So I've been roaming null sec doing 7s and 8/10s and have come across The Maze twice now. I'm really, really, REALLY tempted to try it in my Ishtar, but frankly the massive torp damage in the last room stops me. I'm wondering what kind of chance I would have with my active shield tank Ishtar? I do the 7s and 8s without even getting a small scratch in my tank. I could literally park in the middle of each plex with my hardeners and booster on, go the bed and wake up in the morning to finish the site. (Assuming I weren't in null and would likely get died to death.)
Thermal and Kinetic are 86% and 95%. I've read that the torp does 60k damage, so assuming I only take 5% of that I still take 3k damage, which is more than my 1500 shield. Is this accurate?
So based on that alone, doing The Maze would be suicide, unless I'm missing something.
I also have a shield rep of 326 every 3.2 seconds.
Any tips would be appreciated. |

If you are moving you will probably take 180-200 damage.
Watch out for Neuts or you might suddenly get 1-shot if your hardeners have turned of. |

There is no neuting in The Maze. Since the citadel torp change from EM to Kin damage 18 months ago the site can be completed in an active shield Ishtar because even with an LSE fitted it's still less than half the signature radius of a battleship (which about halves the incoming damage from the torps). You will need an LSE because just one will more than double your effective hp.
With T2 booster, hardeners, rigs and an LSE a 'Tar can tank almost 1k dps with about 120k effective that the torps might dent but will be recovered before the next salvo.
In the last room, you will simply not be able to move because you will be webbed (and scrammed) to Kingdom Come by about 20 frigates and 4 Stasis Towers. Don't shoot the Outpost at all until you've at least cleared most of them and got some transversal. Take plenty of light drones. Put whatever you prefer in the highs that can fit. C-Type hardeners are cheap and will of course give you even more tank if you want more margin for error
