So, just bought the stratios and going to start exploring wormholes. Can anyone recommend a good set of implants for this purpose? Goals is to do c1+c2 and the occational pvp.

For a sentry focused stratios. I went with AP-602, AR-802, EM-703, RP-903 and HG-1003; so scanning, EHP/Repair speed and an agility buff. The idea was to just circle the drones while they kill. If I end up trying it again I'd probably swap 6 to speed, 8 to speed or EHP and 7 I'd use to scan.

The problem with my strategy was you need to be so close to the sentries, to recall them quickly, that you never get enough speed going to help your tank. You "can" eat the damage but it isn't a good idea; I guess you could have 3-4 sets of guardes but I would want t2's for that and not the faction ones I can use. Honestly I think it would be better to hit a site, burn away from the rats, get drones on them at 20 or so km, tractor the corps/loot in and salvage it as you burn away. So you're just EWAR/Drones and speed tank. Since they don't have hardwirings for drones you're pretty much pigeon holed into armor/navigation mods for your noodle.

Oh and totally solo, you need those highslots for salvaging, tractoring, cloak and scanning. There's no point in gun hardwires imo.

I'd recommend standard learning implants and the +6 scanning hardwirings. A set of virtues, slaves or snakes would be useful too, but they're quite expensive and easily lost in your stratios ...

Mine needs a 5% grid implant, you should get one.
also, don't leave home without genos 3 and 4.

I personally don't play in WH's with pods worth more than 100 mil.

It's simply a matter of time before you pick a bad fight and end up bubbled.

Having said that, i'm a spacepoor hobo who would rather spend his time hunting than making isk, and I don't have a lot of it to throw around.

Whatever you pick, i'd say try and limit your pod to ~ 100 mil. You will lose it eventually.

He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

Do people really fly around wspace without implants? is that like, a thing now?
*shrug* all the more advantage for me i guess....

The pilots I consider as having cheap pods are around the 250mil mark.
It's super easy to not get podded in wspace PVP.

In space PVE on the other hand, there you will get podded.

I do, mostly because I solo roam a lot and on those rare occasions that I do lose a ship it's always to a blob. Generally speaking, expensive implants don't influence the outcome of a 1v10 fight, and I'd rather put that isk into another replacement ship than spend it on expensive, yet only slightly more effective mods for my current fit.
