Details

Warped in 78km from the Habitation Module - Personnel Quarters (container icon). As I moved toward the container 26 drones appeared, 10 left, 16 right. Transferred the personnel to my ship's cargo hold without being attacked by the drones. At this point you can warp back to the station and complete the mission. I was in a cruiser so I decided to destroy all the drones and did so without taking much damage (not one red tick on shields). Depending on how you attack them this may vary, but I got a group of 11, then 5, then 10. -- Max Thunderbird
