Walkthrough

There are two variations of this combat site. The first variation takes place in the Infested Station Ruin and includes Heavy Missile Batteries in the initial wave. The second variation takes place in the Drone Structure I and includes Sentry Missile Batteries in the initial wave. Suits speed tanked missile ships - Jackdaw, Caracal Navy Issue, and thought likely doable with a Vexor. Make use of range & microwarp to wean out Cruisers then bombard remaining battleships.
