i was really looking forward to the stratios for nullsec exploration and maybe some small ded's.

in reality this ship proofed to be nothing but more expensive than my cheetah set up.

I can run relic and data sights with a bigger cargo just fine but im faster and more agile with the cheetah plus in exploration the valuable stuff doesnt realy have that much m³. in serpentis space there are only 6/10 ded's and up and i defenitaly cant run those at least at the moment.

i can see this ship be a succesful high sec explorer but in highsec the payout is not high enough to justify such an expensive ship. at least thats what i have heard.

i guess if you have the isk and really really want this ship go get it but if you want the highest possible profit for a minimal investment id stick to the cov ops frigates. keep in mind this only refers to exploration because i have no experience in combat (pvp/pve).

My Fit: (Exploration>Combat)

High:

Sisters Core Probe Launcher
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
3x Dual Modulated Energy Beam

Med:

10mn Microwarpdrive
Data Analyzer I
Relic Abalyzer I
Scan Aquasition Array
Scan Pinpointing Array

Low:

Medium Armor Rep II
Damage Control II
Drone Damage Amp II
2x Energyzed Adaptive Nanomembrane

Rigs:
2x Medium Armor Trimark Pump
1x Medium Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I

Drones:

10x Warrior II
5x Valkery II
5x Ogre II
4x Bouncer II
5x Salvage drone

Well, you've heard wrong. 300m is not very expensive for highsec explorers, especially considering its the only probe-strength bonused cruiser hull that can run a 4/10.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

sure thing but i imagine those things are pretty rare (about 2.8% prabability i think) and there is probably a fierce competition to get them.

also i said my perspective is that of an data / relic explorer not a ded runner.

If you need a bonussed scanning hull for high-sec exploration it means you seriously have to work on your skills.

That being said, I think the Guristas Invulns are at about 385mil by now? Not saying you shouldn't aim for them, but they're usually hunted by the vets who tend to be faster.

Non Angel / guristas high sec is kind of a joke with 100-200mil best drops, iirc.
