Ok, so I finally get my hands on a shiny diamond tag yesterday, so I take a shot at the bonus stage.
I did check out Chepe nolon's mission stuff but it doesn't really have that much info about the bonus stage.
I figure I have the experience and know what I'm doing so I should be able to handle it. I have a Raven with a full-on faction kit, EXP/KIN resists approaching 90. Not a problem, right? Solo the first 5 gates without ever getting into danger.
Hop into the bonus stage and all those lovely sentries decide they like me. I make the stupid mistake of shooting at a sentry first. 15 billion NPC frigs descend upon me like the fists of a bunch of tiny gods. The client locks up (sound stuck, repeated over and over) I reboot and come back in a pod.
Ok, so picking at the sentries maybe wasn't a good idea. But to anyone who has soloed the bonus stage, are there distinct groups of NPCs in the pocket, or is it all one big gang thats going to go off all at once?
I figure the best bet is to tank the sentries and get out of range, then start in on the npcs.
Comments, suggestions?

Yeah, it didn't take long at all..
Mebbe 20 seconds on the reboot. Another 15-20 to get logged in again and it was already toast.
I think if I had had sufficient range I could have held it except for the crash.
So, all one group. Well I know for next time.

Good to know then. I had been planning on clearing the place with my Raven and coming back in an apoc to finish off the structures.. had almost two hours left to complete and still get the bonus so I coulda napped while waiting for the structures to die.
I figured since the retirement home is an overseer structure it must have some kinda good loot, or at least a chance to drop good loot.

I was at ~13 mill in bounties after the first 4 gates, so about 4mill more?
20k Bane torps isn't anything to sneeze at, I spend all day throwing those things at angels..
The wallet does keep info that far back as far as I know, but its a pain in the arse to get. I really wish I could export my entire wallet to a file and do some playing with it.
