Note: Heavy drone aggro in Angel & Sansha Pocket 2. Setting drones to passive in order to avoid accidental aggro is recommended.

This is not a drone friendly mission. However, one thing I notice since the AI update is a "glitch". If you do not shoot anyone, and you release more than one drone shooting at one target. Once they start shooting at one of your drones you can scoop that drone back into the bay. The foes should not shoot at your other drones. This "glitch" maybe fixed down the road.

This is a time consuming mission if you do both the Angel & Sansha sides.

Pocket 1 (War Zone)

The two gates are locked until you kill the trigger ship from each faction. The trigger ships are ALWAYS a Gist War General** and **Centus Savage Lord from the respective groups.

NO aggro from the initial groups until you attack them. Each group can be aggroed independently. Drones can be safely deployed to attack any group with aggroing the entire pocket.

Angel Group:
4x Elite Frigates (Arch Gistii Impaler/Hunter) Web/Scramble
1x Elite Cruiser (Arch Gistum Smasher/Crusher) Target Paint (Arch Gistum Crusher)
5x Battlecruisers (Gistatis Primus/Tribuni)
3x Battleships (Gist War General/General/Commander) Gate Unlock Trigger (Gist War General)

NOTE: I notice since the AI update the ships react to the type of drones you use. While using long range sentry drones the foes try to get out of the drones ranges by getting closer. While using short range sentry drones the foes try to move away.

Sansha Group:
3x Elite Frigates (Centii Loyal Ravener/Scavanger) Web/Scramble
3x Battlecruisers (Centatis Specter/Wraith)
4x Battleships (Centus Savage Lord/Overlord/Beast Lord/Dark Lord) Gate Unlock Trigger (Centus Savage Lord)

Tip:
- The NPC ships will not travel more than 30km from their respective spawn points.
- Drones/fleet members maybe targetted as the NPC ships reset their targetting when moving back to their spawn points.
- Move to a sniping position near the respective gate, roughly 75-80km (recommended distance) from the Angel Asteroid Outpost or Sansha Watchtower. They will travel back and forth in a merry-go-round while you snipe.

Pocket 2 (Angel Base)

On warp-in, Group 1 will auto aggro. The Angel Spy frigates do not scramble but they do web. DO watch for Thugs and Outlaws srcams. All ships in this pocket have to be destroyed to unlock the gate.

__Warning__:
- DO NOT deploy your drones to attack Group 1. (I'm going to say this is optional. I didn't move and I had my drones attack group 1 with no problem. However, everyone in the room did target my drones and not me. T1 hobgoblin)
- __Any attack on the Angel Spy frigates__ by fleet members will aggro the entire pocket. It is safe however, for them to kill the sentry guns in Group 1.
- The FIRST ship that had warped into the pocket may kill the Angel Spy frigates without repercussions, as long as you stick to turret weapons/missiles.

NO aggro from the other groups until you attack them. Each group can be aggroed independently.

Group 1 (Auto-aggro):

2-3km from warp in 2x Frigates (Angel Viper (named Angel Spy)) Web
3x Angel Sentry Guns (Tower Sentry Angel III)

Group 2:

3x Battlecruisers (Gistatis Praefectus/Tribuni)
2x Battleships (Gist Saint/Warlord)

Group 3:

20-30km from warp in 5x Destroyers (Gistior Seizer/Thrasher)
3x Elite Cruisers (Arch Gistum Phalanx/Centurion)

Group 4:

20-30 km from warp ni 6x Elite Frigates (Arch Gistii Thug/Outlaw) Web/Scramble
4x Battleships (Gist General/Commander)

Random Spawn (Auto-aggro):

1x Battleship (Angel Overseer)

Tip:
- Once Group 1 has been eliminated, it is fairly safe to deploy your drones for the remaining groups. Keep a close watch on your drones’ target to ensure that they do not stray and mistakenly attack a neutral group.
- Recommended order for elimination: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and finally Group 4.

- An Angel Overseer battleship will have a random chance to spawn in this pocket. The chance to spawn seems to be based on triggering the Angel Base warp gate in Pocket 1 and then completing the warp into this pocket.

