1. distract the hauler’s response fleet, or gank it
2. drain the stronghold’s capacitor using the pod you used to get a bm 1500km+ from it
3. warp to 100km, warp your alt’s pod out, dump drones, engage structure, hightail it thataway
4. orbit from 200km to 400km [edit: bad idea; orbit \<160km]
5. bring all your alts to that safespot 1500km+ from it
6. …
7. profit

total time, exactly, to solo = 78 minutes, including the time to drain fob using pod.

minimum reward for 1 pilot on grid = 15m  
optimal reward for 10 pilots on grid = 30m  
anything less or more than 10 pilots lowers the reward.  
most pilots i’ve seen used is 48 so i assume that’s the amount you’d need to get the maximum 800m isk payout.

preoverheat, take your drug  
warp to 100km default  
orbit at 100km default  
hit f3 (mwd)  
launch drones  
target stronghold  
engage target

warp out your pod !

turn off overheat !!

I tried another test with nomads instead and the results were equivalent. slower but quicker to speed…i’d probably prefer the nomads simply to get up to speed a tiny bit faster and the agility later on if needed.
