Loot: Nothing special, other than a (I presume useless) "Holoreel: Wanted For Love" that dropped in a can from the studio. Salvage was about 4 mil, expected better from such a huge number of battleships, perhaps I was just unlucky.

Enemy: Gallente and Minmatar

Single pocket. Every enemy in this mission is elite. Warp in 60k from 5x battleships, 3x cruisers and 5x frigates. Kill the frigates first, then *all but one* of the cruisers, then *all but one* of the battleships, as the last cruiser killed spawns another 5 cruisers, and the last battleship spawns 6 more battleships plus a named BS "Rosulf Fririk". Now, in previous missions you might have gathered that my main technique was sniping from as far as I could get, and you'd be right. But this mission I couldn't do that way, the tanks on these guys are too tough to overcome from a large distance in the time their missiles can break a good tank. And since it was mostly missile damage, the incoming DPS isn't much worse up close than it is at a distance. So for this one, it was autocannons all the way and getting in their face. Still required some warpouts, but at least I was able to kill the initial spawns one at a time this way. Funnily enough, the final spawn of 6 BS's plus the named was incredibly easy, I just orbited with afterburner at 15km around each battleship and melted them with my autocannons, and they couldn't touch me (granted, this was in a 500 m/s Machariel, might not work in a painfully slow Maelstrom, heh). At any rate, when Rosulf Fririk dies, he drops a can containing the goal you've been chasing all this time. Time to go back to Merybier and claim your prize!
