Hi all!

With the changes in Oddessy there will be (mostly?) no more NPC's in professional sites in high - low - null.

This means cov ops can complete the sites, however the Helios is kind a screwed in that department.
the 3 other cov ops scanning ships have 3 high slots, able to mount probe launcher, cov ops cloaker and salvager.

The Helios however is stuck with 2 high slots which removes the salvager option.

Is any change planned, or will the Helios just suck in this regard?

EDIT: or cyno for that matter

You don't need a salvager for the data/relic sites, but the 3rd high would still be nice.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Helios becomes the best covops in Odyssey for PVE due to slot layout. The extra low over Buzzard will be more valuable than high.

W/E in the low slots that floats your boat.

MAPC and an mwd is possible, completely down to personal preference.

Good thing you won't need a salvager!
