Hi,

I've read before that this plex, "Centus Assembly T.P." (Sansha 10/10, Linky) Is soloable in a few certain ships, such as a well fitted tengu or paladin.

However, I don't have the skills for either of these ships, so I was wondering if anyone experienced could be able to say what other ships/fits can accomplish this plex solo.

I mainly use an Ishtar for plexing, so any info on an Ishtar running this plex solo would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I believe that your ishtar doesn't have the DPS to solo this atleast the final room and the DPS from the citadels is pretty nasty regardless so the opening volley will hit almost 100% - your resistance, so say you're resist are 70% you can expect about 12,000 HP or atleast 10,000 HP I'm guessing Ishtars are armor tanked mostly so you're shields are going right down and hopefully your armor resist can deal with it cause I've heard people get one shot dropped by these.

You can do everything except for that bit given you put some time into it. My gank tengu for running 10/10 has one LSE to complement the active tank mids. Rest of tank is heavily resist focused, based on the end boss damage profile.

The same should apply to ishtar. Shield tank with added buffer and resists to survive boss, afterburner speed tank. It sure sounds like a hard fit to pull off; a Gila might serve you better.

You will have a hard time breaking "Station Ultima" with 1 ship worth of dps unless you use something crazy. I was barely able to do it with a rattlesnake pupming out 900+ dps, same with an artillery Machariel + sentry drones.

The 1st 4 rooms you can solo, just takes time. I use a micro Jump Drive fit ship. I land, point in the direction I just came from (so I'm jumping away from the rats), MJD out and let the npcs impale themselves on my dps lol. In the last room I do exactly that, kill the station, warp off (REMEMBER TO BM THE LOOT CAN LOL, I forgot once, but only once), wait for the site to despawn, go back and get my lott and done. Much easier with 2 MJDing battleships though.

I'm not sure you can do a sansha 10/10 in an ishtar. The problem with armorfitted ones is that they don't have the buffer you want and passive shield fit sucks because of the em hole. Serpentis 10/10 is easy with them cause you can get 1500+ dps easy on a full passive fit. I once did the angel 10/10 with some guy who found it in his ishtar, I told him shieldfit was better but he insisted on armor, so when we got to the final room all was good untill the overseer switched to his ship and he just instapopped. The same will probably happen in the sansha one with an armorfit. If you don't have good skills/ships/modules just get a friend and something like dual dominix or dual rattlesnakes or get 2 friends in logi and you can use T1 battlecruiser for dps.

I killed the station ultima with my nightmare solo using standard L tachyons at 60km, not even my max dps so roughly 800dps and didn't use my drones. Was quite easy. It doesn't rep that much.

I find it odd nobody has mentioned the web that station ultima places on you. That's the main reason the station does so much damage... it slows you so much that the torp hits you for a lot of damage. If you Micro Jump Drive away it bugs out the web and you can easily tank the ultima station torps while clearing the room of npcs.

So use a long range battleship with 850ish dps, em thermal damage and mjd. The 10/10 is easier than the 8/10. Also fyi the Ultima Station is the ONLY overseer structure or canister that drops any tiers/faction mods. Don't waste your time on the other overseers, they tank 3x harder than station ultima anyway and all you will find is acceleration gate keys which are worthless/useless now.
