No way I beat this Cruor solo in a frig ... with Worm MSE+double MASB 240 dps (hobs+rage inferno) I can barely scratch its armor, it's permatanking. When it switched to my drones I could escape. With a Hawk (my first try) I could permatank its damage until I ran out of boosters but I'm not able to create the required DPS to break the tank.
Maybe I could roll the dice with ECM ... but that's not what I would ever do on TQ with an expensive ship/fit.

I'm willing to wager that the vast majority of people who complete these will be people who use more than one character. The risk drops dramatically with another ship or links
With 2 ships these missions are a piece of cake, just run them together with a griffin an permajam the rat.

With another pilot we tried the Griffin approach ... and it didn't work as expected ... as soon as the burner was jammed it pulled range quickly until out of range ... and came back when the ECMs were turned off. I tried the suggested Worm fit and was finally able to tear it down with Augmented Warriors. The burner's armor repair seems to work similar like passive shield regeneration but repairing only (to) a certain amount (I found it roughly 75% armor at my 2nd try).
One thing my fellow fleet member noticed was, that he got a successful jam but still was scrambled and webbed - looks like a bug. I experienced this once also during my tests before, but as I got the jam lock so close before my death, I was not sure about.

The most useful hint for all new solo players, bring something with drones ... then you have a chance to save your ship if you mess up.

this is stupid, i am outta here
but afaik there is a small chance of faction drop .
I can confirm, I once had a faction module dropped.
The problems with those missions I see:
- a typical solo lvl4 mission runner is risk averse and will not have the skills to do them solo, so there is nothing to learn for them
- although they foster group play (like the Dagan mission), which is good and will work also for less skilled people, ... burying them in the lvl4 mission "profession" and standing requirements, will exclude the newbies.
- the shiny ship vs. reward is not much out of skew compared to the standard lvl4s ... but the likelihood of a loss is much higher, hence putting the risk/reward out of balance for solo play
I don't have a good proposal to fix this ... as I clearly see that the lvl4 thing is necessary to protect the mission from being farmed by multiboxers all the day.
