Wondering whether to skill for the Cerberus or Ishtar.. I want to start running exploration sites to add some more variety, rather than grinding level 4s.. Curious to what you all reckon is the better ship to use for ISK efficiency?

Reckon that depends on what your skills are, and how you like to play. Both handle 4/10s easily. So it's pretty much a personal choice of drones or missiles.

If all you are looking for is easy ISK, then you might want to consider getting a shiny Battleship and joining the folks that do Incursions. Probably the best ISK/hour in hi-sec.

Agree. Incursions are awesome income. Go with ISN, despite how they are portraid, they are a cool bunch!

if you're in hisec, it doesn't matter what you use. Everywhere else, the ishtar is better. But it requires much more SP than the cerb.

Never forget.

Generally drone boats are better as an exploration ship, unless you using a T3 and refit. You wull need a probe, and a tractor is nice, going out of hs will require a cloak. The soe ships are pretty decent. The ishtar is great and you can even get by with a navy vexor till you get there. The gila is nice too, but its nice to be armor tanked so you can use your mids for utility.
