It's called "Sansha Minefield".
So there i was deploying probes all over the place when i came up with a unknown signal.
After some probing, i warped to this entry gate.
Assembled the corp to take on this plex.
We had a tanker, ishtar, several BSs for DPS and 1 logistic to keep every1 in good shape.
We warp in, there's 2 sansha stasis tower that web up to 250km, several cruise sentry's, 32 BSs, and around 20 frigs/cruisers.
We managed to kill the entire room without a single loss.
However the gate is locked and to unlock it, either we have to get some tag or we kill 1 structure that is called "gate lock".
However when we shoot at this structure, a "mini" DDD goes off and all ship bellow BS get's insta-pop'ed.
We managed to kill it without any losses and warp to the second room.
When we get there, several cruise sentry's, and a sansha battlestation are there.
around 50 BS spawn + support and the slaughter begins.
A solid hour later, all ships are dead.
Now we shoot the sentry's 1 by 1 because we know the station will fire a DDD when we shot at it.
After all sentry's are dead, we move away from the station.
We start shooting the station and the DDD goes off.
We where 140km away and all ships bellow BS still died. Luckily the logistic survived in structure.
BS keep firing on the station and a new spawn of 20 BS comes up.
After another solid hour shooting them + the support we return to the station.
Another DDD. Station shield is boosting and armor repairing. After a few mnts, a 3rd DDD goes off. a 4rd, 5th and 6th DDD.
Several BSs where in deep armor of so many DDDs but no one else died.
Once the station died, we got a escalation. Couple jumps out.
We proceed to this new system and there's around 15 BSs and a 12m True Sansha BS right on entrance.
After this, we received a 3rd escalation.
Same as the one before. and a 4rd escalation and a 5th.
On the 5th there's a station again, and around 32BSs again + support.
A 15M True sansha spawns and dies. Loot was medium to average.
We receive the final escalation.
The provisional HQ.
This is where hell broke lose.
Instead of words, ill let pictures do the talking.

This plex boss drops centum x-type stuff.
However on this "run" we only had a true sansha tag and t1 crap.
We lost a total of 5 ishtars to the DDDs and 1 to the final boss.
The final room we killed around 110 BSs and countless cruisers.

Sweet. Jesus. I've never seen anything like that before. So what was the total ISK per person? You know, after you get the numbers back from Blue Gene

We did this plex before, this is how we knew about the DDDs.
Here's a picture from that previous run:

Gate locks always DD, surprised you didn't know that. The station DDs if a new person is attacking it, so what you need to do is get one person to start shooting, rep everyone up after the dd, get next person to start shooting, rep everyone after the dd etc till everyone is shooting. Otherwise it DDs fast and kills u (think it stops after 5 dds tho) Also the DDD are explosive damage, so if u r tanking em/therm for sanshas they are fairly horrible. Also DD are grid wide so being 140k away doesn't help. I never get an escalation when i do it, no loot whatsoever.

It's not grid wide.
On the 1st escalation to unlock the gate, the DDD have 90km range. we move to 100km and we are safe.
However the station DDD have 160km range. we had 1 ishtar on the first station DDD at 164km out and she did not get any damage. all others closer (me included) pop'ed.
But that "new ddd" for every new shooter i didnt knew.

Its easy to say. But not easy to do it. And like he had see before in others posts, there was guys that have lost almost 10x more ships than us.

We were lucky and figured out that the dds were explosive and the new shooter = dd thing first time. Luckily we used 6 domis so they all had enough buffer to not get blown up before we figured it out. Also its been a while (6 months+?)since we did it so its possible it doesn't work like that any more. The first time we did it (when explo first started) it didn't even have a name and was a gravimetric plex. And despite doing it 3 or 4 times we have never got an escalation.
As for the range of the DD when it was still hitting us over 100k away we just assumed it was whole grid

Unless youre corp makes and produces hacs youre loosing..
this is what ya do...
just before the building that causes the DDD to go off. get everyone below BS to log and when they warp off pop the building, they should be relogging back in the moment they logged. this will allow them to warp back to the part of the plex they warped out of. IF done within 2 mins.
that should help.
I used to be the main tank woth my old chr for my corp in angel complex's with 10 large armour maint bots I could tank a 10/10 full room agro.

Just a standard provincial HQ escalation. Next time do it with a tank and a remote repping bs and get more isk by only having a two way split. I can recommend a Abbadon as tank and dominix as support. Have completed it about 5 times with this combo. It does take about 6 hours from start to finish tho with only two people(or dual box for more isk).

8 t2 mega pulse , 4 cap rechargers, 1 large rep, 4 active hardeners 2/2, 1 eanm, 1 heat sink. Lvl 5 in everything. Dominix setup to run 3 remote large reps, also has its own tank. max skills for everything + drones for extra damage. Does take some skill to do when dual boxing and knowledge of all the plexs in your region, but been able to dual box every site except 10/10.
The abbadon can solo most plexs if u do it right , domi just speeds things up while giving some security.

well each one as his idea ofc.
Mine is around ishtars. i didn't find a plex yet i cant solo in this ship. This include 10/10
- less sig radius than a BS
- more top speed with AB than a BS
- can run rual rep + ab forever (no cap issues)
- sport resists from 88 to 94%
- superb DPS with drones
- full t2 fitting. no officer/faction. makes it cheaper too

Its an interesting idea, my only hesitance is the issue with buffer. Cause i do get sites where im hit by gas clouds/DDD's etc, so will the ishtar just get insta-popped or be able to hold it out ?

You don't need a large buffer when your resistances are 94% :)
I got this escalation yesterday but it sent us a little too deep into hostile space :( .. wasn't able to run it :'(

Well i know that guri plexes can kill off ishtars quite easily if not buffer tanked. They have nasty habit of dealing EM damage (from torps) + explo damage from main gun - and this main gun fire did manage to one salvo some ishtar setups.

Agreed. I meant to say ishtar is the king of Serpentis plexes :-) Would be scary flying it in a Gurista plex as I think they tend to be the hardest flavor.
