Enemy: Mostly Gallente, plus 3 Minmatar cruisers (no standing loss)

Single pocket. Blow up the Intaki Control Tower, which takes a good bit of damage to bring down. Destroying it spawns 2x frigates, 5x cruisers and 5x battleships. ~~Two~~ of ~~these battleships are~~ triggers ~~for 3-~~4 additional ~~"veteran" battleship spawns~~.

Single pocket. Blow up the Intaki Control Tower, which takes a good bit of damage to bring down. Destroying it spawns 2x frigates, 5x cruisers and 6x battleships. Killing the last Syndicate Battleship triggers 3 additional Syndicate Veteran Battleships. Killing the last of those triggers 4 additional Syndicate Veteran Battleships.

These Veteran Battleships are -very- fast and within 20 km they do obscene damage. Even doing 500 m/s in a Machariel with AB, they easily caught up to me and I had to warp out, as they easily broke my tank once they got close. Definitely another long range sniping mission, and will probably require at least one warp out to reestablish distance from the veteran BSs. Do not be shy about warping out, they pile on the damage very quickly, and your normal instincts about how long your tank can survive may not be correct for these enemies.

This mission can be done with a heavily tanked BS or T3 cruiser without major kiting.

These battleships seemed to turn around and fly back to their spawn point (even though they still had you locked) once they got some distance from it (somewhere in the 60 to 100 km range, sadly I didn't measure it precisely). This behavior could probably be taken advantage of.
