hi.
i'm currently settled in 0.0 npc, and running lot of complexes (angels ones) the sharing of loot between complexes is very strange, you get much more reward doing a 7/10 that's hard but soloable with a very well tanked drake, than on 8/10 and 10/10
in order to run 8/10 and 10/10 you will probably need remote tank + dps, and most of time only get the overseer effect @80m or 120m, i've runned all of them lot of time (+ than 10) and we got almost no loot
now part of corp is saying, than they prefer rat 2h than make a risky plex of 2h for nothing, with risk to being probed by hostile etc ...
i'm not asking to get a 2b+ reward on each plex it would'nt have no sense, but something at least, to give in interest in comparison of lvl4 in hi sec ...
maybe we are very unlucky with loot ...

i agree with you mate, someone who ran 3x 10/10 and lots of 8/10 and got no faction loot drops other than tiers, plexing is pretty crap and not worth the time spent scanning.

come back with a bigger sample size. 10times is nothing. i got in a 6/10 3 times in a row over 1b+ on loot that dosnt mean it will be always.

Leaving loot aside for a moment, the harder plex's tend to give more and better bs than your going to get ratting in the same time frame by far, so even if nothing drops you've still made decent isk. Now its unfortunate that you haven't gotten any decent drops, but I'm assuming its just plain bad luck. Keep running when you find them one of these times you'll get a nice juicy drop. Also run with a buddy or two, not 12 and your margins will seem alil better.

Hi, ive done ALOT of plexing in my time. I found that its all luck. It doesnt matter if you kill the entire spawn or just blitz it. there is a serious problem with plexing, i mean one time in 3 days i got 3 6/10s and made a little over 5bil. Then ive gone 2 weeks without even finding a plex, and i do alot of scanning. I would like to see less plex in the region in return for a higher rate of loot drops. Btw, i do gurista plexs. OH that brings me to my next point. The Gurista Base is the hardest/dumbest plex there is. step 1 is go 60km to the accel gate meanwhile spawns are 150km out.(and all jamming ships) Once you make it to the 2nd room you have to go 160km + to make it spawn. At this point you can get the escalation or the dread. If you get the escalation you have to get the 2nd escalation and there is no dread at this part. For the final part, you have a chance to get a dread and a commander bs which drops pith ctype loot. BUT its only a chance the commander guy will spawn...i mean if you get to the final room you should atleast get him to spawn.

Plexes are so random. It still beats missioning and ratting IMO. There may be a week you get 15b and a month you get only the overseers tiers of those all three plexes you were able to find. I like plexes compared to missions beacause of the chance to "lotto" winst. You newer know, and still its a steady income of bountys.
But man, do blitz them. You'll still get nice bountys but the lotto is closer. Angel plexes is all soloable with a drake. Just MWD away from their range and shoot em up one by one. Our ally have been running plexes pretty actively now for about 6months and the end result is, that all other plexes but the mace are soloable in a drake. Even the mace is solo tankable in drake, if a hurricane is shooting enemies. Done all the serpentis 10/10 in a drake+vaga pair. But the angels are pretty easy with a single drake. Just fit a mwd and burn away from their range.

Dear god, is there anything a drake CAN'T do in the pve side to this game?
AE bonus room, Drake, WH class 3/4 Drake, 10/10 plexes, Drake ... I wish my poor Harbinger was anywhere close to that.

For someone who has done "ALOT of plexing" you sure are fail. First, by the time you fly the 60km in Gurista Base, the rats have all come into range. I usually am at about 5km from the accel gate when the last one dies. This would be much faster if I bothered to fit a speed mod. In the second room, you don't need to fly 160 km, you need to fly within range of the structure and shoot it. Shoot it once, 2 cruise missile batteries spawn, kill those and 3-4 jamming non-elite cruiser spawn. Kill the structure and 4 more battleships spawn plus sometimes a DG battleship. This site can escalate either when you kill the DG or when you kill the structure.
The next stage does indeed have a DG battleship spawn. In fact it quite often does. This will be there at warp in. It can escalate when you kill the DG battleship, or when you kill the last of the regular battleship rats that spawn after.
I will agree that the amount of jamming in this plex is annoying, but the rats are easy so you can afford to drop some tank to fit mods to deal with that.
You sure you've done "ALOT of plexing"?

drake can't run alone all angels complex ... from far far away,
try step 3 of angel domination fleet staging point ^^ station have 600 hp/s of shield regen and pop lots of BS and neutra towers.
last pocket of angel cartel retention (8/10) is not soloable in drake most of the dps come from the bunch of frigs and there are 2 web tower ... so try to run away.
you can try also to solo angel provincial HQ : 16 BC + 4 BS + 6 frigs scramble enjoy ...
i've never seen last step of "special force" escalation, never escalated until, but i don't think it will be possible to solo
some other are hard but possible to solo in drake (military/base/fortess are easy 7/10 is long and last pocket hurt).

Just a question: You say you got no loot? Did you shoot down the outpost if there was one? I've just run a couple plexes and everytime the loot dropped from the outpost (angels plexes)

I want to say I ran around 8 Angel Cartel Naval Shipyards in the last 3 months (upgraded systems), and I don't recall not getting decent loot from them. It seems that the megathron under frantic repair never drops anything, but as for final loot I always get a 21st and 23rd tier overseers effects + some deadspace drop. I have gotten the following drops that I can remember:
Gist X-type x-large shield booster Mach BPC + Gist x-type large shield booster (3x) mach BPC gist x-type large shield booster gist x-type 100mn AB + gist x-type Photon scattering field + gist x-type ballistic deflection field
I have probably run 5 8/10's, and only once got a good drop (Gist B-type X-large shield booster)
I don't believe I have run the 7/10, but I know some corpies that have and gotten nice drops from it.
TL;DR 7/10 and 10/10 seems to drop nice loot, but 8/10 sucks for good drops in my experience
