Have a tournament coming up and one of the missions is Highly Classified. This looks like it is going to be a very hard mission to pull off for OCF. Any tips & tricks would be great?
Why do you think it will be so hard? OCF has most of the troops need to fulfill the missions for HC. I think the only thing thats a must would be the Medtech. I think with HC you need to be flexible and try to cover a lot of bases. I like a Nexus Lt./Hacker because it covers two things for you. If you want firepower, I haven't done this myself, but Xeodrons with Samaritan Assault Hacker can be pretty cool. Ker-Nau, if you have him, covers Hacker as well as D-Charge. Here's one I threw together. 3 FO, 3 Hackers, 1 Doc/Eng, 2 D-Charges. Firepower to take out the opponents specialists.

Few reasons to go Onyx with that one! No links => you could be playing vanilla :p I'd start with Dr Worm and 2 wormettes. Then possibly a Rodok link with 2 paramedics, Kerr-Nau or Bit&Kiss, possibly the Overdron, and try to fit one Malignos or so. As for Lt, if you have enough SWC a Noctifer might be useful.
What do you mean no links? There's a 3 man core of the Nexus and Unidrons. Just because it's a sectoral doesn't mean it's got to be full of links and all maxed out. The Unidrons can be enhanced by the hacker Lt. The K1 or plasma with marksmanship L2 is fantastic! I agree though that switching out a Malignos for a missile Noctifer might help get more punch. Then add the slave drones. I just like having the redundancy for doing the mission. I like B&K but the problem with her is that the only mission she can do is Data Scan. Ker-Nau can do that and D-Charges.
A big part of Highly Classified is stopping your opponent from completing objectives. B&K are fantastic in that role.
Good point but again so is Ker-Nau and he still has the D-Charges. Either or both is good in this mission. I just like flexibility in a list, not necessarily the above, because you never know what you are going to get with this mission. Personally I don't even have some of the figs to do the in my example. Especially the Overdron.
If you don't run LI tournament, just go with 14+ or 17 orders and playing defensive.

(0 | 4) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army Just put assited fire on unidron ML or enhanced reaction on all your ikadrons and R drone with your LT. order, then add him on unidrons core to gain the deflector bonus. You have a very strong ARO team here, you don't need to go kill all things, just only go to acomplish the clasifieds with Malignos FO, Bit with datasacan or something with hacker obj, for spotligths use the Malignos for sure the same clasif. can do with FO profiles, don't risky your nexus. If you prefer to add a Q drone, only remplace 1 noctifer and add 1 some imetron. Its a very hard to win f2f this list against 3 ML + 12 pulse flash. Only for this, your oponent have the hard choise to do: mision or shooting you.
