Any thoughts on this Astero fitting?

Dear fellow capsuleers,

I have been playing Eve Online for almost 3 weeks and did some exploration with an Imicus in dangerous areas. There I had my first PvP experience. Two pilots ganked me and I managed to escape. My Imicus is extremely fast, so I went out of range and warped away. The speed reduction they put on my ship didn't have enough effect.

Soon I will fly an Astero, because of the bonuses it has. Based on information from different sources I came up with the fitting below. I had the following in mind.
- Fast travel comes in handy at exploration sites
- I want to be able to fly away fast when in trouble
- Enough tank until I can warp away
- Enough scanning and hacking
- Little training for fitting the modules; I can fly with this fitting tomorrow

Are there any exploring pilots among you who can advice me on this fitting?

That's a fine starter fit EXCEPT that you do not under any circumstances want to undock an Astero without a covert ops cloak. Very few ships in the game can fit one and you'd be insane not to put one on a ship that can (except for a battle Helios). I know it's a bit more training but it's absolutely worth it to be able to warp cloaked.

Thank you Zhilia Mann. I will train the extra 5 days for Cloaking IV. Cool
