Looking for Exploration Setup vs Angels

Hi there!

I'm currently flying an Ishkur in Gallente Space, doing High-Sec exploration (Combat Sites only) vs Serpentis. I have Astrometric Rangefinding on V, so yeah, i can easily scan down all sites except for one odd Radar in which I'm not interested anyways. I am also able to do the Serpentis Phi-Outpost in my Ishkur, it just takes a little time to wear down the Overseer's armor.

However, i feel the urge to travel into new, unknown space (Well, not low or 0.0, don't want to invest shitloads of cash into a T3 now), I'm looking at Minmatar Space right now. However, I'm a little concerned about whether or not I will be able to fly all the combat sites there with my Ishkur. I'd probably have to drop one Drone Damage Amplifier to get my tank into the same ranges as vs Serpentis, which leaves me to the question whether or not i will have enough DPS (with Warriors) to break the hardest tanks.

I looked into the Worm, but even with 3 Drone Damage Amps i make less DPS than my Ishkur. Maybe i should note here that my missile skills are terrible. I also thought about a standard Vexor, however i don't know if it will be able to tank a 4/10 for example (and I highly doubt it).


So, i ask you, fellow explorers, what should i use in Minmatar Space to fly High Sec Combat Sites?

If you want to use drones, a gila is probably a good option. It can fit a really strong tank while putting out pretty high dps, and its pretty effective even with not many skillpoints invested. Keeping a worm around to do hideouts might be a good idea, but won't be able to handle the 4/10 or vigil, and a merlin might be a more cost effective option for that.

A good protip for doing the serpentis 4/10 with an ishkur is fitting 2x mag stab and bringing some void ammo.
