8/10 Serpentis Prison Camp

I was recently probing in syndicate in order to make some ISK. It was my first time doing this in Serpentis NPC zone and after a few system I get this Serpentis Prison Camp.

I knew the final station that drop loots has a tough tank, so I re-fitted my Proteus with Blasters and get some Void to get the max out of my ship, but the station did not fall.

Later, I've read that someone multiboxing with a Vindicator and an Armageddon Navy Issue (so, let's say, 2500 DPS) needed 6 minutes to blow up the station.

My question is that since this camp does not seem to drop better loots than other 8/10 camp, and that it's a pain to farm it (and also much higher risks), is there an other Serpentis anomaly (doable solo without multiboxing) that drop like a regular 8/10 site ?

Thanks.

It does drop some nice loot. Your DPS has to be higher than what the station reps. if you can't beat that, then pass on them.

Yeah I can't beat that, that's why I'm passing on them and asking if there's some other nice Serpentis PLEX that you can do without an alt / a mate.

The 8/10 and 10/10 both have the station end boss. The 7/10 however has a BS boss you can solo kill quite easily and he drops vindi bpc's + deadspace gear.

You use to be able to do a 'logoffski' which would trick the 8/10 station to stop repping. This makes makes/made life easier. Whether or not you can still do this. (i think you can) You need two toons both able to tank warp one in, kill whatever rats u want, mainl;y frigs and cruisers, then have both toons in last room, log toon tanking room (importantly the station) off. Login once station switches aggro and hey presto

Didn't one of those plexes have it to where if you stayed 60km away, it didn't rep?

It is in 10/10.

In 8/10 the first one who enters the last room and get webbed by the station should start shooting the station and then log out and come back and the station will not rep armor anymore.

Its soloable in a reasonable amount of time with a sentry ishtar. I want to say less than 15 minutes at longest. Extra dps makes it faster. If you have a drone bay on your proteus you can probably solo it as well. There's a trick to stop its repping involving forcing it to switch targets. Works also with two ships.

The 10/10 is also soloable, and i've never had any difficulties by stopping its repping with a single ishtar by moving out to range. No special stuff required. The 8/10 is a much more dangerous site.

Is the trick you're alking about the same that was exposed before, or is it something that doesn't involve any disconection ?

Same underlying concept I assume, but I've never thought abotu using a disconnect to do it. But it would operate on the same principle. I suppose the disconnect allows you to skip traveling through the first several rooms, but I've found once you clear out all the rats, a single drone can tank the stations torpedo more than long enough to come back and travel through the plex.
