I have always declined this mission at level 4. Players tell me it is very difficult.
I have an alt who is quite good in battleships. Full tec2 tank & all that-but is it enough to complete this. Choice of ships can be Megathron, Hyperion, Dominix (good drone skills) or Kronos.
What do I need to watch for in this mission. is it as difficult as what players make out. What about tank & fit it is being offered by an Atlas mining corp agent.

Ckick more info under the agents mission offer, see who your fighting )sansha/angel)and go to above sight. Look up WC (right factions) and it will list it all for you.
As long as you don't trigger whole pockets a good fit makes this very doable.
Sample of first pocket (warp in area): Angel/Sansha
Faction: Sansha and Angels
Mission type: Deadspace, with guards at the first gates.
Damage dealt: All kinds (mainly exp, kin for angels and em, therm for sansha)
Reccomended damage dealing: EM, therm for the sansha, Exp, kin for the angels.
Ulric Wolfbane completed it in a standard raven with a t2 setup.
Completed in: CNR (3x invuls) DR: Easy (Chepe Nolon)
Completed in: Active tank Drake (Only against the angels) DR: Hard (Captain Schmungles)
Warning!: Heavy Drone aggro!
Entry:
The gates are locked until you kill the last ship. But you can unlock them by carrying Zbikoki's Hacker Card (obtained from Zor) in your cargohold. It will be consumed on activation.
Group 1:
4x Arch Gistii Hunters
3x Gistatis Primus
2x Gistatis Tribuni
Arch Gistum Crusher
Gist General
Gist War General
Group 2:
Centatis Specter
5x Centatis Wraith

Angles Gate
Frigs may scramble.
Insta Aggro -
2x Angel Spy - Do not shoot, will aggro entire room, but you can NOS them
3x Angel Sentry Guns (appears you can shoot these)
Group 1 - (This hit me REAL hard)
2x Gistatis Praefectus
4x Gist Seraphim
2x Gistatis Tribuni
Group 2 -
Arch Gistum Centuraion
4x Arch Gistum Phalanx
3x Gistior Seizer
2x Gistior Thrasher
Group 3 -
3x Gist Nephilim
Gist Overseer
4x Arch Gistii Thug
Arch Gistii Outlaw
What some do is take the sansha side and just fit for that damage type, Complete them then go refit for angesl so your always fitted out against the right damage types rather than an omni(lower resists but covers all).

IMO its easy as pie, I will ofc be talking about the serp/gurista version though I doubt much will change from rat to rat, its just an utter pain in the arse to do though. The first room is hell and then its plain sailing.
Things to watch out for in the first room...
- annoying sniper BS (50km ish, pain for me using torps since I can't use javelins yet)
- rats drop agro on you and just slay your drones sometimes
- rats are all about 120km away from warp in
You'd think a sniper fitting would work well but you will need a fair tank since your dumped on rats in the second room and even moer so in the third.
The mission is well worth it but make sure you have a few hours if its your first time doing it lol

i dont have problems with this. i normally take the serpentis gate option and with dual reps i cant tank it no problems in the domi. the final pocket has a lot of hard hitters all at range but its all tankable solo. the second pocket can also host a 4mill+ named rat with serpentis drops.

i find the serpentis/guristas version fairly easy...as long as you take one group at a time, it's not a problem for my drake...(i can't even fly a battleship)

Likewise, Both my drake and raven are able to do it. I think this mission is a lot easier if you don't use drones. Rats in WC behave very strange as far as drones are concerned.

In a domi with dual LAR II's and 4 rat-specific hardeners, you will have no problems at all, as long as you are careful about agro.

WC level 4 is easy if you approach it carefully.
This is for Sansha/Angels:
Step 1
Load up sniper setup for Domi:
Sensor booster with range script
4x omnidirectional tracking links
4x drone link aug
Sentry drones - Wardens and Bouncers
Do not fire at the rats, let the drones do the work. Engage them at 100km - pull in sentry that is aggroed, replace it immed.
Warp out, warp back in, approach and engage second group.
Warp out, come back and salvage both sides.
Step 2
Change setup on Domi to ubertank for angels. Warp in, hit the angel gate, tank the sentry guns and kill them, ignoring the two spies - attacking them will aggro the entire room. Using bouncers, engage each group one at a time. They will not aggro you if you do not fire your guns. Do not hit the next gate.
Warp out, change hardeners for Sansha. Hit Sansha gate, tank and kill group that aggroes, again ignoring the spies. Sentry snipe remaining groups one at a time. Do not hit the next gate.
Warp out, come back in salvage ship, salvage both rooms. Note: You may see a respawn, and it may be a faction overseer. I did get one faction overseer out of 14 tries, all others were normal respawns.
You have now made about 38-40 million in bounties and loot/salvage.
You can now, in your ubertanked Domi, finish the mission or go home and repeat the above steps every day for a week. If not:
Hit the final gate, tank the group that aggroes you and kill it. You can at this point either rescue the crew or kill the remaining ships. Note: The damage in this room is very high. If you opt to rescue, the remaining ships will not aggro you.
