It's really tedious with wayy wayy too little bounty for how much of a pain in the ass it is.
Think of it more like doing 5 level ones at once. Almost enough to actually be hard, but at the end of the day, all you did was grind level ones, so no rewards either. There are a grand total of maybe 4 BS rats, with maybe 50 total frigs. Frigs barely give bounty at all.

More like 3-4 level 2s at once, with half of the frigs upgraded to the elite versions - it forces me to sustain a heavy tank far longer than just about any other level 4 mission I've done, and is a real pain in the ass to be quite honest. In a cruise/arty phoon that I took 100km or more from the spawn point at times (turns out the spawns don't aggro unless you're under 100km from them), even shooting a number of the frigs at long range I never got to deploy my heavy drones the entire mission - my Valk IIs were killing frigs the entire time, though they finally got to assist with the last battleship. It may be possible in a cane paying very good attention to what the triggers are and warping out to let your tank recover before triggering the bigger waves, but I'd put it pretty high on my list of missions to consider using one of my "free" mission declines on, and that's as a BS with far more ability to take our some of the ships before they get in their optimal than a cane does.
tl;dr version: very hard mission, rewards are crap, don't bother |

Good advice. In my standard mission Mega, the mission was no problem at all to complete. I just kept everything at 50-80 Km range, snd sniped everything to death.
Having said that, it's on my decline mission list. It takes too much time to kill all those small ships, the loot and salvage is not worth the time needed to collect it, the bounties are small and the reward not all that great.

It's a hard mission. Just make sure you kill one spawn trigger ship and finish off whatever it spawns first before you kill the next trigger ship.
From memory the first spawn are all triggerships. |

I use my Nighthawk and just fof all the way. Circle the building and keep going. Nothing ever gets to close and it never gets to hot. Easy almost afk mission, and it goes fast. If you cant beat it you are doing it all wrong.

You can't reasonably compare the T2 Nighthawk missile boat to a mostly turret T1 when discussing this mission. |

oh, and don't bother trying in a passive myrmidon or drake either. my main is maxed in caldari/missiles/passive and his tank still got beaten.
apart from faction smarties on a rokh, i wouldn't bother mate. mission is a pain in the a$$ and certainly not worth the salvage/loot let alone bounties.
i know this isn't what you want to hear, but it's really not worth it. soz. |

Did it in a passive shield myrm yesterday ( 6 SPR2/ 3 LSE/ 2 hard/ 3 purger ) had to warp out at one point & fit active hardeners after I hit 4 triggers in a row, which I've never done in that ship even on l4 blockade or Mordus or w/e. Pretty tedious although amusing when you're tanking what seems like 900 frigates, but I'd not do that again. Also not good bounty at all, although salvage wasn't too bad.
Orbited the building at 30km after a bit, helped a little.

You're doing it wrong.
I just burn out to 70km range, killing whatever's closest to me at the time - triggers and spawns be damned. This is in T2 hardened shield tank Drake. I use T2 hardeners instead of resistance amps. I use T2 launchers, but plain Scourge missiles.
Keep the drones close to you so you can recall them when new spawns arrive, let the drones out again when the new arrivals have you locked.
I agree that this mission is a waste of time though. Now that I've got a Raven though, I'm tempted to try smartbombing my way through this one. See how quickly I can get CONCORDed in my shiny new BB.
