~~Faction: Angel Cartel ~~

=== Single Pocket ===

~~Mission type: Encounter ~~

* May [Fleet] warp at preferred distance.

~~Space type: Normal Space ~~

* Best to set drones to passive.

~~Damage dealt: Explosive/ Kinetic/ Thermal ~~

* Battleship triggers may vary between different instances of the mission and can differ based on pocket composition.

~~Web/ Scramble: Stasis tower, Elite Frigates ~~

* Significant amount of target painting in reinforcements 1 and 3 which will balloon your signature radius to over 5x normal size. Strongly advised to kite and snipe target painting elite frigates and cruisers first if you're running a fit that relies on speed tanking, like a Gila or HAC.

~~Recommended damage dealing: Explosive/ Kinetic ~~

~~Recommended ship classes:~~ Battleship~~, Command Ship, Strategic Cruiser, HAC ~~

~~6x Battleship (Domination Commander/ Gist Malakim/ Seraphim) ~~

~~''' Tip:''' ~~

~~A good Explosive resist tank and MJD is recommended.~~

As with all Blockades the mission starts with one tight group including a stasis tower, followed by 4 spawns, triggered by certain ships. The waves are picked randomly out of a pool of several types of waves. The trigger ship is hard to document as it varies with the type of wave you get. The waves spawn in groups so you should observe the spawns you get and try to spot a unique battleship in one of the groups. This is most likely the trigger.

~~''' Optional Approach:''' ~~

1) Maintained optimal range and used Titanium Sabot for targets between 50- 100km and then EMP for targets under 50km. Since everything aggro as soon as it spawns use that to your advantage especially when in a gunboat. Pick off the smaller vessels first and then take out the Battleships.

2) Sniper fit may warp to preferred distance and bookmark it. Kill the Stasis Tower first, then the spawns as they approach starting with the web/ scramble Frigates. Slow boat away from the Stargate if needed. If NPCs swarm, warp to one of the structures in the pocket. Again kill the spawns while kiting them, if needed warp to your bookmark. Repeat. This way the mission is doable with a minimum tank (300 dps angel specific tank is enough if you kill real fast).

~~''' Structure:''' ~~

~~Spaceport drops general commodities.~~

~~''' Loot and Bounty:''' ~~

~~Bounty: ~21 mil. ~~
