Pocket 2 structures yield minimal loot-- two major assembly arrays drop some minerals and the war station drops some T1 modules.

on pocket 2, BOTH groups locked me when I shot at 1 group. be aware of this.
-- WebbHost (2009-01-05 14:47:11)
One of the two interceptors in the first pocket webbed and warp scrambled me. This has happened to me on more than one occaision.
-- Liberator1 (2009-02-11 01:48:17)
The "War Station" structure still drops worthless (vs time + ammo cost) loot. I didn't even bother trying the "Pleasure Hub" in the third room. Good bounties for this mission, though.
-- MelliNok (2009-02-15 17:03:17)
Word of warning to anyone wanting to run the mission to mine the Veld asteroids, they are in third pocket and are 50 to 100 km away from your entry-point... so if planning to use hauler or orca that's going to take a lot of travel time. :( I didn't bother.
-- GaryWill (2009-07-05 14:10:54)
Destroyed shipyards and docked ships. No loot or salvage. Attacked the Pleasure Hub but I could not damage it. Must be indestructable.
-- Dethbringer1 (2010-02-16 17:28:51)
Pocket 1 is in fact the first gate to be activated; so the mission has in fact two pockets. I can further second the fact the structures in the final pocket are indestructible.
-- WendelgardD (2011-10-23 05:50:15)
Major Assembly Array: Laughable loot, but low amount of ammo required.
War installation: loot compared to ammo and time required NOT worth it. Waste of time and money, leave it to rot by it self!
-- GainardBold (2012-01-26 11:47:27)
Pocket 2...
For me, the two Major Assembly Arrays nearest the warp-in point were the ones which dropped loot (i.e. Precious Alloy x1, Morphite x5; Crystal Compound x1, Tritanium x10). The other Major Assembly Arrays did not drop loot.
-- WheatGrass (2013-01-02 05:21:02)
Dampening in this mission.
-- MalMasters (2013-01-13 23:33:43)
In the last room more than 7 sensor dampening ships (about 10 or 12 ).
Bounty Rewards: 2 077 887 ISK
MIssion Rewards: 481 000 ISK
Bonus Rewards: 559 000 ISK
Loot approx: 5 160 000 ISK
Total: 8 287 887 ISK

I didn't bother to shoot War Instalation and mine asteroids.
Done in my Corax
-- RolSon (2013-08-19 10:53:24)
Gave up with the war installation with 5 Vespa and 250mm rails
-- AribethThiesant (2015-01-29 19:07:23)
War Installation took 20 minutes and contained 1m ISK of loot.. Not wort the effort
-- AribethThiesant (2015-01-30 08:20:04)
I think it took like 10 minutes for my Ishtar's T2 Gardes to kill it, but it only dropped T1 items. Completely useless.
