Wormholes

Hi all,

I'm looking into doing some daytripping (wh diving) from null sec, on another pilot. The aim is to do some quickish exploration for faction relic and data sites, and maybe run one or two sleeper sites.

As I understand it, faction relic sites, are unguarded by the sleepers and the perimeter sites have sleepers, would an omni tank Ishtar fit for exploration be able to handle the sleeper drones?

If the Ishtar is going to be a bit soft against the sleepers, would a Stratios be better?

The pilot going into the Wh's has shield and armour compenstions at 5 and max fitting skills too.

Thanks in advance.

Ishtar can tank easily C2 sites! That's not a problem.

If the intention is just to get access to the sleeper hacking site cans, forget it! They are not worth the time to hack them. Just stick to 0.0 hacking sites in wormholes. That's it.

If you want a better ship for C2 than Ishtar, but same approach --> Gila!

Neither the one, nor the other. --> RLML

Yes you want them! For several reasons! :)

Confirmed this week that you can solo C2 Wolf Rayet sites in a solo Atron.

I did the Sleeper Information Sanctum, because why make it easy on yourself? My advice is, prior to starting the wave with the 4 web frigates, you want to pre-load Null is all i'll say. I got through in 16% hull. Had to warp on and off grid a few times during the Outguard due to its neuts capping me out, but if it doesn't spawn you might find the ISK/hr effective.

Not efficient ISK wise: 33 minutes, 14M ISK blue poo, no nanoribbons. But it IS possible. Noobs take note!

I cbf uploading the video of it. Even at 4 x speed it's pretty boring apart from the second wave when i get down to hilarious hull percentage, but if you really, really tell me you don't believe me, I will.

If the noob loads Null for the frigates, ezpz. Do as I say, not as I do.

Besides...are we talking trial account noobs or can't fly Tengu noobs? Cause there's a lower limit to what you can do, and I just put this out there because there's not much lower than an Atron (or any frig with 3 lows).

If people try it in an Atron and fail, it costs them...3.8m ISk. Pretty sure that's a fine sacrifice.

So guys is there actually any viable minmatar battleship capable of running c3 and perhaps c4 wormholes with a wingman?
I have a friend who's using a gila right now, it's a great hull but apparently he's jealous of me sitting in a rattlesnake.
He's mainly minmatar, skilled a bit in gallente hulls because it's a part of our corp doctrine, training for a 3rd bs isn't really an option for him at the moment.
From what I've read the mach, which would be a natural step forward with his skill training isn't really all that great for wormholes because it's mainly a speed tanking ship. Ofcourse this might not be true, I don't really have any knowledge about minmatar ships.
Also with his skill points ships like sleipnir or other high skill point ships are out of the case.

The Tempest is well suited for c3-anoms with 800s, and as a MJD-hopper for c4s with 1400s (albeit two pests is far from cutting it). If you all align to the same celestial prior to microjumping, you end up being in RR-range once more.

So I'm going to answer my own question and maybe help someone who's looking for such information.
First thing I had some time to sit around in eft, modified the passive fit a little bit, on paper the tank looks better, I need to check out if a tracking speed scripted T1 link will be better than a T2 enhancer (can't be arsed to train drone sharpshooting to V atm)

This is really dirt cheap right now.
147k EHP and 259 hp/s regen in eft with fairly even resists (lowest being 76 kinetic with my skills). Can swap the thermic passive resist for a target painter for waves with low dps and lots of cruisers for better application.

Also found a fit and made something active, this fit is somethig like 100m more because of the shield booster and one T2 rig (i threw it in there because...I don't know why, you could go with all T1 or all T2 depending on your wallet I suppose)

563 sustained tank, maximum 971, with everything on cap lasts 1min25sec. For c3 sites this shouldn't be an issue because on fortification where they neut the incoming dps is low, on outpots where you have to deal with 2 battleships they don't neut.
I'll try this out if I get my hands on a cap rigged rattlesnake, can't be bothered to buy a second hull right now.

The C3 Ishtar could be removed or have an [outdated] tag added since it has the old slot layout.

Clears all c3 anomalies with ease, and only need 2nd shield repper in 3rd waves.

Can also clear some relic data:
R) Forgotten Frontier Quarantine Outpost
D) Unsecured Frontier Receiver

Can clear but super tight:
D) Unsecured Frontier Database (Overheat invul and repper last wave!!, kill frigs fast, stay alligned)

Cannot clear:
R) Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot
