Mission briefing
We have reports of a strange Angel fleet massing in a nearby system. The reports say they're all small ships, but I'm not sure if I'd trust that. I need a pilot to round up some mates and go take them out. You game?

Single ungated pocket.

Important Note: All rats in this mission have 60%+ (often 70%+) lowest resistance (explosive) and resistance is same for shield and armor !

Tips:

• Snipers can warp [fleet] at range. All groups and spawns will auto-aggro.
• Set your drones to passive to keep them from taking out trigger ships that could cause swarming, and watch them for frequent aggro.
• The last Hostile killed of a ship class triggers the next spawn unless marked otherwise.
• Following the trigger sequence is advisable for a sniper too, since even the Battleships move in fast.
• The Frigate spawn may not show up.
• Mission is flagged completed after you have killed the last Battleship.
• As usual divert Drone aggro by pulling them in for a second. Remote Shield Booster is an option for Sentries.
• The naming convention under the Overview for Type and Name are swapped. This results in Angel Destroyer being seen as the default name, instead of Gistior Seizer.

Optional Approach:

• Use Micro Jump Drive as it's much easier to take everything out from a distance.

Blitz:

• Kill the initial group, ignore the elite frigates, and focus on the reinforcement wave (triggered by the frigate).
• You may want to kill some or all of the elite cruisers and battlecruisers to reduce incoming damage.
• Kill the disruptor frigates and all the battleships, done.

Spawn triggers need to be verified and confirmed.

Loot, Salvage and Bounty

Loot: 1-14 million
Note: Loot for this mission is highly luck dependent. You can get several Clutch Restrained/ Pitfall Compact Warp Field Disruption Generators, worth around 2.7-2.8 million each. On one run I got 4 of these in total and ended up with 13.9 million isk in loot as a result.
Salvage: 1.4 mil
Bounty: 10 mil
