I'm trying to finish the angel version of Pirate slaughter, and I just cannot complete this mission. There is no way for me to complete it. I am flying a Hyperion with 350's, dual LAR II, 2x exp II, 1x Thermal II, 1x Kin II.
The NPCs put out enough dps that i cannot do much more then warp in, shoot a ship into armor, then warp back out. My drones take ages to kill the cruiser spawns (t2 hammerheads, DI 4, scout 5, combat drone 4, etc).
My tank held up fine up until the enemies just started spawning, coming out of the woodwork so to speak.
Is this mission bugged, or did I just not have enough dps to kill ships off before more spawned? My tank can't possibly get any better. Not without switching to a Mega or Domi.

You're right.You need a Domi.I ran this last night and after I switched to a heavy cap booster and med rails it was easy.

In the last patch this mission was changed. The final room now has trigger spawns rather than one big group of rats. Just make sure you take out the trigger rat last and you should be fine. In the Gurista version, the trigger is always the biggest BS rat. I have no experience with the Angel version, but I'd assume they're similar.

Right. A domi. Is it possible with a Mega, 350 rails, and heavy drones? I have a mega, but not a domi.

 Change those drones for a start: You are using Thermal damage, plus the slowest drones in the game, against Angels.....
Btw, what Rail Ammo are you using????
Oh yea, a Mega should do it easily...

Did it last night in a phoon, perma running t2 LAR and 5 hards (3ex, 2kin). Angels do primarly explosive damage, followed by kinetic, em and thermal.
Fit for explosive damage against angels btw, if you don't have t2 explosive drones, use t1, it'll be better than the wrong type.
I found the spawns didn't seem to trigger from BS alone, popping some of the cruisers caused additional respawns. Mind you, my armour would always regen back to 100% for the entire mission, even when tanking 4 BS and several cruisers at once.

as posted before, don't use hammerhead 2 vs angels. i always use vesper II for angels, and they take down angel hacs way faster than i could ever do with my laser guns + hammerhead II support ;)

The Hyp is superior to Mega and Domi. You just need to sort your hardening (Expl) and drone types...

okey, I just got this mission and I CANNOT tank the rats in the first room. this is the gurista version. I must have done something wrong. When I enter the first room I get insta aggroes by 8BS + support. At first there was only a few bs.. but now there's complete mayhem in there. I'm in a dominix with 2x kinetic and 2x thermal hardeners. 2 LAR II with cap booster.. even tried with an alt in a vexor remote repping... didnt work either. so Now i'm on my way to get him into a dominix and see if I can remote rep enough to keep him alive. Although he cannot use large remote reppers I'll just have to hope that a couple of mediums will do.. insanely hard.

ok, 2 dominixes did it.. but how the hell can ppl tank this? I mean 8Bs + support on first stage aswell as on the second. guess it'll be the same after this gate. (doing the mission as I type this)
edit: ahh yeah. rigs might do the trick. and the fact I'm using drones makes it a little more difficult as the rats wanna aggro those first when they spawn

against Guristas :
1 stage - don't agress the Pith Communication(or similiar was the name). If you use drones be very carefully to not attack this BS, cause it triggers the next spawn.
2 stage - kill hacs and the different name BS last(usually the nearest one to you). After killing the BS then comes the next spawn.
3 stage - some jamming :)

I use a Hyperion fitted with:
Hi-slots = 450 rails and a siege launcher.
Mid-slots = Cap rechargers (named or t2).
Lo-slots = Large armour repairer (named or t2), energised adaptive (t1 or t2), energised reactive (t1 or t2), armour hardners (kin/therm/expl).
Should never run out of cap and the armour tank is pretty decent. Just remember to move, don't sit still. Your armour should sit at about 90+% if your skills are any good.

A corp mate ran into trouble with this one as well.
After I pitched in and she lost her Apocalypse and I almost lost my Hurricane, we called in one of our Jaguar pilots to help out. This was followed by 2 other Corpmates and thier BC's. The Jag (Speed / Shield Tank) got their attention and once the Angels had started to chase her, she set a wide orbit on the next person to enter the Deadspace. This kept the targets in range.
It still took us a while, but we did not loose anymore ships.
The spawns were still a problem. However it's more managable with just 2 Battleships trying to kill you, instead of 8 + cruisers, frigates and destroyers.
In short , if you can't tank it call for re-inforcements. The bounties and Salvage makes it worth thier while to help out.

I do this solo in a raven. I fight Guristas and so I use T2 Vespa's (5 of them), and X2 active T2 Kinetic tank, X2 active T2 Thermal tank, and a T2 shield booster+T1 amplifier, six cruise missiles, X2 T2 PDUs, X2 T2 BCUs, X1 T2 damage control.
That tank holds it eaaassssy unless I do the spawns wrong (pull too many at once).
On the version where it is just one bigass room it gets a little harder, and I usually have to warp out once in the beginning (The trick is NOT to aggro the first group you see, but instead wait for them all to spawn and only two should aggro you at the beginning, and then just one at a time)

The trick with this is to manage the spawn rate by carefully toasting the right ships. Kiting the spawns are handy too. If you shoot the wrong target and get a new spawn you'll be far enough away you should be able to slim down the agro before they arrive.

I've only run the Guristas version , but a well-tanked Raven can solo all rooms . I've ran this new version 3 times now and shields never dropped below 60% . I definately would rather use missiles over rails for missions . I do have an alt that is all rails , and it is not good for missions compared to missiles . PvP is another story :) G/L

try fitting 3 kin and 1 therm hardener. when my drones accidentally triggered the first respawn right away i didn't have any problems to tank it with my abaddon

logistics cruiser for the win. Did it last night no probelm with my buddy in his cerberus, me in muninn and another buddy in basilisk. Admittedly the basilisk pilot is uber in his support role, and it did get kinda dicey when he drew aggro, but as soon as he did, we forgot whatever else we were working on and killed the stuff that was shooting him. He was far enough back that we had time to do this.

Hmm, did not seem that hard. Raven or Nighthawk do well with this mission. Being able to use explosive damage against the Angels certainly makes a difference.
For Gallente ship users, maybe a Megathron with a couple of cruise launchers for those cruiser spawns coupled with Valkyrie or Warrior drones. Or a Dominix (always one of my favorite ships) with Minmatar drones.
