Recommended ship types: Battlecruiser, HAC, Battleship
- The 5th and 6th waves of ships may not spawn (all missions are slightly randomised).
Recommended ships: Passive tanked Battlecruiser or HAC
All will spawn almost immediately after you warp in. The Raiders/Sunders orbit at 2-4km. There are only few drone cruisers, so it is not a heavy pocket. Destroy the 2 bunkers to stop more respawning.
Recommended ship types: Battlecruiser, HAC
1x Drone Battleship (Supreme Alvus Parasite "Delainen-ROM Symbiote"), which drops mission loot.
Recommended ship types: passive tanked Battlecruiser or HAC
(group about 55-60km, neut range is extreme, stasis towers lock range is only about 28km)
3x Drone Energy Neutralizer Sentry I **Energy Neutralizer**
(After about 30 seconds)
(When the BS reaches about 50% structure)
- Stay out of the range of the stasis towers.
- It is best to go for passive tanking and take the towers one by one (starting with the energy neutralizers). Destroy each spawn before continuing to the next tower.
- If you are active tanked, then: primary the energy neutralizers, kill each spawn as it arrives and before proceeding to the next tower. Primary Strain drones (scramblers), and then the Violator Drones as they do the most damage.
Recommended ship types: Battlecruiser, HAC

Deletions:
- I do not always get the 5th and 6th waves of ships. So far, I dunno why. Also, once when fighting the 6th wave of ships, they just up and left in mid-battle.

Recommended: Drake
1x Supreme Alvus Parasite ("Delainen-ROM Symbiote"), which drops mission loot.
Recommended ships: Drake, any other passive ship
3x Drone Energy Neutralizer Sentry I (> 240km range, including falloff) **Energy Neutralizer**
(After just a few seconds)
(When the BS loses shields)
- It is best to go for passive tanking and leave the towers alone, as they spawn a cloud of angry drones.
- If you are active tanked, then: primary the energy neutralizers, kill the strain drones after the neutralizers (scramblers), and then the Violator Drones as they do the most damage.
- Take one tower down at a time, as each one triggers a spawn of its own. (Actually, the towers don't really spawn them... but anyway, watch out.)

The BS Drone (has different names) drops the can you need with the "Hive Mind CPU".
===Warp In===
3x Drone Energy Neutralizer Sentry I (> 240km range, including falloff) **Energy Neutralizer**
2x Drone Stasis Battery **Stasis Webifier**
2x Tower Sentry Drone I
(After just a few seconds)
4x Drone Destroyer (Shredder Alvior)

4x Drone Cruiser (Annihilator Alvum)
1x Drone Elite Frigate (Strain Splinter Alvi) **Warp Scrambler**
===Wave 7===
(When the BS loses shields)
2x Drone Cruiser (Disintegrator Alvum)
After few minutes, the Battleship Drone will spawn (Alvus Ruler, Supreme Alvus Parasite, possibly others). It has high damage, even at 50km, so be careful. As you shoot the BS, another group of drones (Wave 7) will spawn.
**Blitz:** Go in passive tanked, ignore all sentries and neut towers. While waiting for the BS, kill off the first spawn. Wait for the BS to come out of the range of the stasis towers (you won't have cap to tractor the loot can), then go for it, pick up the can, finito.
**Alternative Blitz:** Go in passive tanked, but kill the Stasis Towers early. There's plenty of time to take care of the triggered Strain spawn before the BS drone with the mission loot spawns, and this way you can attack it earlier (while still closer to the structures).
The BS Drone (has different names) drops the can you need with the "Hive Mind CPU".

After 20-30 seconds, drones start to spawn in small groups. Approximately 25 drones (frigates, cruisers) will spawn in total, approaching you slowly.
After few minutes, a Battleship Drone will spawn (Alvus Ruler, formerly The Large Mother Drone). It has high damage, even on 50km, so be careful. As you shoot the BS, another group of 5 drones (cruisers, battlecruisers) will spawn.
**Blitz:** go in passive tanked, ignore all sentries and neut.towers; while waiting for the BS, kill off the first spawn. Wait for the BS to come out of the range of the stasis towers (you won't have cap to tractor the loot can), then go for it, pick the can, finito.
Alternative Blitz: go in passive tanked, but kill the Stasis Towers early. There's plenty of time to take care of the triggered Strain spawn before the BS drone with the mission loot spawns, and this way you can attack it earlier (while still closer to the structures).