Pocket 2 (Sansha Base)

On warp-in, Group 1 will auto aggro. The Sansha Spy frigates do not scramble but they do web.

__Warning__:
- DO NOT deploy your drones to attack Group 1.
- __Any attack on the Sansha Spy frigates__ by fleet members will aggro the entire pocket. It is safe however, for them to kill the battleships in Group 1.
- The FIRST ship that had warped into the pocket may kill the Sansha Spy frigates without repercussions, as long as you stick to turret weapons/missiles.

NO aggro from the other groups until you attack them. Each group can be aggroed independently.

Group 1 (Auto-aggro):

2x Frigates (Sansha's Berserker (named Sansha Spy)) Web
3x Battleships (Centus Dread Lord/Savage Lord/Dark Lord/Beast Lord)

Group 2:

5x Destroyers (Centior Monster/Abomination)
4x Battleships (Centus Dark Lord/Beast Lord/Overlord)

Group 3:

4x Elite Frigates (Centii Loyal Scavanger/Ravener) Web/Scramble
5x Elite Cruisers (Centum Loyal Hellhound/Fiend)
3x Battleships (Centus Savage Lord/Plague Lord/Mutant Lord/Slave Lord)

Random Spawn (Auto-aggro):

1x Battleship (Sansha’s Overseer)

Tip:
- Once Group 1 has been eliminated, it is fairly safe to deploy your drones for the remaining groups. Keep a close watch on your drones’ target to ensure that they do not stray and mistakenly attack a neutral group.
- Recommended order for elimination: Group 1, Group 2 and finally Group 3.

- An Sansha's Overseer battleship will have a random chance to spawn in this pocket. The chance to spawn seems to be based on triggering the Sansha Base warp gate in Pocket 1 and then completing the warp into this pocket.

Pocket 3 (Research Outpost)

You will warp-in randomly around 5km from the Heron. In addition to the immediate aggro from Group 1, there is a small chance that one or more other groups will aggro due to proximity triggers. If this happens, start moving away from the remaining neutral groups and check if the webbing/scrambling Elite Frigates have you locked. Kill them first if they have you locked.

If you are fleeted with friends, have them __focus fire on Group 1 or any groups that have been aggroed by mistake.__ The FIRST ship needs to act as an Fleet Commander and assign the appropiate targets. A common mistake is to have everyone shoot random or their closest target, which leads to the whole pocket being aggroed.

Sometimes fleet members that enter later will land differently and aggro groups that were unaggroed. If this includes the elite frigates and they scramble the new arrival, it can mean a quick death. All fleet members should have at least enough tank to survive until the scramblers are cleared. Having the lead ship tank the entire pocket is extremely difficult, as it can put down 1300-1500 dps, in a wide variety of configurations. Here are some (extreme) examples:
- 50% Exp, 31% Therm, 16% Kin, 2% EM
- 63% Exp, 15% EM, 15% Kin, 6% Therm
- 58% Exp, 23% Kin, 12% EM, 7% Therm

NO drone aggro for the entire pocket. You can deploy drones normally.

Group 1:

3x Elite Cruisers (Arch Gistum Phalanx/Centurion)

Tip:
- Warping-in from either Angel or Sansha Base does not change the ship combination for this pocket. It will always be Angel ships.

Blitz:
- Pocket 1: Unlock the Angel Base gate either using a Zbikoki's Hacker Card (or killing the Gist War General). The card will be consumed upon activation.

- Pocket 2 (Angel Base): All ships in Pocket 2 have to be destroyed to unlock the gate.

- Pocket 3 (Research Outpost): Destroy Group 1, grab the hostages from the heron, fly back to your agent. No need to destroy entire groups. - confirmed in July 16, 2014.

- The [Zbikoki's Hacker Card] can be found in Zor's wreck in “RightHandofZazzmatazz4 The Right Hand of Zazzmatazz” or "DamselInDistress4 Damsel In Distress" Level 4 mission.

This video is one of many ways to do this mission. (The game got super glitch during the video. (I gave the GM a heads up) Anyways, I'm going to redo this mission down the road)I did leave out the fact you need to pick up the guys and bring them back to your agent. http://youtu.be/Tv3TZ0dC23k
