With a rigged Drake or even a Raven this mission is not a problem. When you just bought your Drake and don't have a T2 hardened tank, this mission can be daunting due to the respawns if you don't blow up the hub first. It's still doable though by flying backwards. I always kill Krull last, so the spawn he calls in won't hurt. I use EM/Therm/Invul T2 hardeners and thermal missiles for this mission.
Much easier then warping on top of them all..
Fly safe,

You can still blitz it with a slow ship (BS)... This is what I did:
Warp in within 70km (or whatever) and use your AB to draw everyone at the opposite direction of the hub (30 or 40 km will do).
During that time destroy the hub and bookmark the container left.
Warp out and then warp back 0km from the container, open cargo, get Damsel and get out. ;)
