- Blitz-**
Go to warp gate, activate it, when you reach the next pocket you are done!
Pocket 1
The gates are not locked, so you can blitz this mission in a shuttle without a single kill.
The changes in rev 2.2 replaces a lot of ships with fewer, deadlier ships, with the same DPS overall.
In general, keep moving either towards the other gate or towards a distant object. Every minute, another group will respawn. If you are not killing them fast enough, you can get overwhelmed. There are a couple scramble possibilities, and most of them do damage from a distance (36km). Once they all spawn, it can make things rather difficult for a weakly tanked ship. So be careful.
