Note
- Spawns vary.
- Your ship will be fitted automatically with a phantom "recon module."
- Gate restrictions: Cruiser class or smaller.
- Ore must be mined with a mining laser to start spawn counter.
- Mineable Asteroids: A fair few Veldspar and Scordite asteroids. Nothing worth worrying about.

1) This is not just an Amarr mission. I'm playing the Caldari version of the mission right now.
2) There is a bug in the initial spawn trigger. If you use drones to mine, the spawns will never happen. You MUST mine with a ship mounted module (like a mining laser) in order to trigger spawn 1. I went in with mining drones ONLY. After mining and waiting around for half an hour (I was doing other RL stuff too), I refitted with a mining laser. Used it on an asteroid, and voila! Spawn 1 appeared!
1) You can't go on the mission with a battlecruiser (gate restriction). I suggest a cruiser. With a destroyer is nearly impossible.
2) In order to complete the mission you need to MINE & KILL all the enemies.
Warp in and fly to an asteroid far away from the gate entrance point, and start mining. When the first enemy shows warp out.
Warp in again. Enemies are far away enough to take them out from a distance - at least a couple of them before the have closed in on you.
Try to fight them far away from the gate entrance point in case you have to warp out and then go in again.
Strip Miners work.
Only two waves, unless 2 and 3 were simultaneous. One of the bigger ships had a tracking disrupter.
My Cruiser handled this with no problems. Didn't bother with an aggro strategy, they all targeted me at once, wiped 'em out.
Stick around and mine, the rocks are huge.
