Does anyone have any tips on this mission ?
I Can do all but the stage 4 mission were the merchs come into it..
soon as you warp in you have BS cruisrs/ frigs all around you ur in the middle of a small blob so warping in & flying away from them is not a option ..
We had a Domi + a support cruiser with med repping drones + his large Rep went in & got melted ..
I my self got out alive with the apoc , but Could of taken the Machariel ,

Go in with a shuttle and make a bookmark? Never done it, no advice to offer other than the standard ploy.
Also, may want to think about going in with a Smartypoc if the initial spawn is so close, provided you get the scramblers you will be laughing from then on in

I just helped a corp mate with this one. I soloed the stage with a Raven. It was touch and go for a bit while my Warrior II's took out the Merc Wingmen and I used my Cruise missiles on the Overlords and Commanders. I had to warp out at 10% shields just as the final Wingman popped, but it was fairly straightforward after that.
You really need to have your camera and ship lined up with a warp point before jumping, then your first task upon exiting warp is to start traveling towards your warp out point so you are aligned and at speed. I was lucky to take out the Wingmen in time, but you should be ok if you can fit a couple WCS (I didn't).
This stage seems pretty similar to the second stage of Silence the Informant.

I do this in my Zealot with an alt repping me with an Oneiros. It does hurt a bit until the Oneiros arrives.

This is the safest way. If you can tank the first four battleships long enough to kill them without drones, you should be able to pick rest of the mobs one by one.

The tip i can give you regarding this missions is the following and ive used this many times to that effect.
1) When you warped to gate 4, instantly warp out while bookmarking the beacon (putting the beacon on your overviewer would be benefitial), u will have sufficient time, and they might just managed to gain a lock on you.
2) Warp back in at 100km/80km/60km etc and pick 1 group at a time. If you get multiple, you can always run and warp back at different km..
3) Rinse and repeat until you KO all mobs
Enjoy! :-)

I tried this solo. Warped in with my T2 fit Typhoon. Killed a few ships warped out screaming in horror with hull damage. Corp mate showed up with faction fit Navy Raven.
He warped in. got full agro. called me in. I mostly just watched while he tanked everyting.
I guess 2 billion in faction tank makes a huge difference.
So my suggestion. call in a friend to help?

A friend asked for my help to do this mission a few days ago. I was going first, warped into the 4th area, if I remember right nothing aggroed(or at least it was manageable). Then my friend warped in, and the rest of the stage destroyed him in no time flat, then they turned on me. =(
We both bought new ships and tried again, but I made sure that I was the only one to warp into the 4th stage until I knew we could both handle all the aggro. Try this.

I just finished this mission last night. I know you're asking about it regards to a domi, but I did it in my shield tanked Raven and didn't eject my drones till the end. I think that's the key... the drones pull full aggro. It was rather simple, even though I had to warp out and refit my shield tank (went from 2x therm 2x kin to 2x invul 1x em and 1x kin). But as I said earlier, I didn't have any major issues really, and changing your damage type is important too. Make sure not to do kin damage on lvl 4, but do therm. But switch back to kin for the final level because the last guy has resists of 80% against therm.

I just "soloed" this last night in a Domi. (I am the person who started the other post =P) Here's how I did it:
First 3 rooms are trivial. Just don't aggro more than one group.
The 4th room (merc room) has a bug. If you release drones OR have more than one ship in there you get instant full aggro. Now, it's possible to tank that if you had T2 stuff, maybe. I don't. Here's how I did this room:
First, I know I can't tank the damage, so I soloed it.
My initial setup was 4 heavy neutrons and 2 neutron blaster cannons (AM), with a large cap booster, a large accomdation repper and a med repper, and the rest of meds filled with cap rechargers and the rest of lows resists.
The second you warp in, 4 battleships will lock onto you and shoot you. Before they can do it, align yourself with something (from the other direction of the other spawns) and run away at 1/4 speed. If you go too fast you'll outpace the rats. Lock onto the 4 BS rats and shoot them until they die. Since AM uses loads of cap, I used a stack of 800s to fuel my tank.
Then draw the next spawn. I chose the BS/cruiser combo because I wanted to kill all the BS while I have blasters. Once the BS were dead I was 65km from the third spawn, so I just aggroed them (to make sure they don't target my drones) and unleashed my heavies on the cruisers from the second spawn, killed most of them before I had to warp out.
Then I came back as a railboat, and just tanked/droned the rest.
For the final room, I found that my DPS wasn't enough to kill the boss (he orbits at 50km and I didn't have the long range large rails). It was hilarious how we both can't break the other's permatank, so I just called out for help in local.
I have less than 3m SP and only T1 gear, which makes me a noob. =) So you'd probably have more luck soloing this than I do.

I did it without problems with raven. However, is a bit tricky.
Recommended setup for stage 4 is 6xcruise launchers with th damage, 2xnos on highs, 1xinvul, 1xth, 1xkin, 1xcap rec, 1xboost amp, 1x booster on meds and 2xPCU 3xBCU on lows.
As soon as you warp in, 4xoverlords approach you and start firing. Target and kill them, just them. Do not use drones for this group. If u are able to tank this group, 50% of the work is done.
After this group, there are 2 other groups, one below you and other in front of you. U will have no aggro, so take your time.
The group below has 2xoverlords and several commanders. Start with them, first the commanders, then the overlords. Do not use drones!
After them, start with last group: several commanders and 5 wingmen that will scramble you. Fire launchers at commanders and start taking wingmen with drones.
Loot is fine in this stage, as overlords drop allways big guns and u can get a couple of arbies from commanders.
Unfortunately, I have no experience doing this mission with other ship than raven.
Cheers.
Ruuph.
