Hello,

I am currently getting the skill to fly an ishtar (finaly) and since gal cruiser V can get you to the proteus i thought hey why not ?

So i'm just here to ask if it's possible to solo C3 anom/or scanned combat sites (or other sigs) with a proteus (rail if possible ? i can do neut if required).

I googled a lot and everybody keep saying go tengu and stfu. It makes me sad ...

Proteus can not into C3 solo (no alt/no scout/just one solo proteus with 11m sp and a mobile depot if required) ?

Ty by advance for answers !

Edit : no more shiets.

Shhhh.
Yes. Yes OP it can run C3 sites amazingly... Twisted

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

If you want to fly a a proteus in a wormhole go ahead, it snot the most optimal but if you have fun and are making isk, I think thats good enough.

Personally ive never flown a ishtar as a gunboat, I used it as a drone boat, two geckos work decently well pushing out just about 600 dps with three faction DDA's

This is what I ran missions in for a bit of a while probably with a bit more faction but you get the rough idea, You'd probably need to add more tank and change some things around to suit wormholes however.

Ive used the proteus as a bit of an exploration boat in null / WH's and imo one of the biggest drawbacks is the low cargo capacity, a depot and one subsystem take up a good amount of cargo space so fitting extra drones was a bit of a problem, this problem probably wont be as big on using the proteus as a gunboat tho.

One thing in a C3 to conside ris being able to hit the frigates that neut/web you and fly relatively fast, using the subsystem that gives 25 Bandwidth would probably make this fairly easy tho.

tl;dr The choice is up to you, do what you have fun with, prepare for the worst and expect the best. Using the proteus solo in a C3 isnt the most optimal but it definitely has its advantages and its pretty fun.

Imagine getting a 300k € ferrari, qnd then using it to dispense manure over fields and drag a plow. That's what a proteus doing sites is.

In general to answer the question (even though i've never flown one), yes you can do C3 sites in a proteus, but since there is only one adequate answer in this threat, with a fit, that seems to work, this would be the thing + tank that you probably need for "every c3 that exists".

Since you have to be aware of different possible effects, pulsars might be a bit of a problem, but the posted proteus fit, could work out. Magnetars will give a huge buff and cataclysmic will be horror. Did not cover the other ones ... but you get the idea.

Drones could be a problem as well, as sleepers love to go for them, unless you trick the sleepers a bit. So Hobgoblins and Hammerheads will be eaten sometimes before you can take them back, since sleepers let you attack, get on distance and then start webbing and destroying them, which lets them get destroyed before you can pull them back.

Now comes the important thing:

You wanna go for anoms ... yes... will work for every single one.

Are you trying to go for relic/data sites, then i would say, no you cannot take a proteus all the time, since you might die in some of them, unless you manage to warp out or be fast in negating incoming damage.
Forgotten Frontier Quarantine Outpost is probably not big deal, since you have max. 700 dps to mange for a short time.
Unsecured Frontier Database and Unsecured Frontier Receiver will bring up to 1000 dps, even though you have 3 waves, shooting the BS in the 2nd wave in the 2nd named data-site will instantly spawn the last wave and combine both dps types. And here you need DPS yourself, to break their remote rep capabilities.

But i kinda doubt the proteus can handle Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot sites, as they bring up 1400 dps, have 3x BS neut over 30km range and kinda hit hard. And the frigates will scram you. So in case they neuted you out and you did not manage to kill the frigates ... well proteus will be lost.

But at the end it's all about some experience in those sites. The more you realize how they hit, how you can trick them, how good you can negate the incoming damage by tanking by speed, you will know if a proteus can handle it or not.

I've seen many ships that died in a fire in a C3, where other people said "you can def do it with that" ... so, dependent on your wallet and your skills, either go in, try it out with a less dangerous C3 anom and see how a proteus can handle it ... or do it in another smaller ship first. No idea with a scythe fleet issue or VNI could do it ... i saw Vexors struggeling in C2's ... and they are areally easy.

WOW, never seen wh people worried about losing stuff.. odd.
Stick with the old saying, fly what you can afford to lose.. and as long as you do this and are having fun, who cares.
Personally I wouldn't use a proteus because of the poor damage application at range.

Now I have been making money in c3s with a Proteus for a long time. I lost plenty of them but I just love the ship and the occasional day trip. So while I would not recommend it to anyone else - here is what I use, add or reduce bling as you see fit. I focus mostly on Fortification Frontier Strongholds - easy isk in 5-10 minutes. You can other anomalies - its just a pain. Btw works better with rails but I love blasters so **** rails. And here is one of my many losses. Think whether you really want to try it. I am having fun with it though.

I think my favorite part is taking augmented drones into a WH pve site.
