Has anyone completed this mission?
4 corp mates an I have attempeted it and I am about to call it impossible. The problem is that the tanking BS in first can not stay long enough for the support ships to get in before the tanking BS has to leave. I am starting to think an armour tanking BS would be better but most of us are shield tankers. Any Ideas?
I have checked http://www.evemissions.com/ and no Minmatar LvL 5 missions have been listed.
Any help would be nice.

hi,
I'm wondering what's making it impossible. Is it sheer DPS or are the neut towers what are killing you? I two- and three-cliented my way through a number of Amarr Navy lvl 5s, and the only real trick was keeping your logistics ship from being aggroed and running and good passive shield tank (ie drake or NH).
Put a cloak on your basilisk/scimitar and make a ss just outside the deadspace for quick jump outs should the logistics grab aggro. Other than that, I don't think there should be much to worry about.
Say more about what's doing you in, though, and perhaps we can help.

The sheer DPS is the killer. As soon as I hit the deadspace pocket I have to start shield repping and that dont even help. I have my shield resitances up in the 80-90 area for Angel NPC type.
You cant take a cloaking ship in due to a gas cloud that will decloak you.
By the time I could get a lock on anything, the NPCs have melted my shields and by the time I get to warp they had me into hull. I like a challange, but this is ugly!
I guess I will have to try a NH with the passive tank and see if that might work.

don't throw a NH at it without a logistics ship in support. shame you can't cloak the basilisk/scimitar in case of aggro, but keep the logistics ship in a reasonably tight orbit around your damage dealer, and you should be fine. are there neut arrays in there? if not, then you can consider a guardian/baddon combo or something like that, but either way, you're going to need logistics, even if it comes from a gang of domi's in remote rep fit. up to you, but a dedicated logistics ship (and a little bit of transversal) should be all you need to tank this with your 80-90% resists. drop the shield booster on your drake if there are neut towers, btw. you'll want field purger rigs and, likely, another LSE II for a combination of buffer and recharge rate.
good luck.

it does not have lvl 5's listed.
there are several incomplete lvl 5 guides but they are few and far between, and most importantly......incomplete

This is the part that really stood out to me. Angels do all damage types, and you said you tanked in shield tanking BS. How in EVE did you get 80-90% all resists in a batttleship without an officer setup? Did you tank just EX/KN? I remember when ratting angels that the highest bounty BS were the ones that did EM/TM damage so when I did get hit with those, they hit really hard. I would be interested to see a list of what rats/sentries were in this mission when you first warpd in.
