Im trying to improve my Angel Red Light District 5/10 completion time by supporting my Artillery Sleipnir main with a Valkyire Gila alt.

My questions are as follows:

1) Im having trouble finding accurate up-to-date info on current aggro mechanics.
-a) Does the rule that BS only aggress Heavies still apply?
-b) How much aggro will my Gila, with a larger sig compared to my Sleipnir, (due to Shield Extenders) pull on its own?
-c) Will Valkyries, of whichever type, be able to handle aggro/dps vs the full frigate/cruiser spawn of a room at start?

2) Im planning to clear frigates and cruisers with the Sleipnir before warping in the Gila to shave a few minutes off BS kill time:
-a) Is this necessary? Will my Gila and Valkyrie variants be able to handle aggression, as split with the Sleipnir?
-b) Im planning to run the Gila with a MWD at extreme range (<90k drone control). Is this practical? Should I close in for RLM instead?
-c) Should I use Aug Valk, Valk II or Republic Valkyrie? Which stacks best with Gilas role bonus?

3) Any tips/advise on how best to run this site with an Arty Sleipnir main that can tank the site itself, with a Gila alt alongside?

Currently my completion time with the Arty Sleipnir alone is 45mins-1hr. I ignore the BS and Cruisers in the last room, and kill the structure after frigates/destroyers are dead.

I use a Gila as secondary DPS for 5-6/10s all the time and they work very well. No need for long drone control range as a standard PVP fit will work fine.

Just stay at 40K+ and moving with MWD off, use it from time to time to keep range and burn out to 50-60k if you take full agro.

Drones will take aggro from Frigs-BC but Gila drones are Tanky so its rare to lose one (Unless webs, i have lose a few in the last room of 5/10s if the drones take a far away web, IE Blood 5/10). When they take aggro i just pull the 1 taking aggro and drop a spare while the shields recharge. Kill small stuff first or stick the drones on a BS thats far away from the main group so everything has to burn over to them.

Use Rapid lights to pop frigs.

Otherwise you can use a VNI or Ishtar with Sentries, no need for tank just set up for max range a burn away from the NPCs plant Sentries at like 70-80k and assist to main (or if you are motivated control drones and shoot things that are burning to you)
