I got the mission yesterday. I could not find it on eve survial and i thought "ah, it's just another lvl3 to grind!".
i jumped in, and needed to warp out 2 times. the 3rd the 2nd group came into aggro ranged. Man, i never saw the armour deminish so fast on a prophecy BC!
cancelled the mission, got my remaining salvage and looted what i did kill..
Set me beck quite some Mill.. blah...
But my standing just dropped 0.1 point...

ok there indeed some lvl 3s misions that are extreamly tough just as hard as most lvl 4s
ting is you must aprouge them as lvl 4 as you say your flyigna brutix i presume you a armore tanker
if your having troubel tanking them and you need to warp out ( that isetna shame at all in a lvl 3)
first of all as somone said before fit hardeners of the right resistance that will make the damage a lot lower on you.
2e is fit a dual tank that means 2 armore reppers that second armroe repper will alow you to substain a lot of burst dmg giving you more time to kill.
also becours i dont know 100% of this mision you guys are talking about it may be wise NOT to shoot at structure but first kill the fleet.
the more you kill the less dmg you will recieve then you when every ting has died around you take your time to blow up that ugly spacestructure
o one mroe ting to ad example lvl4 damsel in disstres you will also need to blow up a structure ting is it will spawn reforce ments when hit gets lower in hitpoints and you can easly get swarmed by the npc when your still fighing the initial waves.
this may also be wats hapening either you have a masive buffer and burst dps or first have to clear the room

Problem is that more and more ships start closing in, and you can't tank over two dozen blaster battlecruisers, cruisers and destroyers orbiting you at 5 km, plus turrets.
Ok, one problem I see then is you need some distance. Fit an AB to stay out of range of the big stuff. Kill first anything that webs.

Ive gotten that mission 5 times recently and even 3 times in a row some weeks ago. The only way to do it is to fly away and pop the incoming faster ships asap. The blasterboats hurt a lot when they come in so be sure to pick em off when they get in range, do not attempt to engage them at close proximity, that will be signing your own death warrant.
I fly a harbinger fitted with 4 N-type resistance modules, MAR, 2 targeting enhancers and 8 turrets (i believe). After warping out i turn away from hem and start slowboating away from them with 220 m/s. I take them out as blasterboats first and the rest later. I have 5 drones who i stick on the frigates while my medium turrets shoot the bigger targts.
It takes about 200km before i take the last of them bastards down, then i warp in and out again to get into range of the objective and shoot it for about 10 minutes, change ship to a salvaging boat (armor plates good!), salvage the bunch and then turn it in.
And here my loadout for if it helps.

Just completed this mission in a permatanked Zealot.
Was a complete breeze - the frigates died in one or two hits, and the cruisers were too slow to keep up with me. I think what really helped was the difference in speed and sig radius compared to a typical PVE battlecruiser.
The hardest part of this mission was waiting for the ore station to blow up.

I wonder if this mission could be accomplished by a kite-fitted Caracal?
Orbit the mission target at maximum range (50-60km on a Caracal, depending on skills), pelting it with Scourge missiles, while your dual-Overdrive plus Afterburner fitting keep you out of range of the blaster cruisers. This will leave you to face the frigates with your two light drones and heavy missiles + target painter and webifier.
Could probably achieve the same thing in a speed-fitted Drake (with the advantage of three more drones).
No tank on this fitout, and I have completed level 3 blockade in it. Takes a while though.
Then again, I haven't been given this mission yet. Must be time to go try out some more level 3 missions!

You might be able to do it. It drops you in around 30 km from the mass, so you have a few seconds to turn and run before you start getting hit. If you stay out of the range of the sentry guns you probably can manage.
The first time I did this mission it broke the tank on my Drake. I warped out after destroying the comm relay, then went back with full shields. Personally, I usually just destroy the relay, warp out, go back, destroy the mining outpost, warp out, and complete it without bothering to kill any of the ships. However, that's in a Drake. I haven't gotten the mission since I dropped the three Field Purger rigs on it, so I don't know how it will do now.

It doesn't look that bad to me. With 30km range headstart, just flying straight away and killing the BCs with your own properly setup BC should do the job just fine. Just don't waste any slots on superfluous stuff that isn't really useful (like the setup above that had best named hardeners that weren't rat specific).

Man i LOVE that mission. If you ask me i'd like all lvl 3 missions to be like that. It really pushes your tank to its limits and offers alot of fun! Haven't warped out once so far. The only thing you really need is good permatank and you'll be good.
