Those "Military Complexes" are rather dissapointing. It's a hassle to fidn them, a bigger hassle to complete them. But the reward is no where near worth the risk. On my scanning runs, all the complexes are promptly ignored, the ArcSal/Hacking sites have the best loot anyway.
You'd think that after seeing THIS the most valuable loo tin the plex was a Serpentis Diamond Tag (which when played normally would be taken away by the accell. gate). It was fun to do once, but the bounties simply don't end up and the loot is crap.

Originally by: Sally Va I simply can not believe how much CCP is dropping the ball on.... virtually everything lately.
Salvaging/Rigs (slightly 'fixed' now) Invention (nearly impossible to get the interfaces) Exploration (risk vs reward ? Anyone ?) Contracts (scams & impossible to buy anything unless you're in same region) Seamless buggy map Ship zoom-ins every jump
Was there anything else in Kali, err Revelations ? Oh yea, the new ships...
Seriously guys, get your heads out of card games and fix your goddarned ONLINE GAME.
Havent you heard? They merged with white wolf and are working on a new game... Although white wolf are a great company that doesnt deserve to be dirtied by CCP (They still havent told us if they disclosed the cheating Dev crap to white wolf or not...)
So yeah, they're happy to keep the server up and take your money, other than that things are slowing down for eve.
They also need time to play the game, bobs been in lots of fights lately

my corp have had good and bad, we have found hack sites that have spawned about 20 cruisers and have found alot of nice bits of kit in it, at the other end of the scale we have been truly fked over lost tones of ships / pods / implants the main story in this thread made me **** my self due to knowing exactly how they feel lol, but im sure for every bad story there is a good one to? although after all that i think you should be given some thing *cough*t2 bpo*cough* to make your isk back. im not gona jump on this and say ccp stop spawning your own bpos and fighting in "large pvp allainces" and start fixing these things. but i do think that wasting time on CCG when they could be spending that cash on fixing the blatent problems eve is some thing that needs addressing, yes every company needs to exspland but at the exspance of what? its first and formost product that landed it where it is today?

The complex sounds like much thrill and really a challenge for experts of this game..
The reward? Well.. a CCP screw up. I havent read the whole thread but I hope some dev is in contact with you to help you better the complex etc.. the least.. if not some reinburshment for the testing you did "for free".
about Quote: We knew full well that lvl 4 missions in 1.0 space drop centus-X large armor reps, officer mods, and billions upon billions of ISK of loot for missions that don't even compair to this lvl of difficulty.
I never got such loot in any lvl4 mission, be it in 0.5 or 1.0. Biggest I recall I got was a medium diminishing nosferatu.
The report is great.. how you guys approach the complex is very interesting to read.. but overexageration does not help.. just imho of course.. I dont say noone can get the entus-X large armor rep in a lvl4 mission I just say I have never got such a thing not even close, and Ive been playing for more than 2 years now.
Anyways, great report! And great bravery for keep trying.

A few people have been giving off a few subtle flames here about people only caring about the reward rather than the thrill of the challenge.
Satisfcation at beating a difficult plex will not pay for the ships you lost

wanting a guarenneteed farmable result i think is more like it - loot and ISK will help pay for an insured battleship
Of course mining and other avenues also help
the thrill of he challange is there finding em can be time consuming
Randomness means not farmable which is a good thing imo

I've had few problems with the probes so far, what I find annoying though is that the scanning results are chance/luck based (though skills help).
Yesterday I found another "Military Complex" but I wasn't even glad I found such a 11/10 like complex. Because there is no reason to run it. Beltratting is a lot safer and you can earn those 8mil ISK quicker there then by all the divided bounties in the plex.
If I might make a suggestion as well. Don't make the loot 1 expensive item. It's sure to be hogged by others. How about a "boss enemy". Like a NPC Racial Carrier or Dread. Make the bounty insanely high so when divided over the gang it was still worth the trouble. Or link the bountie to the number of ppl in gang. So 2 alts repping a main can't collect a billion or so in Bounties with a few hours of patience.

Clearly someone at CCP is a sadist.
Really sucks though. I'll have to remember to stay away from those in the future.

3 x Moros, 2 x Enyo : spit out frequently tech II scout drones, most NPCs focuss on the drones while you continue to decimate the nasty critters

Originally by: Commander Nikolas The story I am about to tell you is our story of finding a hidden deadspace complex using exploration. (Combat times were calculated with quick fit)
I am curious about exploration like this. Would you be willing to tell me what skills are valuable to find hidden areas? Maybe even a brief synopsis of how you undertook the mission, or was it by accident?

Edited by: WattIsWacken on 15/03/2007 01:17:38 Edited by: WattIsWacken on 15/03/2007 01:17:03 I've just finished that military Complex with a inexperienced group of players. Total ppl in gang was 5. It just took 1 wolf and a tech 1 logistic cruiser with 4 med remote reps + 4 med armor maint. bots to tank 1rst + 2nd stage. Rest was 3 noobish players with 3 mil SP each in BSs for some damage. So if you know how to tank it, this plex is easy going. It's still not worth doing it cause the reward is close to none existant.

Why are you wasting your time on hidden complexes when you could be doing what BOB does (3 out of 4 Devs recommend it!).

Originally by: SephiriotH Edited by: SephiriotH on 22/12/2006 11:44:52 I confirm the fact that there is no damn worth loot in combat exploration plexes so far. I (with the help of few corpmates) did some ANgel Bases , Angel Fortresses and Angel Military Complexes (damn thermal cruise batteries hits you for a 3k dmg every 10 seconds with thermal resist 67% alone , without NPC guards). SO far nothing worth of value was found.
The one strange thing - in one of Angel Fortress plexes we triggered an EXPEDITION event . So from RA space we went to deep LV space , following the trail of legendary battleship "Angel of Death" (as by the signs of destruction it left - should be like Dark Antimatter BSH , which was the finall boss in 10/10). EXPEDITION lasts 50 minutes or you loose it, make your choice...
We managed to get there safely and wiped out any resistance...only to be sent to another expedition - to RYC . Veritas Immortalis outpost (that time was under heavy siege)... Damn it, we went there through the gate camps , locals 200+ etc...
Found another plex , cleaned it , only to receive a message - "You are at the dead end , you have no idea where to go now..." I barely hit my laptop display with my spit for 0.01 dmg when I saw that message... and loged off. it was 2 hours before the working day started.
