Hi all, this is the Loki build I've been using for some time, but I was wondering if there are ways to improve it. 5/10 sites take some time to clear in this ship, but I assume that's normal.

I've been told to forgo Combat sites altogether, strap an interdiction nullifier, cloak, and just do Data/Relic sites in Null.

Personally I'd suggest swapping cap regen for reservoir.
You be able to have 7 high w/ 6 turrets but drop a mid.
20% MOAR TURRETS!!!

Also, consider swapping the ab and fuel cat for MWD and chassis opt. Moving faster synergizes better with the Loki's limited projection. It will also let you be more flexible with your rigs.

having probes and relic analyzers on your combat fit is dumb.

The reason to scrap it and go do relic/data in null is that you'll die a bit less than running around lowsec uncloaked. If you don't feel the need for a cloak, then that saves you a lot of cargo space, which reinforced my earlier point.

If you are going to roam lowsec uncloaked, at least be in your combat fit. well, your combat fit plus probes. But no analyzers.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Thanks for the feedback! This is the build I'd use if I found a Combat Site. I would just refit at a Mobile Depot. I won't be running around lowsec uncloaked =).

Thanks! =)

Do you recommend to leave the rigs as they are?
