I am looking for ideas on fitting for exploration that can survive the blast damage from the new Ghost sites. I am not able right now to try it on the test server.

I am able to fly Gallente BS and below and will have the Ishtar and Proteus shortly. Looking for one I can fly in null and WH's as well. Other ships below BS in other races will be OK as well but I would need some training time.

Some questions I have are:
What is the damage type in the new sites? Is it explosive?
What is the amount of damage dealt and does it vary depending on the level?

Thanks for your input and help.

Ghost sides and the new SOE faction ships are released together for a reason.

I personally have the opinion that the SOE cruiser should be sufficient for the task overall.
When I read that you were Gallente pilot, I immediately thought that the Ishtar would be the perfect ship, actually.
Proteus seems to be a bit overkill, but why not, if you like to fly it.

Well, just test out the Ishtar and see how it goes. Test all four racial drones and see for yourself what works best for you.
I personally would see to make my own experiences, instead of imitating others.

From what I am seeing on some of the forums, the SoE ships might be a bit hard to come by or very pricey in the first few weeks and also have big target pointers on for first kills. I am not looking to grind out SoE right now either. This means one of my existing ship platforms.

Is the damage type Explosive only?

As far as I recall, there will be ghost sites for several, if not all, og the pirate factions. If that is the case, I'm guessing the damage type will match the faction.
