Got this mail from Mox Kaleb:

Blitz instruction on the second pocket states that you can destroy the ships that are furthest from you on warp in, but that you shouldn't move or use drones. However, after destroying the control tower on warp in (prevents any respawn/second wave, although not sure I needed to) I moved to sentry drone range of the furthest pocket (60-90km with Warden II's), and took them out. 3 battleships aggro you, but the remaining rat groups target your drones. But as they are sentries its easy to scoop to drone bay when drone shields are getting low, then deploy them again more or less immediately. Using this method it takes only a few minutes to rip through the furthest pocket of two BS's and a couple of frigs, and complete the mission. Hope this may be of use to drone users?
