This is a first stab at an Endurance fit, I am a very casual player, so may have done n00b things:

High Power
1 x Ice Mining Laser II
1 x Improved Cloaking Device II
1 x Core Probe Launcher I

Medium Power
1 x Small Shield Extender II
1 x Small Shield Booster II
1 x 5MN Microwarpdrive
1 x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Low Power
1 x Damage Control II
1 x Warp Core Stabilizer II
1 x Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Rig Slot
2 x Small Auxiliary Thrusters I

Drones
6 x Hobgoblin II

Let the flaming begin!

This is just a first stab at an Endurance build designed for ice mining in Null and WH. I am a HighSec camper who has ventured into WH once or twice and has a burnt out Vexor to show for it :)

lose the small shield extender, replace with maybe a shield boost amp?
plug your EM resistance hole (rig?)
replace the stab, and maybe the nano, with ice mining upgrades?
personally, i would rock with ECM drones.

Endurance [Low-sec]:

Ice mining laser II
prototype cloaking device I
--

1MN afterburner II
ECM of your choice
small shield booster II
EM Ward amplifier II

Ice harvester Upgrade II
Ice harvester Upgrade II
Damage control II

Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I
Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

3x Hornet EC-300 in flight
3x Hornet EC-300 in drone bay

Using this, the endurance can warp out in 3 ticks, 4 with the afterburner activated

there is no real point in putitng there a tech 2 cloak, since the role bonus of the ship negates the reactivation delay, targeting delay and speed penalty, there is only a 10% difference in scan resolution. Plus the fact that the tech 2 need 2 times the CPU and costs a lot more.

Removing the DCU for another mining upgrade is maybe not bad, I don't think the Endurance can survive the 10 seconds cycle of the ECM anyway.

In the name of Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen : “Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.”

The Endurance allows 400 calibration points for rigs.

This means you can fit a nice Medium Ice Harvester Accelerator I for a -12% cycle bonus and still keep one of your Small Auxiliary Thrusters I or even put a T2 variation to make full use of these 400 points. :)

I haven't bought one yet, but I would try something like this:

Ice Mining Laser II
Improved Cloaking Device II
Core Probe Launcher I

1MN Afterburner II
5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
EM Ward Amplifier II
Small Shield Extender II

Ice Harvester Upgrade II x2
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Small Polycarbon Engine Houseing x2

ECM Drones

I might be proven wrong, but assuming you get tackled/caught in the belt, always mining when orbiting with your AB running will keep transversal high enough to survive a cycle or so, being able to switch to a MWD and burn out can get you a shot of getting out of point range/out of a bubble.

I've never lost a prospect with similar strategies, but I haven't tested this fit, even on SiSi yet

Except it's not a medium rig ship. Would be nice though.

Personally, for sheer speed, I'd ditch the nano for an overdrive. You get better velocity, keep you EHP, and instead loose some 40 cubic meters in the cargo bay you'll likely use for little more than a few extra probes anyways.

Do you try to fit 10MN AB or 2 MSE? looks intresting Big smile

I use ECM to break a ganker's lock and GTFO. Overheat all ECM modules when you mine as overheated ECM will increase their strength a bit.

This is my fit.

sorry if OT or to noobish, but i could not find any infos on the use of implants with the ice lasers. can I use the Yeti implants with Ice Laser or do they only work with ice harvesters ?

Prospector - Nullsec Fit
High Slots
1x Ice Mining Laser II
1x Improved Cloaking Device II
1x Small infectious scoped energy neutralizer

Mid Slots
1x 1MN monopropellant endurin afterburner
1x Iniated Multispectral ECM I
1x Medium F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender
1x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Low Slots
1x F85 Peripheral Damage System I
2x Ice Harvester Upgrade II

Rigs
2x Small low friction nozzle joints I

This will give you the ability to ice mine in nullsec and if you get pointed by a ceptor you will hopefully land a lucky jam. If you get decloaked on by a bomber or astero, you should be able to cap them out and warp off if the jams don't work.

You can.
You probably shouldn't. Those aren't cheap.

This is my 8,401 ehp (EFT) fit for ice mining in null (with rorqual boost each cycle takes about 37 secs, without about 51).

[Endurance, Endurance]
Ice Harvester Upgrade II
Ice Harvester Upgrade II
Ice Harvester Upgrade II

'Cetus' ECM Shockwave I
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
1MN Afterburner II
Medium Shield Extender II

Ice Mining Laser II
Prototype Cloaking Device I
[empty high slot]

Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I

ECM to break lock, afterburner for burning out of bubbles (both as last resort) and nozzle joints to speed up align time, however you should simply use your cloak if a neutral shows up in local (or anyone, really, if you are a ninja miner).

Thing is, getting ice in nullsec alone is problematic, to say at least, because of rats. With it's two drones, Endurance will have hard time getting rid of them or simply won't be able to. Plus frigate only WHs are not really common, not to say rare as hell, so yeah... Glare crust in low-sec would be your best bet (for solo player and without looking for those specific WHs). In that case I would recommend changing Ice Harvesters Upgrades for three 'Stoic' Core Equalizers, just to be sure.

I'd replace the Small Shield Extender with a Shield Booster instead. Also, I'd recommend you use ECM Drones.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
