Are you sure that shooting the first wave triggers the Mercenary wave? I thought it was when the repair station gets destroyed.

Mecrs come AFTER the Repair Station blows. Cruise through this one in blitz mode in a Thorax and 5 drones. Pop the three power stations, then set the drones on the repair station. It will pop before you do. Warp out in record time. :)

I second EchoVector's idea and will add the following:
After destroying the power stations I jettisoned a can next to the repair station and lock targeted the can. I then aligned to a stargate and had drones attack the can when I neared optimal firing range. Once the can was destroyed, the drones were directed to fire upon the repair station. All turrets were then added to the attack. The idea with the can is that it provided a way of getting my expendible drones on the scene while I got mostly out of harm's way. This allowed me, with a weak tank, to avoid much of the enemy fire and allowed for destroying many more enemy ships that I could otherwise have before warping out. The stasis tower can make this a challenging mission.

A quick way to kill the static targets (stasis/missile batteries) with shorter-range weapons is to bookmark asteroids near them, and warp out/in right next to them.

actually missile batteries were firing thunderbolt heavy missiles
-- ReLLiK7699 (2009-04-15 12:41:07)
2.8 million Veldspar
1.4 million Scordite

Missile batteries now use thunderbolt heavy missiles with 480em dmg each (dont know the dps).
