Ship(s) for 10/10 drone complex

I am currently in drone space and barely being able to finish Drone Horde sites and from time to time I get a 10/10 escalation. However, I am pretty sure I won't be able to solo that as I am, again, barely being able to solo Drone Hordes in my Navy Raven.

So my question is, what kind of ships do I need to do a 10/10 drone escalation site? I believe it is one of these: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Outgrowth_Rogue_Drone_Hive

I have access to a second account but I need to know what to train for. I prefer Caldari Battleships but flexible if there are no BS (or Maruaders) suitable for one.

Any suggestions?

I don't live in drone space and have no experience in escalations there, but by the looks at eve wiki, max you can escalate in drone regions is 5/10 (https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/DED_Complex_List). I also never heard anyone mentioning of 10/10 in drone regions and idk what they would drop (lots of t2 salvage like other drone complexes i believe).

Yeah the wiki is out of date, it can escalate to a 10/10, which has the same name as the 5/10 (which is insanely annoying btw). As to what can solo it? Not sure. Tried it in my domi and got through most of it, didn't bother going into the last room since i knew I'd die in it Lol And yeah I'm pretty sure it just drops a boat load of t2 salvage. At least that's what I got from the other commanders inside the plex.

Yes, that link is outdated. Sorry about that.

However it is a 10/10 complex and was wondering how I can duo it. Faction BS with logistic alt? Or maybe two faction BS? Or Faction BS and a command ship with fleet boosting?

What would be the most effective way?

marauder?

Domination Nephilim - Angel Cartel

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

Solo Marauder? Cause I can duo with an alt. Not sure if it would be a Warlink booster alt, another combat ship or a command ship.

well a vargur can solo a blood raider 10/10 so i would imagine it can solo anything else

Here's an idea from an discussion of the same plex from some time ago :

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2898187#post2898187

"For neuting sleepers I used to run in with an indy first and drop a jetcan with some cap 800s in it, and then warp to that and orbit it with the Domi. I think the towers you have will reach to 250 so you won't be outside the neut, you'll just get longer without
needing to rep (so can capacitor tank the neuts instead of running the rep whilst you kill the towers)."

This implies the use of a sniping sentry drone Domi fit, while tanking the neuting with cap boosters, collected from the can dropped by the indy. And then have some cap booster to spare for repping

I would try anything that Tauranon suggests after seeing him ninja mining C5 gas sites without provoking sleepers, and get away with almost all gas from the clouds, was a limit on how much he could store in the indy that he warped in when finished:-)

as a drone space resident, i would suggest a marauder to the escalation you can do them in things like rattlesnakes or even a guy in corp who uses 3x RR domi's but if your struggling to finish a horde you would be better suited to fly out get the BM and sell it for 100m isk its a nice little boost to your income and you wont lose a ship doing it.

i had to warp my Rattle out of a 10/10 in the final room because the strain mother is pretty annoying....

but your probably best to sell it... BM create contract in closest station and sell the BM to your alliance post it in local and alliance should sell pretty quickly.

I personally used a tengu with this setup http://postimg.org/image/dxjo86m65/ able to solo pocket and not a expensive fit after a while and used to get used to it start used a passive tank rattlesnake with drones guard normally. But at begining and since my alt didnt had much skill points just used him with a dominix to dps the mother.

Just a note you need +30km range since the neutralizing towers specially on last poked have 30km range if you get in close of 30km you probably dead. Since on last pocket you tanking all stuff including the mothers.

Hope i helped.

edit: you can change the fit for a 100mn afterburner if you want. but only stable with 1 shield booster on.

The Paladin used to do it very well. The Paladin is pretty much the perfect ship for shooting Rogue Drones.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

It seems that the paladin is the right answer...

I'll continue to think about a rith tech3 fit for the 10/10 !
