After using my Tengu in Null for ratting and the like, I hate having to travel back to my POS to attach scan probes, Salvagers and the like. I wanted a Ship that could tank Null Sites, and be Versatile enough to prevent from having to refit.

I chose the Proteus because
It has good drone subsystems
It has its Mids used for utility
It can tank more than a Tengu
Scan Probe Bonus
It looks funny

Only problem is that I can't fit a full flight of Heavy Drones, which doesn't make sense to have a 100Mbit Drone Bandwith and enough to carry more than that. Why not put 75 or something like that? If it could fit 5 Heavy's, then it would be awesome.

Please tell me if I should change something

OK, sure thing:

You spelt salvagers wrong in your first sentence. Replace the 'e' with an 'a'.

I Forgot, the Internet.
I was talking about the fit.

Maybe a gravity capacitor upgrade rig instead of a salvage rig if probing is your thing.

I don't have too much trouble with my limited probing skills. I can't even use T2 Probe Launchers and I've been able to scan down everything that I've found. Then again I haven't played around in wormhole space too much so...

But The majority of time spent would be salvaging, not scanning. It normally takes me 10-15 minutes to scan a site, and more to complete it, so it probably wouldn't help too much.

I'm detecting that this is an excellent low/null 'Swiss Army Knife' Exploration ship.

I find sentries much better in PVE than heavies, faster and more dps. Cap life on your fit is very poor, you might run into problems with that. I'd also fit a cloak on it for safety. There's a crazy tank on that fit, so I'd swap the Aux nano pump to something else. Proteus has a such a small sig, that rat battleships miss it most of the time as long as you keep moving.

You can also upgrade the guns, if you go for a faction/meta AB or cap booster, or wear a fitting implant.

Here's an idea:

Roime's fit is quite good and sentries are probably the way to go.

I assume you are in Serpentis space given the hardeners you have chosen so the only changes I would suggest are that you drop the plate as you have plenty of tank, this should enable you to upgrade the guns to 250’s.

If you then don’t need that low slot then swap to the grav capacitor prop subsystem. It has a better align time (plus you no longer have the plate slowing you down as well) but also gives you a mid for a Drone upgrade.

Something like this.

That one is again better.

idk, this thread relighted my interest in an exploration Proteus. Would be nice to roll around without an alt, and that certainly tanks lot more than an armor Ishtar.

Rails without anything to improve tracking might be less than stellar performers, so I might go for blasters.

Only problem is I need the drones to take out stuff while I'm moving (I.E. Salvaging/Hacking), so sentries aren't the best for that.

Yeah, I explore too, and the need to move is highly dependent on the site. In "heavily defended" sites I pop the rats from near the warp-in spot, in many sites smaller drones are better. ymmv.
