I need a little help with this mission. As I understand you can make a good amount of isk doing this missions but the first time i tried it I couldn't get the extra spawns.

For the first pocket do I have to leave at least 1 ship left then warp out then back in?

For pocket 2 EVE survival says "This room will clear and respawn a new group upon exiting (does not respawn every time).". Do I have to kill every ship in this pocket then warp out or do I again leave 1 ship left?

As for pocket 3 EVE survival says "There's a chance that if you have a friend warp into the room after the spawn appears, the spawn will disappear and a new spawn of 6 BS and 6 cruisers will appear.
There's also a chance that this spawn [Group 2] will appear if you warp out and back after killing Spawn 1, AND that it will be followed by a second Spawn 1.". So if I am reading this correctly I kill group 1(scarlet) and group 2 and all but 1 ship from the spawn then warp my salvage ship in to get them to respawn?

Pocket 4 seems the most confusing of all, and I think I'll just get the mission over and with by then.

Also scarlet has a chance of a dropping a implant in pocket 3 if you kill her. But what you kill her the second pocket? Does it only drop in the third?

One final question, is it really worth getting all the extra spawns? I mean if you have keep warping in and out, in and out. Would it not be better just make sure you kill scarlet and hope for a good drop, if she does drop anything good that is. Would it not be better to just get the mission done so you can move on to the next one?

I used to get the second spawns as a side effect of having my noctis alt come in behind me. Likewise if it didn't appear, I could always run the noctis back and forward - but they were not guarenteed, nor would they stay same race.

Its not a deadspace, the noctis can warp to you, and you can bm and warp to the second or third gates directly.

She is fairly easy to kill in the third pocket, ie even a dominix with a relatively small alpha can do it. I don't think it can kill her in the second pocket.

Since the change to drone AI i have not managed to get any extra spawns, I'm quite sure that the mission has been "fixed" about the same time as the new AI was implemented.

Having run this mission many times since i'm convinced the extra spawns are no more but she still drops a basic social implant if you pop her in room two.

It's a bit boring now & i miss running the Noctis gauntlet of death.
