I dont care if they have been toned down or not they are still hard as hell. I dont care who you are an Arch Angel Saraph (1 million bounty) and 2 Arch Angel Warlords (750k bounty each) will hurt, especially with their 10 cruiser wingmen....

This falls into the "be careful what you ask for" category... - lol Afterall, peeps wanted BS drivin' npc's and then they got BS NPC's on steroids - lol. Now peeps are crying cuz these npc's are too uber - lol !
Personally I think it is funny as crap that npc's seem to spawn faster whenever mining drones are out and then they like to gang-up on my heavy combat drones - lol. I mean, what do npc's have against mining drones anyway ? - lol 
SWEET routinely sells BPC's in Sing Laison and Essence Regions. |

Our corp m8s have had to go solo hunting NPC cruisers and BSs cause its easy. Then again we have only done Serpentis ( yawn ) and some Sanshas ( decent ). With the right equipment you should be able to take out those ships from 85km and thats not hard with a Megathron WITH 1400mm  Damage is better with Tempest but your ships targeting range is a bit worse ( stock ) so you need more mods. Also, when fighting missile spamming boats its advised to use cap relays and 1 Medium Named Smart bombs or 2 Small Named Smart bombs on alternating pattern.
Even if Angels are better than Sansha... the right config and skill should keep you seated in your BS.

Going solo vs Angel BS spawns in just pure crazyness sorry to say, its not necessarily the BS's that kill you, its when the cruisers MWD inside your guns and jam you.

Angels better than Sansha?
Not for anyone who hunted both of them. The Sansha is perhaps the most ferocious of all the NPCs. Not only they missile spam like nuts (but then all of pirate factions do), but everything degenerates into a million flashes of multicolored lasers---all aimed at you. It's a laser hell. I've had people who were experienced in hunting Angels, suddenly got smacked when they hunted Sansha for the first time.
But when they do die, boy oh boy, the Sansha drop the best loot of all---named cargo expanders, armor mods, crystals, named lasers of all types, smartbombs galore, among others. (The best electronics stuff are dropped by Gurista, but Sansha for the best recycle).

agreed, a 5:1 defender v miner ship ratio for minng high end ores is ridiculous enough, without getting ganked by instaspawn pirates.
The pirates should warp in at some 40-80K distance and have mwd penalties and cap use like the rest of us. That way it is hard but fair.
btw, they have been toned down in the sense that the distribution of the heaviest pirates seems to have been changed. In the non-ark bels we now normally see only up to 75K cruisers in most spawns. But they still spawn in large groups and use MWD and webbers on you.
