Missions & Complexes

Today I finished this solo for my first time, and I just want to help anyone else out there who might be looking at their probe results wondering if they can do it. This complex is not hard, but if you are doing it solo it requires a ridiculous amount of time and ammo. It took me about 4 hours to clear all 4 rooms, and in the last room I just killed the overseer and left. (dropped a mach bp and domi L-AC).

The ship I used was a Loki, since this place has no scramming, it is not dangerous as long as you are aligned to get out until you take down all the web stasis towers, for this your going to need drones. 5 T1's will work, but bring 10 cause they're disposable and will die. I am trained level 5 for all affecting skills on my ship and modules and I was able to do this no problem, I only had to warp out once in the first room until I was able to get all the stasis towers down. Once the towers are down, just throw your afterburner on and stay orbiting, never stop and nothing will get through or nearly enough to even concern you. I have read a lot of these threads about people concerned about the final overseer, the antimatter charger thing... Well each hit was pulling about 25% off my shields, and my setup can 100% restore my shields in 48 seconds. So this was no issue for me and I also learned that you can actually speed tank him. He actually didn't hit me until I started getting under 30km and I lowered my transversal, even at 2k orbit around with AB on he wasn't scratching me, although all the other battleships in the room are at optimal and they were slowly beginning to break my tank even as I was zipping around at 6-700m/s. I was able to kill the overseer without my shields dropping below 40% . (If you are uncomfortable with your shields taking that much damage, just clear some of the other ships out before you touch the overseer). Just remember to pay attention to your velocity and do not stop moving until a sufficient amount of ships are gone. The only thing that will get you killed in this plex is getting webbed and panicking because you aren't aligned and by then don't have enough time to.

Whether this is worth soloing or not is up to the person I would say. I probably pulled about 1.5bil total out of this counting bounties and drops... But I also went through 14k of Hail, which gets pricey. Also, in the 3rd and 4th room, there is 2 structures that you need to destroy in order to get some nice overseer loot, but I was not able to come close to breaking the tank on it, my Loki puts out 574dps without drones, I logged an alt to try and double team it combined was about 800 dps and I still couldn't break past 70%. So I skipped both structures.. I would assume this is to encourage players to not solo the plex by requiring ridiculous dps.

This isn't a super ship either, its mostly T2 and can obviously be further improved if you got the cash.

Also, I used no implants for this. Obviously the setup can be improved with better modules and implants, but this will give people an idea of starting point.

Cheers hope this helps somebody.

this must of taken a good 2 or so hours to complete with a loki.

Wow, did not even read the first paragraph, nice... He says how long it took there.
@op
Gj, being tenacious can pay off it looks like:p

yeah 45 mins is about right even for a solo mach

Holy adolescence, Batman!

Holy shitsnacks. 4 hours in one plex that might not drop anything :>

Thanks for the writeup.

All hail the guys who don't fly tengu :)

Can anyone recommend some different ships with fits for doing this site solo ?

So far:
Loki
Tengu
