This mission took me four tries. Ughh.
The inspection wp is close to the blacklight asteroid which is pretty neat, save that 1-2 level 5 blacklight commanders and 4-5lvl 3 cronieswill spawn in the approximate area of the Inspect (6 ships) Blacklight mission. Basically this is right after you destroy 4 blacklights on the patrol.
Look for these commanders and stay well outside of 1000m while circumnavigating to the opposite of the next Nav point.
On this side you can pick up a cluster of 6 blacklights that are the only ones packed within a 200m area. If you see them hold at about 1500m and be sure to gain the opposite side approach from the commander groups near the inspect cluster. You'll actually see the cluster hyper out together.. they will return however, so if you don't see them immediately.. wait a little and rettry your scanners. The best way to make sure you complete the mission is to A.) take the cluster away from the commander group or blacklights not in the cluster. and B.)be capable of disabling a ship on at least 2 flybies. I was able to fight 6 level 3's and disable them rather quickly. I'm not sure its easy.. but do the mission 3 times previous, and ya get a little better at leading and evading these bastards. Once they are disabled, your clear for a time being.. so inspect the disabled ships. Dock with the cargo. Done. You should be free
This mission hasn't failed me for time , going back to dant station for moderate repairs. Just don't land. and if need be, wait for a second set. 5 mins? You'll need it on the cluster. Use rear shield reinforce once you get inside the cluster, You could use rear adjust, but you'll find that buzzing around disabling ships you do get popped in the nose a bit. Though its good to be heavy on rear when your chasing a ship on the ouside and the rest are turning towards your ship.. once you start getting popped in the rear, you gotta cut to half speed turn tight and actually let the blacklights pass over you. Scrambled and disable em all.
Good Luck.
