I like the cheetah for it's speed but prefer the anathema for easier fitting, having a
-covops cloak,
-a cyno,
-an expanded probe launcher,
-a microwarpdrive
-AND a point

all online is a godsend in 0.0.

Try fit that and 2 nanos on any other covops, good luck.

You can put some offline utility mods in the two free midslots.

I'd say #1 is either helios or anathema. Helios can fit a lot of hero tackle, TD, webscram while the anathema is (thanks to rockets) the deadliest covops. Or....

If you want to squeeze combat in. Afterburner is very situational - in w-space, mwd is normally way preferred for zipping away from wormholes after jumping. With a mwd, you won't get caught by a lone sabre.

I can scan down sights and clear them with 1 ship, no swaping ships, .. swap out the modules as you think would best suit your needs, these suit me fine for what I use it for (over kill in most cases, as I operate in high sec space for the current time being, at least until back from deployment)

with the new scan modules (midslot) incomeing possibly, can swap out some of the over kill defensive stuff and replace with those

my skills and this ship, put the probes at a base sensor strength of 114.8 (vs 44 base sensor strength unmodified)

Yes but it's a Tengu. It's a carebear mission running ship. I can't bring that to null. I'm going to look like a douche.

Might as well stick a T1 cloak and a probe launcher on a faction battleship for all the laughs I'll get anyway in that case.



The only reason you would wan't a Tengu is that you can ignore bubbles... which this fit can't.

Anyways, after the patch with the new modules we might actually see T3s become even better probers than Covert Ops ships because of more midslots to fit them...

The only thing that sucks with Helios is that puking design a-la golf man. For probing the 4 of them are nice but don't do anything else than probe or fit guns and bait other frigs, to clean your sites use another ship.
