Mission briefing
A large convoy was spotted in a nearby system, apparently en route straight through Weraroix. This is a perfect chance for you to show us what you're worth. This convoy comes with a large escort, so you better go out there prepared. I want you to intercept the convoy after it makes the jump into Weraroix; Destroy the ships if they don't surrender their goods, and bring anything you can salvage back to me. I'll split the loot. Sounds fair eh?

Blitz: Kill Group 3 (including the Blood Raider Personnel Transport) of pocket 2 and loot the Militants.

1st pocket

Acceleration gate 60 km from warp-in. Gate is locked until all enemies destroyed.

No aggro on warp-in. Proximity aggro on groups 2 & 3 when within 6km of the gate.

Tips:

  • Group 4 can be sniped without aggroing anything else.
  • Attacking Group 2 aggroes Group 3. The last group will remain neutral and can be aggroed separately.
  • Attacking Group 1 OR 3: Aggroes whole pocket.


You can eliminate both groups 4 and 1 without drawing pocket aggro but it gets a bit complicated. You need to fly your ship off to the side putting the station ruins between your ship and groups 1 2 and 3. After your within range eliminate group 4 this will draw group 1 aggro. If you wait for a few minutes after destroying group 4 you will notice that group 1 will be stuck in the station ruins unable to get close to you. Additionally they will have drifted out of aggro range of the other 2 pockets. At this point it should be safe to eliminate group 1 without 2 and 3 aggroing you.

2nd pocket

NO aggro on warp in. The transport ships drop the mission objective. Destroying the group in which the transporters are (group 3) marks the mission completed.

Tips:

  • Group 1 can be ignored. Though they will aggro your drones from far away if not destroyed.
  • Aggro for Group 2 & 3 are tied with each other. Attacking either will aggro the other.
  • Attacking Group 4 aggroes group 3
