Hello everybody!



Well, can someone help me to fitting my Vexor NI for exploration in low and high sec?

Also, I'm not so rich and unafortunaly I can't fit T2 relic analyser and weapons. but I can use T2 medium/large drones and amor. I'm still training to use sentry drone.

Don't use a Navy Vexor to do exploration sites. They changed these sites to not have any NPCs anymore so you don't need any dps to complete these sites, but you need a ship with a good hacking bonus like an Imicus or Helios. If you want something cruiser sized that can hack you can get a Stratios or a Tech 3 Cruiser.

He probably wants to do combat site.

Just take stuff you need for hacking and probing and a mobile depot with you.

If it's primarily combat sites you're interested in your fit will depend heavily on the type of rats you will be facing. The VNI only has T1 resists so you have to fit quite alot of tank to run certain factions sites (such as Angels) especially for lowsec. For highsec it isn't so bad, I used to run a VNI for highsec Angel combat sites although I used sentry drones and it worked fine enough. I ran quite a low tank and I remembered it was quite dicey to kill and loot the commander rat in the 4/10 but it's definitely possible.

TL:DR If you want specific fits we need to know which pirate faction you plan to be fighting as well as if it's mostly lowsec or highsec.

I used to run a VNI for high sec DED, etc. and it's a great ship. But you want sentry drones for PvE - all you need are basic skills and use the faction sentry drones.

Eve-Uni gives you some examples that you can modify as desired.

It's more money, but a Stratios would be better for moving around cloaked if you're going into low. It also has bonuses to scanning.

You only need the t2 relic analyzer if you start doing the sleeper sites.

The Brave Newbies VNI might be of interest to you, I used it in Serpentis DED 3/4 with little issue.

Ok, thanks for everything.

But, I'm going to do hack and relic sites with my stradios and combat site with my vexor NI.


For my vexor NI in combat site is good uses the eve uni fitting?

And for my stradios? what I should fit?

I wouldn't risk a NI in low, because you will eventually get blown up by the FW people or pirates and they're a bit expensive for that level of expendability.

That said, vanilla Vexor with some ECM drones in the hold is one of my more common all-in-one exploration builds. You don't even really need guns in low. Easy to omni-tank it with some EANMs, plenty of leeway to drop a gravity rig in if you really need the bonuses to scan (you really don't outside of w-space). Add one armor explosive rig and you can take pretty much anything that'll try to jump you on the assumption you're easy in low, as well.
