Before shooting any tower focus on lowering the number of ~~enemys~~ in the pocket. The ~~incomming~~ damage is quite substantial so something with a decent tank, or warp-outs are necessary. You will be webbed down to ~10% velocity or less (14.0 m/s in a BC), so speed tanking isn't possible. After the area is cleared of most of the ~~enemys~~, shoot one of the stasis ~~turrets~~. This pocket can easily become tank-melting if you target the turrets before clearing the initial ships. After all the turrets are gone and everything's dead, shoot 'Pat's Shipyard' for the final spawn and kill him off. There are multiple cargo containers in the pocket (containing a small amount of ammo, one had faction ammo). A large number of Veldspar ~~Asteroids~~ are in this pocket.

'''Blitzing this pocket is possible but fairly impractical.''' Shoot Pat's Shipyard and kill Pat. You will probably want to kill all initial ships as you will be moving at the ~~snails~~ pace of 14 m/s and the damage will be significant. Then kill stasis towers and Wave B. Ignoring missile turrets and Wave A will still allow you to complete the site and qualify for a potential escalation.

'''Blitzing this pocket is possible but fairly impractical.''' Shoot Pat's Shipyard and kill Pat. You will probably want to kill all initial ships as you will be moving at the snail's pace of 14 m/s and the damage will be significant. Then kill stasis towers and Wave B. Ignoring missile turrets and Wave A will still allow you to complete the site and qualify for a potential escalation.

Blitz info edit:

As stated above you only need to shoot the smugglers gate in the first pocket once to spawn gate keeper (smuggler commander)and gate is open once he is destroyed. Do quickly as ~~dps~~ is quite high.

In second room I suggest heading towards Pat's shipyard (obviously slowly due to webs) and take out the dessies and cruisers first (remove the dps). Once they are gone, shoot the shipyard to spawn Pat's wave as the bc's and Pat's wave don't have enough DPS to break a decent tank. Destroy the weed frigates and bc's while you wait for Pat to get closer. Once Pat is close, take him out and scoop wreck, and hopefully receive escalation. While slow boating to wreck (which is usually only 5000m away if done correctly) shoot other ships at your discretion - but never the towers. I find this easy to do in a Loki with a DC2, explosive deflection field 2, shield boost amp 2 and med shield booster running. Even though it seems a slow way to do the mission, it is still faster than shooting everything.
