This is one of the missions rated "very hard" in the EVE-Survival lists. Obviously, multiboxing it with ISBoxer makes it a whole hell of a lot easier. ;)
This was my first real mission with the new setup and I must say, it R da bee's knees.

Just to illuminate some of what I'm doing here:
1) I have an overview preset saved with only enemy ships (mostly). All 5 are sorted for nearest range.
2) For ships that aren't cooperating with the range list, I right click the target on my main and fleet target it, which makes it bubble up to the top of the list on everyone's overview (eventually) for easier selection.
3) For times when I wanna make sure I'm focus-firing, the layout above makes it easy to select the same ship individually on all 5, then mouse-broadcast-click the missile launchers. I click-broadcast them due to the fucked up way EVE swallows keyboard commands depending on which window element has "focus." :mad:
4) I use the context menus to recall/resend the drones. With the layout above, it makes that task trivial.
5) My 5th guy is about half the skill points of the rest, so some things don't line up properly yet.
6) I setup the UI for broadcasting mouse clicks by going into them all, selecting "Reset to default window positions," turning on the option for "Lock windows when pinned" and then pinning the overview windows. I also moved the target list over next to the overview and arranged it vertically. As you can see, it makes things very coherent at-a-glance.
Let me know if you have questions on the setup. ;)
