Hey,

I'm looking to see if anyone has any good Astero fittings that are centered on exploration in NULL/ WH space can are able to perma tank those new Sleeper data sites (preferable cap stable). I came across one last night, not knowing what it was, I went into the second room and started to hack only to notice that my Helios was taking damage pretty quickly. Luckily I was able to get my Helios out before it and my loot were cast into oblivion. It is not apparent to me that I made need to step up to an Astero in order to fulfill all of my explo needs.

Any fittings/ advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I am not sure an Astero will do it.

You mean this? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=397855&find=unread

Since their introduction I have not seen one in a WH.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

you can't tank the sleeper caches in an astero

they're designed to be untankable, you're supposed to fly around the gas clouds that are damaging you.

There are 3 sleeper data cache sites, limited, standard, and superior. The Astero can tank only the limited one with reps, and speed tank the standard one, if you do a superior one in an Astero you will just need to be able to hack well.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

superior even the easiest room (solar) with hacked solar lab , will still do small but constant growing dmg ....

Duno i would reccomend a cruiser tbh :|

You can do it in an Astero, but if you screw up on the order of things or fail a hack; then your toast if you don't get out quickly.

I would recommend a cruiser strongly.

I would drop drones rigs and modules for tank ones. Scanning rig is adviced.
OP you won't clean whole superior cache but with luck and good hacking skills it's doable in astero i think. I did standard version in it, was way faster than in cruiser.
