**Single pocket with the following NPCs 9 Frigs, 4 Cruisers, ~~6BS~~

**Single pocket with the following NPCs: 9 Frigs, 4 Cruisers, and 6 BS.

**Cruisers have very strong jams and range > 170km - expect to be nearly perma jammed

**Cruisers have very strong jams and range > 170km - expect to be nearly perma jammed.

**Frigates warp scramble (2 warp strength)

**Frigates warp scramble (2 warp strength).

**The two points above make me recommend to bring ~~fof~~ missiles to shoot while jammed

**The two points above make me recommend to bring F.O.F. missiles to shoot while jammed.

**With good missile skills you can use FOF Cruise missiles from 200k+ which is well out of range from the NPCs.

**Alternatively, equip a sensor booster to be able to target the jammers from outside their range.

**You can also bring a friend in a fast frigate to draw their scrams and jams while you take those out

**You can also bring a friend in a fast frigate to draw their scrams and jams while you take those out. If the frigate maintains at least 600 m/s then it should be able to self-repair the reduced missile damage, but there is some more-sophisticated AI in this mission so the NPCs may switch targets anyway.

**Very heavy damage is dealt BSs fire very long range torps - I had to warp out several times in my Raven

**Very heavy damage is dealt by the BSs, which fire very long range torps - I had to warp out several times in my Raven.

**If you warp to the facility at close range and get full room close-range aggro, expect in excess of 4000 pre-resistance DPS, primarily kinetic.

**You can warp within the mission to structures

**You can warp within the mission to structures. (In fact, since there is no aggression until you start to close the distance to the office facility, you can come in first with a MWD frigate and set up some bookmarks to use during combat. Then you will be able to warp around for awesome kiting, and each time you warp you will break all target locks and cause all the inbound torps to miss you. This method is awesome for a dedicated sentry drone ship (e.g. Dominix) since each warp breaks their jams so you can relaunch your sentries and assign them to another target before you are jammed again - your drones will continue to attack that target until it is destroyed, at which point you can scoop them, warp to another bookmark, and repeat.)

**Once all NPCs have been killed warp/approach the office facility, get the family and return to the agent!
