Its the only pirate Watch site I havent found much info to.
Im feeling I am doing something wrong in there.
In the 2nd pocket whenever I shoot the Smugglers Gate
I get 4 groups of mobs spawning with around 20 cruisers,
the overseer and also alot of destroyers.
I always have to warp out with my myrm because I get too much
damage.
Is there anything I need to do to have these groups spawn seperately?
Whats the best way to handle the 2nd pocket in this site?

I appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you

Get some range before triggering the spawn, don't get near the tower. Turn 180 degrees and burn 35K from tower and continue moving. Trigger spawn, wait for aggro, then get drones out. Kill overseer and his two cruiser Guardians. After the last cruiser dies, you might get a faction spawn at 70K. Aggress faction rat, he will come racing to you. Kill it, bookmark wreck and warp out. Wait for de-spawn, warp to wreck with fingers crossed.

Easy.

There are two triggers in the second room, the tower and the smuggler's gate.
If you shoot the tower as the trigger instead of the smuggler gate, the rats will spawn in groups instead of all at once.

I did that site a couple of times and made some notes. However, my notes aren't completed yet which is why I haven't added much info to the Evelopedia page about the site other than the opening statement.

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Serpentis_Watch

In the 2nd room, my notes show I had placed (Trigger) next to the Starbase Control Tower but I didn't list the spawn. Sad

Anyway, this is what my notes have.

Thanks everyone for your help.
DeMichael I appreciate your very detailed notes.
I have started to document my finding at
http://de.sistersprobe.wikia.com/wiki/Serpentis_Watch
Having run the site only twice they are of course much more incomplete than yours are.
