First Pocket

Access: Gateless, Open Access

This site is rather easy. Mind the wave trigger and destroy the Energy Neutralizers fast and you should have no problems. There are no warp disrupters on any of the NPCs, so you can come and leave as you see fit. Remember that since the site is gateless, you can make bookmarks you can warp to.

Escalation: Shadow Serpentis Fleet Staging Point, Part 3

Access: Gateless, Open Access

This site can be hard or easy, depending on how you approach it. It is very easy to accidentally trigger all 3 reinforcement waves. They are triggered at 70% station shield, at 30% shield and at 50% armor.
You should first clear out any NPCs. Then do minimal damage to get the stations shield to 70%, clear out that wave and repeat for the next wave and the last wave. Consider de-grouping launchers or/and only using some of the drones. If you do it in groups, coordinate with the others.
