 50% hardener which cut it down to 220 damage so I managed to finish it.
I've reported it as a bug.

Sure. With setup below it took me 1 hour to kill everything in this mission ( all frigs, all crusiers, 2 sentries and 2 X 900k megathrons). However, I could not break tank of 1,5 mill named megathron.
