IMPORTANT: This mission requires you to kill 3 waves, but the last two waves are trivial, just one battleship in the second wave and two BS in the third wave. The first wave is where all the action is. When you warp to the location, you'll need to approach Audalle Roire who is approx 30km away. When you get within 20km or so, he will speak to you, and the first wave will spawn fairly close, within 15km, and close quickly. The wave is just a few ships at first, but more battleships arrive every few seconds, until there are 12 battleships total. The DPS you will receive initially seems tankable, but ramps up -very- fast to insane levels. Don't even think about it - as soon as the first few ships arrive, JUST INITIATE WARP OUT IMMEDIATELY, and good luck with your tank holding if you delay at all. There were no warp scramblers the two times I did it, but do expect webbing. Then warp back at 100km distance and start moving away as soon as they're in range, sniping from as far as you can - for your projectile users, use arty, even if you're in a Machariel. Their ships are fast and will catch up to even a 180m/s BS well before you can take them all out. At greater than 50km, the damage is ~~fairly easily tanked, but once they come within 20km~~, DPS will start climbing sharply again, ~~warp~~ out again and come back at 0km - the wave should now be a good 100km from the starting point, and you can repeat the process. Do it this way, and it'll be easy - I handled it rather easily and painlessly in a Maelstrom. Try even briefly to tank the 12 BS's at close range, and, well, I hope your ship was insured. Oh, yes, a signal amplifier or sensor booster to extend your targeting range is probably a good choice for this mission as well, since you really want to stay as far away as possible. And, needless to say, an afterburner wouldn't be amiss either, if you can stay far enough away you shouldn't need to tank much at all. Even MWD should work, though I haven't tested it - but I'd just do regular AB anyway, the signature increase likely isn't worth it.

Their ships are fast and will catch up to even a 180m/s BS well before you can take them all out. At greater than 70km, they'll miss you altogether. At greater than 50km, the damage is tankable without too much trouble. Much closer, and the DPS will start climbing sharply again, don't be shy about warping out again and come back at 0km if you need to - the remainder of the wave should now be a good 100km from the starting point, and you can repeat the process.
