Group 1: Minmatar Military Station Ruins (50-75km):

2x Frigates (Corpii Diviner/Raider/Herald)
2x Cruisers (Corpum Arch Sage/Arch Priest)**NOS (Sage)**
2x Battleships (Corpus Prophet/Archon)

Group 2: Ripped Superstructure (80-85km):

3x Cruisers (Corpum Arch Priest/Arch Sage)**NOS (Sage)**
2x Battlecruisers (Corpior Bishop/Seer)

Group 3: Acceleration Gate (90-95km):

3x Cruisers (Corpum Revenant/Arch Templar) Tracking Disruptor
3x Battleships (Corpus Prophet/Archon/Oracle)

Group 4: Dysfunctional Solar Harvester (90-105km):

3x Cruisers (Corpum Priest/Sage/Shadow Sage)

- Tip:**

- Attacking Group 1 OR 3: Aggroes whole pocket.

- Attacking Group 2 OR 4: Aggroes Group 1 & 3 only. The last group will remain neutral and can be aggroed separately.

- Note:** Attacking Group 4 may only aggro Group 1. I'm not sure it always works.
- Note:** You can Eiminate both groups 4 and 1 without drawing pocket agro but it gets a bit complicated. you need to fly your ship off to the side putting the station ruins between your ship and groups 1 2 and 3. after your within range eliminate group 4 this will draw group 1 agro. if you wait for a few minuts after destroying group 4 you will notice that group 1 will be stuck in the station ruins unable to get close to you. additionally they will have drifted out of agro range of the other 2 pockets. at this point it should be safe to eliminate group 1 without 2 and 3 agroing you.

Pocket 2

NO aggro on warp in.
