My ganky Proteus: whatever it catches is dead.

Don't like that much the Uboat version but it's also a great boat.

And another strategic vessel question. Once subsystems are fit can you switch them out like other mods or are they permanent like rigs?

Certainly the "standard" fit, medium blaster Thorax! Not flown it for ages, but have fond memories of PLUNGING...suicide-like with blasters...POUNDING, just like any throbbing penis should....cough, cough...uhmmm. Sorry, nearly got carried away...

Swappable in stations (so not at a POS or using capital fitting services). This makes them incredibly useful for things like exploration where having one ship play many roles (and play them well at that) is immensely powerful.

Here's info on the different subsystems http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Gallente_Subsystems

The cloaking subsystem doesn't have very distinctive looks, but this Electronic subsystem is common on it: http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=File:Proteus_Friction_Extension_Processor.jpg Friction Extension Processor gives you more point range.

Here are fits and discussion about the Proteus:

Like this

Of course such ship price tag and purpose deserves you put some isk to pimp it up and make it deadlier, nasty, but also a good loot piñata if you ever get caught, whatever, the fun you get with and tears collection is just epic !

Thorax//Die-most because it is a little **** and ballz that I can load with knife-range blasters and a MWD, go full speed at my foe while screaming tribal war chants and lighting my keyboard on fire expecting to die - and always being satisfied.

Vexor.

Because it looks like the head of a mecha robot.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Shield gank thoraxes(and various thorax hulls) are ridiculously fun to fly. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction you get from hammering things with them.

Vexor. All Gallente ship designs are horrible. Only reason to fly Gallente ships: drones.

Agreed

+2 - It's what everybody wants the Thorax to be.

Also love the Celestis. With 5 midslots it's better than most people give it credit for. Very flexible ship.

Well sometimes when you're tired you throw them so strong they hit walls then do everything but what you asked, those pesky little things are quite vindictive !

Deimos, I love it but I just cant justify flying it knowing im gonna die horribly. Pure Gank and kill or be killed bit with some love im sure it would be an amazing ship. Surely someone can come up with a cheeky setup that packs a surprise please... =D
