yes, but i already have frigate 5, i need electronics upgrades 5


That is another skill you won't regret having.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Fly the Imicus for high sec mag sites:

[Imicus, explorer]

Core Probe Launcher I, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Salvager I

Analyser I
Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I

Damage Control II
Overdrive Injector System II

Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
[Empty Rig slot]

Hobgoblin II x3

Kite any rats. You can fit a 100mm plate or a nano instead of the overdrive.

The classic choices for all in one exploration are the Ishtar and the Pilgrim. For lower skill points the Arbitrator and Vexor have been mentioned. Since so many slots are used for utility items in these fits the common elements are drones for DPS and an armor tank. The Tengu may also be a good choice but I am not sure how well it would fare compared to an Ishtar since slots needed for DPS and tank are instead used for utility.

In any case, the smallest DED combat plexes will not allow cruisers in ... also, any of these would have no troubles with high sec mag/radar.

If you are sticking to high-sec I doubt you will need much more than that...save if you fall into a WH.


Good luck killing anything with that Blackbird - the OP seems deadset on using just one ship.



I did say that there won't be much left for guns.

To be fair you can't get a 'do all' ship without investing more time into training.

ok i need a good suggestion for a ship, and fitting that will be good for scanning, whatever ship it is i will not be able to use 2 medium slots on it and 3 high power slots on it, my current ship is a comorant


What's wrong with your Cormorant (other than it not being a bonused ship)? Seems like it gives you the necessary slot layout that you would need and still pack enough guns and shields to deal with anything that would come to get you in a Hi-Sec mag site.

Again, if you want a bonused ship that is better than the Heron, you need to go CovOps Frigate if you're sticking with Caldari.

The Heron isn't one of the best ships, mainly because of the lack of high slots and drones. The one drone you can pack in it is just not worth it. The Imicus is kind of the king of the T1 scanning frigates since it can pack three drones, which is pretty good for dealing with the frigates and destroyers that will hassle you in Hi-Sec profession exploration sites. But they you have to train Gallente.

Caldari t1 cruisers don't offer much since they prefer shields and have few utility slots. An armor tanked Rupture should work nicely though. It comes with two free slots in the highs, two more in the mids, and has relatively high dps. The fit might look like this:

3 autocannons
salvager
tractor
probe launcher

10mn AB
analyzer
codebreaker

gyro
medium rep
armor resist tank

armor or scanning rigs


Should be able to push about 250 dps with drones and low SP.
