~~==Locating & Difficulty==~~

~~This~~ is ~~a type of hidden~~ combat site that can be scanned ~~down with scanner probes, and can be found~~ in ~~high-security systems~~. ~~It's gate allows Battlecruisers or smaller to enter~~, ~~and~~ a ~~Battlecruiser or HAC is my suggestion for what you should bring, although if the triggers are managed correctly it would probably be practical in an assault frigate~~ or cruiser. ~~Throughout~~ this site ~~and the further expedition, there are several messages in local~~.

The '''Angel Watch''' is an [[Combat_sites#Unrated_complexes|unrated cosmic signature combat site]] that can be scanned using Core Probes in [[Angel Cartel|Angel]] infested regions of High Sec space. Estimated payout 8.5 mil ISK, not counting faction drops.

To complete this site you will need a battlecruiser or well fitted cruiser. Only a battlecruiser class ship or lower, and their Tech II equivalents, may enter this site.

== Walkthrough ==

~~On warp in, you arrive at an acceleration gate.~~

~~Waves~~ of ~~frigs/destroyers with some mixed BCs~~, the trigger is ~~always the named~~ ship (Communications ~~Officer, etc)~~. ~~After all waves are dead, the gate unlocks~~.

===Second pocket===

~~[[File:Angel_Watch_Pocket_2.jpg|400px]]~~

~~About 10 mixed frigates/destroyers/BCs~~ and ~~some turrets on warp in~~, ~~with 4 timed waves of additional turrets~~ and ~~BCs. When the area is clear (or before, if you feel the incoming damage is acceptable) you can shoot the Angel Drug Farm to spawn~~ a wave of 1 BC (Commander) and 4 elite frigates. Killing the Commander can lead to the escalation, and can spawn a single Domination frigate. Based on the messages in Local, you may be able to stop 2 waves of reinforcements by destroying the bunkers and storage facilities. I personally would rather collect the rewards. "Gist Missile Batteries and ships have been deployed from bunkers and storage facilities nearby."

'''Note:''' Waves 2 and 3 are triggered by approaching structures, and are additionally possibly on a timer.

~~Blitz info~~:

{{MessageBox

~~Upon warp in you will see~~ the Drug ~~Farm right in front of you. To save time and ammo you only have to shoot Angel Drug Farm once to spawn Commander, it doesn't have to be destroyed~~ at any stage for completion or escalation. The supervisor appears 100 odd km directly behind the farm (thus in front of you) and it is the only target you have to destroy to complete for escalation. Note that if the pop up tells you the trail grows cold, there is no escalation, but check other targets first because a dommie frigate may still appear whether the mission escalates or not. The dommie rat usually only has faction ammo and meta junk, but i have in the past found a dramiel bpc and other such goodies.

The Domination spawn will drop anything from faction ammo and lower value mods averaging 20 mil isk, to Gistii A-Type shield boosters, worth approximately 200 million isk. [picattacip Vherocip July 31, 2012]
