i am doing it in fully gist machariel fit . use the ab to get range and shield boost your self . with 1400 t2 you will pop them like nothing and remember sp[eed is your friend . turrests wont shoot more then 150 and the boss's more then 50 so keep range.

Did this with apocalypse maybe a day ago. First, i was expecting it to be quite difficult but it really wasnt.
Warped in, one group aggroed. Rest of the groups only attacked if i did it first. Remember to target & destroy all the drones with "Strain" as their name first because they can warp scramble.
The 2nd area had 4 drone controllers and loads of smaller ones, didnt get any aggro here after warp. Easy? Hard? definately not that hard as i first thought maybe somewhere between.
edit: also, dont use the overview to select targets or at least make sure your not targeting something else from the other groups as i did :]. Although it was still doable.

its easy and well worth it for the insane ammount of minerals you end up with at the end.
on the second stage the drones get stuck on there own structure if you fly downwards and then around to the back of it.

Honestly I was expecting a death trap, but most of the drones apparently dont use their deadspace MWD and are extremely slow and awkward.
I vaped them all without suffering 10% damage on my shielding.

what i like doing on this one, in the second level, is get out of range with that big structure between my ship and the drones, once i start shooting them, they get stuck on the big structure, they "try" to go around it but they cant, it's pretty funny.

Im doing this in a tech 1 fitted Raven, with only a couple of named mods. Its really not hard after you get the hang of it.
my fitting is
high
6 x cruise launcher I's with EM missiles
2 x large EMP smart bombs
med
XL booster cl-5
shield boost amp I
Cap booster with 800 charges
3 active hardeners (1 EM, 1 Thermal, 1 Multi)
low
2x PDU I
1 x Warp core stab
2 x cpu upgrade
Its gimped for anything else, but using smarts when targeting manouvering you wont have trouble with them. first warp in one group agg's. take them out (bombers last since as far as i can tell they stay at 35 km and their weapons reach 29.)
second stage is a bit tougher. There are 3 groups of drones, but if you target either in the first two, two groups will agg. personally i didnt have much trouble with it. turned around the structure and glided away slowly (142m/sec max). use your own drones wisely and use the smartbombs to take out anything that gets closer then 5k (all strain except devastator strain gets within 5k).
if you take care, you should be able to do it in two goes (I can with my bad skills/limited eq), just use your head.

There are groups of drones.
2 Groups are linked or close enough to each other to aggro together in 100% of the times I came for them.
1 BS drone in the first, 3 in the second stage (4 if you have a lucky day)
All other drones are frigate sized.
Nearly all drones are slower than 250m/s.
Hardly any drone will hit you from 35km.
At 20km and less they put the hurt onto you.
BS drones have a horrible tracking.
I did it in a Cyclone just to test it. Worked surprizingly good.

This mission used to be tough and then they confiscated the drones guns.
Now its a joke.

I thought they just gave the drones the only half hardened BS models instead of the 75% resist ones. Yes, the rogue drone missions have been more interesting while they had the occasional sniper drone in there.

1st time I tried this I used my PvP Dominix for a tester run.
1st gate was a piece of you know what.
2nd gate and my Drones aggro'd EVERY single drone.
Came to within 10 armor on my Domi and thats BAD.
I eventually spotted the scrambler (when you got 30+ drones all aggro'd its hard to spot them) , took them out and I was able to warp away.
Next time I came with a mission equipped Raven.
1st gate again too easy.
2nd gate just head away from the drones and wait till 60km ish away.
2 groups aggro'd at once.
Lock a drone and they come towards you . I flew away still at 143m/s released warrior IIs and took everything frigate size down then swapped for Vespa IIs for Drone controllers.
Luckily or not I didnt even use my shield booster once.
Warp out and back in again to get back the the last group and rinse / repeat.

I take this on in a tempest that is shield tanked. Very good farming mission given that it will net you roughly 24 million in mins at buy order prices. Once you get the hang of it you can kill everything and collect in 1.5 hours.
All I did was jump in and start heading away from the groups. Once I get 50k away open fire, they will never catch you before you kill them all.
