Here are some tips on the new lvl IV amarr mission,(unfortunately, i did it yesterday and do not remember its name) asking you to destroy Control Tower and Shipyards. I Obtained this mission in Dodixie. Note that doing it will break your standings against Amarr.
I am gallente i dont care about those amarr, i pwn them!
There is although a very bad bounty, like all other new missions.
No aggro on warp-in, structures can be focussed to complete the mission then warp out but it's not recommanded.
Initial wave : 8x BS, 4x frig, 2x cruiser.
Second wave :(spanws 5 min after without you do anything), Approx 10 BS 10 cruiser, 4 frig
There are no bountys because this is a faction mission. It took me 40 min to complete the mission and 20 min to salvage it (lot of wrecks). I also runned it in dual account Kronos/Cnr.
The kronos had no trouble tanking the whole room, but i also gave him a very strong tank for the first time i runned this mission, i had say the incoming dps can put a raven's pilote in trouble.
Loots were : nothing, around 2x 1600 M plates and some crap = 3 M
around 17-20 M from Amarr navy general insignia I, II, and some others
39 armor plates, 41 burned, 45 fried, 25 melted cap, 35 tripped.
Althought it gave me exactly +40M in my wallet in 1 hour, so i hope, based on my experience, it will help you choose doing or not doing this new mission.

Looking forward to it. It's hard to hurt my Amarr/Caldari standings any more.

I ran this mission yesterday. I believe its' called Smash the Smugglers. It is extremely challenging and frankly not worth the time. The Loyalty points were ridiculously low. Plus since it was Amarr faction ships, there was no bounty per ship. In order to see any ISK in this you have to salvage/collect tags on this mission.
I was in a tanked out Dominix and still was unable to complete this without the help of my corp mates. If you can some how tank the upwards of 20+ BS and cruisers, long enough to destroy the 3 shipyards and control tower, you can complete the mission. I will be passing on this mission in the future, until they either add bounties or adjust the loyalty points.

Ran this in a Raven, but did not keep detailed notes on the ship types (easily 60+). Was not a difficult mission, just took time. You warp in away from the main group, just set a course 180 away and lob Paradise cruise back at them. When first group is down, head back to aggro the second group. Appears to have a timed spawn, no obvious triggers (to me anyway).
This is a Faction mission against the Amarr, so no bounties only tags. Loot was weak but salvaged armor plates and melted caps. As expected, LP and isk rewards are low, but they should reset over time as others run the mission.
The only odd thing was I destroyed the control tower first. This destroyed the 3 shipyards and completed the mission.

hey hey
this was reported on SISI testing when CCP asked for PVE feedback. it was soon forgotten as they released the speed patch. As to the difficulty id agree that its slightly overpowered. Still with a little patience you can slowly destroy the BS's. it seemed rather pointless to give a simple objective of tower destroying but spawn a wtf load of BS's :/
as someone posted above. the trick is to outrange the ships and gank them from there.

Me and my buddies flew this mission today and it was awesome!
Really, I can't remember when a mission was so thrilling, because "Smash The Suppliers" was a real challenge.
Payoff, taking everything in account, was really nice, too.
I would not recommend this mission to be flown alone, though. None of us would have stood a chance, had there been no support. But that is fine with me. Actually, I like missions that can't be done alone. It encourages teaming up with someone else and promotes player interaction. Those who have no friends at all, or feel like no one can be trusted can still refuse to take the mission, or do it like the OP with some weird but admittedly pretty creative dual account solution.
Thumbs up, CCP!

Yep, "smash the suppliers". It's a ton of DPS if you let them all get into optimal. It starts of as a single spawn but doubles in size after a few minutes. Watch your drones on this one.
I got over 60 Amarr tags out of it. The loot was fairly unrewarding though. The agent reward is slowly coming up, but isn't quite where it should be yet.

Did this in my navy mega on my own but had to warp out a load of times. Attacking the friges gets you agro from frigs. Cursers the same and bs the same. No agro on warp in. Killing the tower completes the mission. DonÆt worry about the others.
Way under paid for that mission.

Did they change how the agro works in this mission? I've read everywhere that you can pick the individual classes of ships to only pull that group. I got this last night, picked off the frigates no problem but when I decided to move up to hit the cruisers I pulled the full room (which led to much swearing).

Every time I have done this mission, I have drawn full room aggro. Which I don't mind one bit because my Domi tanks it all comfortably while my sentry drones and CNR wingman kill everything.

yeah, just one of those reality check missions for me... one of those things that tells me to go back to lvl3 missions for a while before I get reduced to a pile of space rubble.

Simple solution for a raven- argo the BS's, start flying away from them. Unleash grones on frigs/cruisers.
Biggest pain in the ass was getting all the tags/salv
