Blimey.
I just had this new mission, which replaces the 'Damsel in distress' lvl 4. I jumped in in a shuttle to check it out first. 'Looks reasonable' I thought to myself, so I go and get the raven. Jumping in the second time dropped me right on top of the entire spawn, Everthing agro'd at once and I barely made it out with the shield booster running full time.
You have been warned...

Tried this mission in a tanked Apoc, with 2 armour II reps going the whole spawn had me down to structure before I managed to warp out (All aggroed as I gate aligned). Before I left I noticed I had managed to blast a Spider drone into structure, lol. Think this mission must be a 'dungeon' type mission as you warp straight into the nest without 1st going thru an accel gate. Care with this 1 ppl.

Wish I knew this first. I accepted this "Deadspace" mission only to find that when I warp in its ontop of a bunch of rats that scramble you and you can guess the rest. Kinda expected a deadspace mission to start off at a gate.

Well now that you know of the gank waiting for your before you enter the DS, can't you warp in at optimal like you normally would on encounter mishes or is that not possible on DS mission BM's leading to a acceleration gate?

I had this misson yesterday aswell, i had 2 bs warp in whit gang warp (tought it would take me to gate)
Strange thing is that one BS landed dead smack in the middle of the nest, while the other was 20-30 k out.
Normaly they should ended warp at the same palce
Is it bugged?

This is a perversly hard mission. It's great! Thanks CCP!
Take out the two groups on the right and left first. Your next targets don't really matter because everyone aggro's you anyways. I focused on the spider drones, then BS's.
After several times warping in and getting my tank busted very quickly I ended up abandoning the mission because it was just getting too late, but I am really looking forward to it again when i have more time.
Webbies only, no warp scramblers or i would have absolutely lost my ship very quickly. Repairing 1000 hp per 4 sec cycle could barely keep up with damage.

Zor now fires Cataclysm cruise missiles, and the other BS fires modified Scourge (they were hitting my for ~570+ dmg, and that's with one T2 armor hardener on.
Fun mission :)

Doing the BM trick and sniping is the way to do this mission unless you can tank insane amounts of different kinds of dmg long enough to kill the 2 BS.
Fun mission :)
Gah.. quoted myself instead of editing my post.. sorry

I am hoping I was the victim of lag/a bug on this one, as I warped in , alligned for gate, started towards it and then engaged. I was able to destroy several of the smaller guys, then saw that my tank was not going to last so hit the warp button (shields at 40%).....and sat there....taking damage....and sat there..taking damage...for a full minute (according to my log)....yes I was webbed but NOT scrambled as far as I could tell,,,,scratch one raven and about 500m in mods......Here's hoping some kindly GM will here my plea and listen (and yes my destination was set...) to my petition. :)

Well i did that mission today in my Cerberus and loved it.
Here is my setup:
5xHeavy launcher with scourges
1xSB, 1xAB, 1xsensorbooster, 2 hardener(kin&therm)
4xballistics
Thats pretty much a bastard setup as i didnt want to go to highsec for new mods and just took what i had in hangar instead
I made a bookmark and then warped to 100km of that bookmark. First i took out one of the 4x30k frig spawns, then the cruisers and then the 2 BS. They didnt aggro all at once but nicely group by group, just be sure to attack zor or the structure last. The last 4x30k frig spawn i completly ignored cause they only started attacking me after zor was dead and i started firering at the structure, which got destroyed before they ever got close.

I had pretty much the same experiences with one slight exception.
I gang warped in one tanked raven + one support raven, but the support raven never made it - it was almost like it was dropped off-grid, it couldn't even move so he had to log off. The main tank ship fought a losing tank battle and eventually warped out with 60% armour missing. Thank goodness the zazz boys forgot to fit scramblers 
I like the BM return at 100km idea - will try that (if it works which it seems to).
This was my first (and only so far) RMR deadspace and i was starting to worry they had all been made gateless  - please can someone confirm that all the old deadspace missions still have gates ?

I'm doing the same mission,
First I took out the 2 groups of Seven Lookout's.
A weird thing happened,I locked all four of the group and concentrated on one by on.
I used a Heavy Nos, a Webber,1 small medium laser II, and 3x heavy drone
when i use all of this on the lookout's,then they are invincible, they can shield tank the drones and the small laser II .while having the nos and web on them.
when i stopped webbing and nossing, the drones and the lasers did their work and killed them, quickly.
It looks almost if the nos and web were boosting the lookout's
very strange.

Him without doing any assumptions i would like to point out that thats a very strange setup against ceptors(the npc ones). Mostly the heavy drones that are disturbing me, with the kind of tracking they have its no wonder you get strange results.
So now comes my assumption :
When you webbed the 30k frigs your heavys catched up and began orbiting at close distance, outpaceing their own tracking. After you turned off your webber the heavys where unable to orbit anymore and followed in a straight line instead, cause the 30k frigs still where in their falloff they did more damage than being in optimal cause of the much lower transversial speed.
Hope that makes sense

On this mission, kill the lookouts on the sides first, since that wont aggro the blob. Hope that helps :)
Edit: 1st time i did this I got lucky, and warped in a good 50km from everything without a bm. After reading this post, i went back in a shuttle to be safe, and sure enough, i got popped. Thx for the help :D

Listing this mission as a DeadSpace mission is jacked.  My Mate lost a ship in the chaos as everyone said "WTF, Thought this was DS?" over Ventrilo. I toss in a petition to ask if this was supposed to be a DS mission w/o a DS gate. After getting through the first "canned" message I got a "I think this is the way it's suppose to be." I think it is??? Well thanks for thinking.... It should be listed as a KILL mission. From this point on, any new missions I get are getting the IBIS of DOOM first, just to see what the heck is up.

Was same suprise when it was a gate there some months ago. The first DS mission didn't have Acgate afaik.
Or if it was both, can get grid problems on thoose(happend then) thoug so if it is emptey when u warp there a tip is not to go afk. 
Well time to try a mission again i think =)

I just got this mission and decided to heed the advice given here and used a shuttle to warp in. There was no agro from any of the spawns and my warp in point wasn't close to any enemies. Either I got lucky or it's been changed.

did u got back and were you able to use a 100km bm? I tried to pick off the four or five rats by the right hand watch tower and all hell broke loose I got agro'd by everyone also having not warpgate to jump from took me by surprise but thats not what lost me my raven just the sheer number of people attcking me that and the fact that I was webed. So like I said I need a new raven and I will have a look at my logs to see what sort of dammage was being done. But tbh I had no chance of killing all the webbing frigs before I lost my BS

The random warp in spot is what makes it the hardest I think. I gangwarped 3 ships all from the same spot and 2 ended up in the middle of enemy group while one ended up 50km away. After 2-3 warp ins and outs it changed spot randomly between trys...
