Can the Sansha war supply complex be completed solo in a battlecruiser?

I tried clearing the Sansha war supply complex solo in a myrmidon last night, and i gave up half way through the room before the last room. I was wondering if anyone has cleared the complex using a battlecruiser?

I was using a dual rep myrmidon with damage control and 3 armor hardeners, with around 450 dps using heavy drones and Uranium ammo. I was able to kill the effotber's transit overseer i room 3, but i was barely able to tank his damage (plus 6 added battleships) and my dps was just enough to break his tank.

At the time i killed the effotber's overseer i had probably spend close to 1 hour in the complex, and decided i was not going to grind trough another +10 battleships, only to find out i didn't have the dps or tank need to kill Skomener Effotber.

Can it be done i a battlecruiser, if so which?

How the hell is a Prophecy going to be able to dish out enough damage to break the overseer when a Myrmidon struggles to do it?

Anyhow, a sentry Myrm might be able to manage but it would be a close thing. Kiting to tank works well but pushing out enough damage at kiting range becomes a major problem.

Edit: the minimum applied damage to break Skomener Effotber is 500 DPS pure EM (1200/(.3*8). Anything short of that and mathematically he won't break, period. Curator IIs on a Myrm should be able to supply that -- barely.

How about a full drone complement on the Proph, and EM missiles? That will do it with good skills.

Technically, yes. Curator IIs with 3 DDAs plus HMLs firing Mjolnir Fury with 1 BCU tops out over 500. The old 2/2/1 Gallente drone thing won't work because he resists literally twice as much therm damage as EM -- but in one of the (very) few instances where Amarr drones can play a role, 2 Praetor IIs/2 Infiltrator IIs/1 Acolyte II plus Mjolnir Fury would do the trick with the same 3 DDA 1/BCU layout.

Not sure how to get a tank on there after that, but there you go: a Prophecy can technically push out enough damage to break Skomener Effotber, barely.

Edit: especially if you've trained Amarr Drone Specialization to 4. Which I would scoff at, but I did it so I don't really have room to talk.

Some tank is needed, but i guess you can clear the complex using are more tanky setup and return with a dps setup to kill Skomener Effotber.

I should think it is possible with an Amarr BC these days. Blink
