After completing this mission numerous times and carrying people through in the process, I have figured out exactly what you need to do to defeat this terrible mission to get the spindle and ship (I still haven't got the ship to my dismay).
1. Lvl doesn't really matter. It is easier to get a team and complete the mission effectively with those over 300 but there were teams before us who have completed this mission and got spindle before the hard raid. I do recommend to be at least Lvl 300 though because you will get a better team and have a better chance at completing the mission.
2. Get an exotic sword. This is almost a must have, and if you have a solar sword, you are golden. The second best thing to use is either dragons breath for ads or...
3. Sleeper simulant. This weapon is my personal favorite for this mission and one I almost never see others use. It can one shot a blight and you can "safely" snipe the boss at a distance. This weapon is an absolute game changer for this mission as you can take significantly more health off the boss in one magazine then any other weapon besides a sword. If you don't have the quest for sleeper, it comes out the 7th of each month ( look it up on YouTube and grab the quest). Another weapon that will be useful is...
4. Any taken weapon from the raid. The are super effective at taking out taken enemies which are in the entirety of the mission. You can use other weapons too ( raid weapons are just one of those things that help).
5. Chose your subclass wisely. For the multiple teams I have gone into at least one person was using a class that was not effective enough to defeat the boss or ads. For a warlock, you can use both arc and void classes effectively to get rid of ads. You can use sunslinger as well so your team can be saved from wipes in the parts before the timer. Titans should stick with defender class unless they are more comfortable as a sun breaker. Hunters are probably best at nightstaker ( anything but blade dancer because it is too situational).
6. Don't give up. This mission is extremely hard and you more then likely will not get it the first time. Figure out your mistakes and don't make them next time.
There are other things that I am missing, but you can mention them in the comments and I'll edit them in. If this is your first time, I recommend going on YouTube for tutorials on how to defeat the mission successfully. Thanks for your time:)
Edit:Bump for 3/20 ( black spindle day).

If I hadn't got mine for the first time today I would have thanked you so much. Very useful though!
