It has definitely been done with an Ashimmu. There’s a video here.
I personally prefer a vigilant, since you can easily keep up once the cruiser is webbed, and it has higher dps, but the ashimmu has the advantage of landing the webs earlier, so there’s at least that.
@Iwo_Sh_ivah
Nice work! I’ll hopefully get to try something similar later tonight.
Worth it, I can tell already 
Confirmed…the Ashimmu can lock the cruiser down with webs as soon as you land in the site. Light EM Drones and some support from a fleet Gnosis will quickly end the Drifter Cruiser.
Here is a good fleet to run.
Brawler Fleet Mode…engaged
This how things used to get done back on Earth.
Two Ashimmu with dual webbers to web the Drifter Cruiser to death.
Plus one speed tanking BC, Cruiser or Frigate for DPS.
The Ashimmu warp into the event site and web the cruiser. The DPS then come in and knock the snot out of the Frigs to get points. The Ashimmu then switch turns webbing the Cruiser so both Ashimmu can get points.
When the fleet is ready to hit another site both webbers gang up on the Cruiser and take it out.
Its basically like sending in two fast assassins to hold the villain hostages while he watches his goons take a gut beating.
Then it becomes the villains turn.
That’s for Empress Jamyl.
Welp,
I am done running the sites (solo with a Gila).
When I run out of Cerebral Accelerators I might start running them again, of just buy them off the market. Currently it is more profitable to NOT run them.
YMMV
Switched from my Loki to a Machariel today which is able to DPS down the Battleship in 3-4min, and kills the Cruiser in 30s. Yeah, don’t think I can get better. 20 Gnosis and 10 Sunesis in the cooking now, though I expect the price to go down fast with all the BPC drops.
Haven’t seen an escalation yet … but beating the BS site is fun. It requires careful management of range, modules and heat with no room for errors.
What Machariel fit do you use to take down the Cruiser in 30 seconds? 
I gave up using my Mach and tried using my Cynabal instead. Found a fit that can take the Cruiser down in about 60 seconds, so I’m happy with that. He can’t go as fast as I can and with 2x Webber II he doesn’t go anywhere once I’ve caught up to him.
for the cruiser sites i had fun with 2 ships.

solo ?
I can’t get it down with less than 1000 DPS
With mach + support ship the BS goes down in 3min.
The escalation on the other hand is a very very different story.
(and yes was doing the cr in a mach from the beginning)
I just finished my first event site in an Alpha Clone Flown Ashimmu.
The cruiser got me into half hull though. Running the Ashimmu with an Alpha Clone takes skill.
If that doesn’t add a dash of butthurt to the Omega’s, I don’t know what will.
If a point can hold the BS maybe it will also hold the cruiser. For some reason I was under the impression that warp disruption did not work on drifters.
I think I will try this:

Also it seems only 1 of the Nos was beneficial.

Have you noticed that if you chase the Cruiser out far enough it will eventually come back towards you?
Ok I tried again with another success, but the log is limited so that wasn’t the whole fight, it starts out with both nos getting 40 then slowly declines so im capping out the cruiser, or at least the pool of cap it has that a player has access to using cap warfare. So for NPCs limited cap for us but unlimited cap for them (As in they ignore cap but have it).
@DrysonBennington No i have not noticed that behavior.
It seems to work if two or more ships are in the site. I haven’t come across it solo yet.
Yeah it is nice to have the frigs otherwise distracted, just did it again solo but i bumped the cruiser and cause it to spin around and fly back the way we came. We through right back past the frigates. By the time I killed the cruiser my armor was at 10-15% my low armor alarm was going off as it would dip below, rep, and dip below again.
Ever pick up two rookie pilots and train them in an event site like this?
It’s rather fun teaching and watching them gut punch the Drifters. Reminds me of when I first started.
Get out of my bed you worthless Drifter wench.
You tell us where the main staging area is and I will keep you.
I rather like watching them chase it out to 400km in a vain attempt to kill it…
Yes, nothing too special, Autocannons with Plasma + two Geckos give me 1320 DPS cold and before boosters.
Just approach the Cruiser with heated MWD and he burns away from you in a straight line, so my guns hit perfectly. Stay at range, no webs needed.
I use Ishtar for Concious Interruption site ( Hisec only so far)
Highslot = anything( can use Nosterafu if required)
Mid = Dual Prop + dual web
Low = 1 Nanofiber, 1 DDA, 1 Reactive armor hardener, 2 EANM, 1 Med armor repairer.
Rig = Capacitor Control Circuit x 2
Drones = Ogres 2 for Drifter, Warrior 2 for frigate in when farming for agen
Ogre kill it quick with 2 web
