Acceleration Gate into Deadspace

Single Pocket

Initial Group:
Contact’s ship is present at Warp-In at 15km away. But 20 seconds later you are notified in Local that, Oh sh--, “It’s a Trap!” The Contact's ship vanishes and instead a Caldari Fleet uncloaks near the same spot. Ships are 25-40km to the right of Warp-In

Your position at warp-in

3 x Frigates (Taibu State Shuriken) orbits at 10km, Web/Scramble, 27.5% Jamming, --Trigger 1-- 3 x Cruisers (Taibu State Daimyo/Shugo) orbits at 17km, 37.5% Jamming 12 x Battleships (State Shukuro *Bishamon/^^Shogun/Taisho) orbits of 32-50km, *Trigger 2, ^^Trigger 3 5 x Caldari Cruise Missile Batteries --Each is a Trigger-- 1 x Caldari Stasis Tower 3 x Caldari Energy Neutralizer Sentry IIIs

- Spawn 1:

3 x Frigates (Taibu State Nagasa) orbits at 2.5km, Web/Scramble

- Spawn 2:

2 x Battleships (State Shukuro Shogun/Bishamon) orbits at km

- Spawn 3:

3 x Battleships (State Shukuro Shogun) orbits at 35km

Each Missile Battery is a Trigger:
Triggered ships spawn at the Warp-In Beacon when the following Batteries are destroyed

Destroying:

Battery 1 (Top) - Spawns:

5 x Battleships (State Shukuro Bishamon/Daijo) orbits of 35km

Battery 2 (Left) - Spawns:

3 x Battleships (State Shukuro Nagashin) orbits at 68km Trigger

• • - Spawn 2a**

6 x Battlecruisers (State Shukuo Seki) orbits at 22km, Trigger

• • - Spawn 2b**

5 x Battleships (State Shukuro Nagashin) orbits at 68km **Objective Complete**

• • Caution:** The Nagashins will quickly move out to 68km and do a LOT of dps! Make sure you are tanked or have a logistics ships. 5 of them do over 1500 dps after resists.
    

Battery 3 (Middle) - Spawns:

3 x Battleships (State Shukuro Turushima) orbits at 21km, Jamming

Tips:
- Use a Passive Tank or plan a capacitor that receives an additional 120 units/s
- Maximum damage dealing of initial group is 1814 hp/s (EM 58%, Therm 42%)
- Do __not__ shoot Missile Batteries first (unless you can tank over 4000 hp/s...)
- Mission totals 33 Battleships, 16 Battlecruisers, 3 Cruisers, 6 Frigates
- Mission flagged complete when all "Battery 2 (Left)" spawns are destroyed
