So they recently buffed Оfficеr spawns‚ here's what happened for me.
I was tired and in the mood for some no-attention jewing tonight so I fit my Rapier like this:
[Rapier, New Faction Hunter]
Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Y-T8 Оvеrcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive
Photon Scattering Field II
Photon Scattering Field II
Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II
425mm AutoCannon II‚ Hail M
425mm AutoCannon II, Hail M
Cynosural Field Generator I
Covert Оps Cloaking Dеvice II
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Hammerhead II x3
Hobgoblin II x2
I'd heard they had been buffed and so wanted cyno + carrier in fleet‚ but fit the rapier for tank/gank so I could maybe kill DB spawns without opening a cyno. This fit does 319dps overheated for 2:31 and has 41k ehp against BRs, so enough for most normal faction rats.
I set destination for bottom-left corner of Delve, intending to hit every belt in every system that wasn't packed with duders. I set dest to bottom-left of Delve:

and found Draclira on my way homе in:
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Delve/PF-KUQ
25 jumps. I hit most belts but definitely missed at least 4-5 systems due to forgetting to warp to belts and just jumping out (fucking yellow gates) or having like 15 duders in system so even if I found a good spawn I'd not wanna cyno a carrier in.
So I see with him with two other scrub rats (Archbishops) and start approaching in Rapier and undocking Archon.
Cyno goes up‚ I luckily focus on the cyno-->jump thing instead of putting Rapier DPS down or anything and the Archon pops in. My Rapier is set specifically to tank Blood Raiders but it nearly instapops. Оnе volley for all of the shields‚ the next pops the Rapier. I focus on the Archon which is fit like this:
[Archon, Оfficеr Drop Mk 1]
Damage Control II
Armor EM Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Imperial Navy Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane
Capacitor Power Relay II
Capacitor Power Relay II

I didn't put a lot of thought into this quick reconfigure and was thinking fuck I'll just 0wn him and fit more a bit of tank but nice cap recharge so I can jump out as soon as he's dead. I had the SB to hopefully save the Rapier and that's why I had the 2x CPRs as well.
So I get fighters on him (wrong dmg type, fail). I do 720 explosive dps with my skillz so pretty bad really, but I've got all three neuts on him (I think officers are immune to webs but neuts work) and he's dropping slowly but steadily. I get through 40% of his armor and he reps 35% back etc. After about 2-3 minutes, I'm approaching him and he's getting range on me. My fighters are also taking damage, not sure if it's him or the other BS, but two are nearly in armor. He edges out of range of my two T1 neuts and suddenly he's tanking me. He was at 20% structure, 60% armor and my Archon is at 85% armor and tackled. My heart begins to fucking pound and I'm actually pretty happy with with this experience, intending to die honorably to him if he starts owning me rather than self-destructing or having someone burn reinforcements.
Luckily he loses cap or something, but he starts going down again very very slowly and eventually reps back to 20% armor and 1% struct then pops. Local also had gone from 0 to 4 to 20 by the time he popped. I warp off and back to the wreck (which was like 35km from me when he popped). I now deeply regret not having a cloak or salvager. Luck favours me and I ended up yumpin back to KFIE with this loot:

Nice haul. Here's what I'll do differently next time:
[Hound, speed hunter]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

1MN MicroWarpdrive I
[empty med slot]
[empty med slot]
Cynosural Field Generator I
Covert Оps Cloaking Dеvice II

Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

Fast to bounce belts‚ cheap as hell. I dunno, I guess no midslot tank to not expand sig radius and give archon more time to jump in (officer slower to lock). It could also get alpha'd if you're not paying attention hitting belts so maybe:
[Hound, speed hunter tank]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I
Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II
Cynosural Field Generator I
Covert Оps Cloaking Dеvice II
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

Yeah probably that. Can also keep a few of these in SMA and pass them back to bomber pilot so I've at least got rescue cyno in system‚ also, bomber pilot can keep hunting after too.
