Use standard PvE tactics in the Blockade.

1. Speed tanking, stay at range -> Blowing up the webbing tower is the first and most important goal

2. Do not spawn additional groups prematurely -> know the triggers (use EVE-Survival)

3. Separate your enemies -> Every spawn is composed of 2 groups far below and one up and to the side. Use an afterburner to burn to the first goup below, blow them up, take the second group and only after finishing them, go for the bigger third one. Do not even target the trigger until everything else has been removed from the field. Eventually kill the trigger and at once head back to the spawn locations of the two smaller groups.

It's a little bit slower than other tactices but much safer in the beginning.

Edit: Ofc, doing this requires you to use long range weapons .

1. Speed tanking, stay at range

sry my post doesn't explain my problem properly. I try to keep my distance by targeting an enemy and clicking keep at range 20,000, but this doesn't give me much control on what direction I move to, that's what I was hoping for help with. There isn't anything in the area to move towards so I am left with trying to keep at range from an enemy. Frequently though, this just pushes me into the pack instead of away from it. And by the time all the farting about is done, I have no shields and half armour,
I am sure there is a better way to do this,, I'll just keep messing until something works

Just double click with your mouse in empty space into the direction you want to go.

It does, awesome link ty

Sounds like your tank isn't strong enough. Are you active or passive tanking? And what fit are you using?

Also, the blockade is in normal space, there's no acceleration gate, so instead of warping at 0, you can "warp at" a distance that suits you. You can also warp within the mission to any wreck, beacon, asteroid or object.

Just double click with your mouse in empty space into the direction you want to go.

I did look for a way to warp in at a distance but there want the option in the mission location tab, the next time I get a similar problem Ill look harder.
