Hello I have been wondering if anyone has had some good setups or combinations to complete the prison camp DED plexs I look forward to hearing them

Normally do them with a 685 DPS Tank (Sansha) 1142 DPS Nightmare + Something else (normally another friend in a BS or T3)

Ship can't tank the final room forever but thanks to the NPC agro switches you only need to for a short time.
My experience is only with Sansha sites and the kill order goes, Elite Frigs > EWAR BS > BC/CRU > BS
Then close to range on the station and kill it, will take a while with only two people (maybe 5mins)

Hope that helps.

Guristas - Pretty easy with an ishtar or tengu solo. Shoot the frigs and blast the boss in the last room. Jammers.
Angel - Last room is nasty. 4x stasis towers + web from station + 5 elite frigs that tackle and burn at you fast. I don't trust my tengu to kill the webs fast enough or facetank the whole room while tackled, so I bring in a second ship after initial aggro to help clear threats. Structure grind at the end.

Anyone else running Angel 8/10's notice that the loot at the end seems to be missing? The overseer effects are still there in the can....but all i've seen in the last 15 runs is that and some Meta 1-4 loot. Not one single deadspace mod.

it's called 'the curse of the 8/10' and I have to have to agree with you here that the loot in the angel 8/10 was really bad for me as well compared to the angel 7/10. It's not bugged in the sense that it drops nothing, I've gotten some hardeners once and corpmates got a machariel bpc from the plex. I ran the plex like 8-10 times and got hardeners once, and a gist b-type large shield booster once. All other runs were just the OPE box. 7/10 drops stuff 3/4 times for me and 1/5 runs was a machariel bpc. 10/10 has normal loot drops as well, got only 25% of the runs nothing.

I think you should report this issue. It is clearly an error.

Question related to the 8/10s. Can any of the rooms be blitzed? Specifically, there's a structure in the third pocket of the guristas and angel 8/10s that drops a key that doesn't seem to have much use anymore.

I hate to necro a thread, but I just have to point out that I feel the same way. I can confirm that the 8/10 *rarely* drops anything besides an OPE. In a sample of around 15 sites, I've had 2 Core B-Type hardeners drop once. All other DED rated sites drop consistently for me, so only the 8/10 drop rates are anomalous. I get sick of stupid people spouting the "random is random" BS. I don't even need to do a statistical breakdown (and I could) to know that 8/10 is broken in comparative terms.

TL;DR - Aside from a single faction spawn, its usually a complete waste of time.

I used to think this but then in the last 10 runs I get 4 Mach BPCs, a gist b-type XL shield booster, and a b-type boost amp. The 10 runs prior were all OPE only.

Hmm so for you it must've been a bit better then. You're the first one to tell you got good loot, best I heard was 1 mach bpc from a corpie after 5 runs. It's sad ccp doesn't have their loottables public, I would love to see how loot is calculated
