So these days I mostly use my proteus to do shopping trips to highsec and I totally admit I'm not the most familiar with what all the modules do in relation to each other so I pyfa'ed this together. I was using a blockade runner before but the amount of bubbles I was hitting was problematic and I never used it's cargo to capacity for the most part. Looking for any C&C that might make it align faster or changes to it to make it better.

In my build it has a 3.6 align time (and is there other stats I should be looking at? ) and I'm sure I can get this lower with implants correct ?

I'd ditch the inertia stabilizers. They jack up your sig radius a bit, and have a stacking penalty with the rigs.

needs nano for reasons said above

Ahh ok , I had those to start with but it gave me an align time of 3.9 instead of 3.6 - maybe it didn't take the stacking penalties in to account.

really.. you need the warp stabs too?

Need , probably not but they don't hurt although I can't find much else to put in there.

Nanos will give you a smaller agility bonus than stabs, so your align time will be longer. However, they will not increase your sig (and therefore decrease the time needed to lock you).

I guess which one is better depends on the absolute sig of your ship (the relationship between sig size and lock time is nonlinear) and the expected reaction time of your opponents.

Annoying thing is that despite the agility bonus the gravity capacitor sub has a faster align time, it also will give you a higher in warp speed, with the cov ops cloak do you need the interdiction nullifier?

You also have some space in the highs, perhaps a couple of med neuts or small guns for frigate defence. Fit the emergent Anlyzer sub and a probe launcher, might come in handy.

You could also consider the augmented capacitor reservoir as it will give you 5 light drones depends if you think the invuln field is worth it, I figure if you are under fire that that ehp boost makes a difference then you are already in big trouble.

Warp core stabs: throw them to junk put more stuff increasing agility
If you can hit F1:F2 with a single finger and previously click align or warp to something, with 3.6sec align and even less if you change those warp core stabs, then there's nothing that ca catch you, absolutely nothing unless a very specific and dedicated gate camp and chances this happens are close to 0.


10MN MWD : throw it away since you already have 100MN AB

Actually for traveling in null the only thing you need is the nullifier sub+cloack sub.
