I've been out exploring and came across an 8/10 angel complex, Angel Prison Detention. For anyone who has ever done this, what is the complex like as you progress deeper into it and is it soloable using a Raven with T2 equipment?
Tommorow I'll be attempting it regardless of wether I get some great advice or not. It's just nice to be prepared :)

I've done this complex twice with my corp mates.
The first stages are initialy easy rather like a level 4 & did not pose much problem for our fleet of 8 people. 2 Dominix took the agro on the initial stages and the missiles spammers Ravens etc warped in behind. We killed everything really fast by having 35-40 drones in the air at once.
The final gate where the complex is located is quite tough as there is a lot of battleships & small frigates & the tower is a web so your speed is very slow.
Don't waste time initally killing the tower as it is tough as old boots. The best tactic we found was to burn away and chew at the ships with drones, missiles & guns.
Be warned the first time we did this mission we lost 2 Domi's in the last stage as I think we were a bit complacent seeing how relatively easy the first stages were. I would suggest a minimum of 5 ships-2 Tank & 3 damage dealers. At the final objective warp them all in a once to minimise one or 2 ships getting all the agro.
You will need a lot of damage to kill the tower as it reps armor fast & hard. It can take an hour or so to kill it with the minimum of 5 battleships as it slowly bleeds into structure.
This is not a mission to do solo by the way. Good luck. |

not done this myself but this sounds like epic failure... 8 ppl??? can imagen you need more then 1 dedicated tank + 2 bs for DPS + remote rep!
agen I havent done angel 8/10 but I bet the last building stops reping if you go outside 50km (allso with drones)

Thanks for the response it sounds like I won't be attempting the final stage ony my lonesome from what you said. But I'll try the first couple of rooms just for fun. Does any decent loot come from the first few rooms or only from the final structure that needs to be popped?
O yeah I almost forgot. Do any of the rooms have scrambler frigs that you can recall? |

On the count of sounding ******ed... but who would actually be inside the prison? Maybe some high ranking faction soldiers or officers? |

Eve is a multi player game so we took multiple players into the plex. Why is that a fail-we had fun, we won the bounty & prize at the end so don't be so critical of other people having fun.

A slight mix up me thinks in the facts. We lost the 2 Domi's when we did the plex the first time as we only had 4 people & one warped out as his shields failed. This left a Raven & 2 Domi's. He won we lost
That's why we came back a second time with twice as many ships and all was fine.

mhhhh
my corp / alliance is also in a 0.0 where angel plexes are located. yesterday we did one plex Angel Fortress! me as the tank (Damnation with Armored Warefarelinks and one MAR without a Remote Repper). got resistance @ 97,5% explosive and 95% kinetic
it wasn't a big problem to tank (1st stage => 11 BS and approximately 20 cruiser / BC / frigs shot on me)... never got lower than 90% armor
try to use an amarrian t2 ship as a tank (realy high resistance on Kinetic / Explosiv) and one Large Remote Armor Repairer on a BS that runs with you! should be fine!
3 DDs should be ok for such plex imho
