So what is best t3 exploration ship,i will use it for sleeper caches,relic and data sites, ghost sites so preferably to have something like relic,data,cargo scaner,mwd in medium slot. So what t3 do you guys use for exploration and why?

I use a Tengu for DPS projection. Biggest limitation is cargo space for changing fittings with mobile depot.

Stratios is frequently used as an alternative if you want covert cloak. It's main limitation is no nullification.

I use a Legion myself but I can imagine the Loki being quite good because of capless guns, high velocity, and plenty of lows and mids.

I travelled around with a Legion for a while, but I couldn't stand the looks of it. So I skilled into Minmatar strategic cruisers and am now slowly preparing an armor-tanked Loki.

Because, well lot's of midslots, still quite sturdy tank, my weapons now don't use caps and I really like the look of my exploration-Loki.

If the Proteus or the Legion were less ugly, I'd probably go with them. Though as long as the Loki stays the only T3 I like, it'll be my favourite.

Maybe for you, I always select my ships with looks in mind first. The rest is true too, of course.

Sentry Proteus. Massive tank, good damage projection, damage type selection, no ammo use, less affected by different forms of Ewar, lots of utility.
