I know everyone wants to get their hand on some SOE ships and blast the sites, but i really want to try and find some ship that does the job well, but at the same time is fearly fast, and got "safe" passage to the sites.


Obvious you are gonna warp threw quite a few systems when you are hunting for the sites, so my first tought is that i probably need a t2 frig or a cruiser.


Im just looking for options. I want to do it in Amarr and Minmatar ships! :D For the fun of it! ;D
Reason is simple, the SOE ships is overpriced, and i need to pick up gallente cruiser. (that means no ISHTAR :s)


Anyone who got GOOD suggestions for a fairly new player??

From what I've seen so far, you'd need quite a fair bit of EHP to survive the explosions in the site so you'd need at least a Battlecruiser with 40k EHP to be safe. Since you said Amarr/Minmatar you could pick any combat BC from their lineup, fit it with 40k EHP + Hacking module (only either one needed for ghost sites) + MWD + Cloak and some active tank would be good too although you could probably do without.

SoE cruiser with a DCU, EANM and 1600 plate should do. However since you ruled that out, you could always just use a Prophecy. It has almost the same bonuses as the SoE cruiser, so it should be an easy step over once you do have the skills for it.

Maller comes to mind. Armor resist bonus plus a Damage Control plus a 1600mm plate, some hardeners, and additional explosive resists (afaik the explosions in ghost sites do explosive damage). Fit a little bit like you would for pvp.
Buffer is the key, I lost two frigs tuesday, but my ishtar with an 800mm plate does quite good. Keep an eye on your overview, add the rats if you haven't yet, and try warping out once they show up. If you can't, surviving the blast and a few shots from the rats is key.

Yeah I completely forgot about the Maller, you'd probably use something like this:

[Maller, Ghost Sites]

1600mm Reinforced Steel Plates II
Damage Control II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Medium Armor Repairer II
[Empty Low Slot]

Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Data Analyzer II
Large Peroxide Capacitor Power Cell

Improved Cloaking Device II
[Empty High slot]
[Empty High slot]
[Empty High slot]
[Empty High slot]

Medium Memetic Algorithm Bank I
Medium Memetic Algorithm Bank I
[Empty Rig slot]

You can put whatever you want in the remaining slots, but that's basically the crux of it, way more than enough tank to survive spawns + explosions (assuming it's 100% explosive damage), analyzer + rigs for maximum chance to hack the containers. MWD + Cloak for travel purposes if you're using it in lowsec.

No cargo scanner = complete fail for ghost sites.

Unless you have 3 friends and you each do a can at once.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

simple Cov ops frigate...warp in cargo scan the site and pick a can to do....most likely the one with the most shiniest loot.

Tanked battlecrusier and various other high ehp ships works but getting more then 2 cans is highly improbable besides u have to consider long travels and slow ships are not the best choice and yes that includes the stratios, a decent gate camp will have plenty of time to decloak, point and blow you out of the sky(armor tanking makes u slower).

Try a cov ops....if u fail the hack you are dead but if don`t u get out with some nice loot :D
