I am trying to figure out what implants set to use. Am stuck between Low-Grade Slave, Low-Grade Snake or Low-Grade Nomad.
If there is another set that would be better I would be interested to hear.
Virtue set is not needed.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Well, what do you need? What would you want to improve on your ship. more buffer, top speed or agility? What kind of Proteus are you flying?

none of those are useful in any way shape or form for exploration.
get some +5s.

Speed would surely help a Proteus in every situation.

+5s, really? For what?

Since Proteus is going to be banned from hisec sites, probably it would be wise to wear implants you can afford to loose.

I am sitting with 100k EHP and still have room to improve that. I am using a 1600mm T2 plate and 3 buffer armor rigs.

The fact it is being banned from 3/10 & 4/10 is irreverent to the fit.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Idk, I'd personally exploit the insane active tanking potential of the Proteus and leave buffer fits for pvp. Makes the ship much more agile. Difference in handling is significant.

100K is really low for a triple rigged buffer Proteus. Do you fly with RR?

I have not upgraded to T2 rigs yet or full deadspace mods. I will try to work out a active fit and see what I can do.

With a 4 slot tank T2 armor tank and 3 trimarks you should be hitting 120k. If you're using it for exploration I don't see why you'd want to go with buffer? Maybe some, but you need some repair to do the sitees.

I still need to get gallente defensive subsystem to level 5, and a keep an active rep on the ship to do repairs when needed.

Since it's for exploration, would rather use (genos + slot 6 hardwirings) - if necessary for crazy active fit, and simple hardwirings to reduce the needed tank / increase your gank. i.E. 3% motion prediction, 3% surgical strike and a 5% hybrid damage are 50 mil, yet worth more than faction lows.

Snakes on the plane .... errrm ... Proteus.

Bad idea is bad.

First off you don't need a huge buffer tank for PVE. And if you are going to try and buffer tank plus add a rep, you are just wasting slots and grid. You likely would have to put an undersized rep on, or gimp the fit somewhere else.

Just go active and be done with it. Or better yet leave the Proteus for what it does best (PVP not PVE).

It's a rather awesome ship for all-in-one exploration.

Just an advice and do whatever you like with:

For an exploration fit do not pimp too much other thing than it's repper. Chances you get pointed at distances you can't fight back or deliver enough dps in low/null or WH are high.
It's a good exploration ship without a doubt, but rather than put double billions in your exploration ship you better have several decently fitted for the same price.

You are going to loose it anyway sooner or later, do not invest too much isk on it if you don't have support nearby.
It will take them less than 10sec to be on top of you, there are several tactics to do this and as soon as D-Scan show "Proteus" it's said "loot pinata"

EDIT: on topic-> add grid/cap/dps implants because those will be your biggest issue with

I would suggest you use +5 implants to train into a better exploration ship. Not saying the proteus isnt adaquate but its far from optimal.

the fact that using blaster boats for PVE is far from ideal is not rocket science and no secret.
