Hi all,

After getting my scanning skills optimized I started working on multi-race cruiser sized ships and weapon systems.

I am at a point where I'll be able to fly all HACs and T3's - except for the Ishtar (I feel no love for drones on this character).

I am a highsec - lowsec explorer and my question really comes down to..

What to focus on next? I know optimizing core skills and getting the 4's I have left to 5 still needs to be done, but looking at the next step.. what follows T3's in the exploration world?

Kind regards

combat exploration is a lot less cut and dried because there's dozens of ships you can use to do it. Its entirely dependent on the ship you choose, the faction you're against, and the fit you're using. Once that is determined, train all the skills. You're going to want to have most rigging skills to 4, max or near max tanking skills in both armor and shield, max subsystems, relevant cruiser skills at 5, preferably hac 5 if using an ishtar or other hac, and t2 weapons of whatever you plan to use with maxed support skills. maxed navigation, targeting are good too. And at least cybernetics 4, implants are cool.
