Everyone seems to be posting fits with buffer tanks but you really shouldn't buffer tank your Astero, because of your low dps anything that has an active tank can tank/kill your drones and then chip away at your buffer till you die. Also I wouldn't use a probe launcher on a PvP Astero unless you specifically plan on killing people in Relic/Data/DED sites but relic/data guys are usually warp core stabbed and in low level DEDs you have to worry about rats/gate keys etc. I don't fly Asteros but many of my corpmates fly a fit similar to this:

[Astero, PvP]

Coreli A-Type Small Armor Repairer
Coreli A-Type Small Armor Repairer
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Damage Control II

Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Small Capacitor Booster II, Navy Cap Booster 400

Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II

Small Ancillary Current Router I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I

You can pimp/unpimp the fit as you see fit, I went for around the same cost of the hull in modules in the stats I thought mattered most, with this fit you can take on most frigs 1 on 1 and they won't be able to break you and you can slowly chip away their buffer or break their active tank with your neut. Be sure to watch your drones and keep a flight of ECM drones if things go south.

Astero is amazingly good at PVP because you can pick your fights. I've killed 101 ships so far with the Astero and only lost 3 of my own. 2 losses were in the first week when I was trying to figure out how to use it and the 3rd was due to my own stupidity and forgetting that I had ECM drones.

I am stealing your fit. Shocked

Never forget.

Dual rep cap boosted Astero is funny as hell (in a not so funny way if it scrams you). Fun to fly as well because of the number of active mods on such a small ship.
