Hi everyone,

I got into 0.0 exploration in sov space recently and was wondering what I could do to improve my efficiency.
Currently I'm using a Machariel to clear the sites and fit 1 Analyzer/Codebreaker and have a Noctis alt in system for salvaging the wrecks and doing the salvaging sites.

However, losing 1 mid for those exploration mods hurts my tank and the Noctis isn't of much use at all so I was trying to find a dedicated looting/salvaging/hacking/analyzing/dpsing ship to dualbox with.

This is what I came up with:
[Legion, explo]
1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Expanded Cargohold II
Expanded Cargohold II

Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Codebreaker I
Codebreaker I
Analyzer I
Analyzer I

Heavy Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency M
Small Tractor Beam I
Salvager I
Salvager I

Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
Medium Trimark Armor Pump I

Legion Defensive - Augmented Plating
Legion Electronics - Tactical Targeting Network
Legion Engineering - Capacitor Regeneration Matrix
Legion Offensive - Drone Synthesis Projector
Legion Propulsion - Chassis Optimization


Valkyrie I x5

Reasons for a Legion:
- adequate number of lows for a descent tank and cargohold (150k EHP vs Angels, 550m3 Cargo)
- lots of mids for a prop mod and analyzers/codebreakers
- enough highslots for some dps and salvagers/tractors
- pretty cheap (less than 400M)

I'm doing most of the sites with a friend that's scanning and scoutung for me so I don't really have the need for a cloak/interdiction nullifier/stabs.

Now to my question: My alt can fly Amarr only at the moment and I don't want to waste too much time skilling into this exploration role, so the only alternatives would be T1 Amarr ships or a Zealot. Can you think of any ships that would be more suited for what I'm trying to do with the Legion?

And on another note: Do you cherry-pick 0.0 exploration sites or do you run all of them to get better respawns?

Appreciate any input very much...
