Hi currently i find exploration to be main income source with great succes.I recently discovered nullsec and its potential with relic sites.
Ive been doing the exploration in an Astero because of the +5 extra virus strenght and because im am limited by my sp.
I died today because i was greedy and stayed my welcome,and ive been thinking of buying a stratios since i bought my second astero.
Now i dont have any clue how the astero performs in agility and alignment(entering warp).The thing is i want more cargo capacity so i stay longer in null(i use whs to get to hs->drop my stuff to nearest station and then go back to null the way i came to hs).
THe other thing i want is to be able to hack ghost sites and not get killed by the rats that spawn there i have no clue if the stratios can handle them from hs to w-space.

I have no issue traveling through nullsec,im patient and carefull(only when im not :D),know how to properly use dscan and probes.Can fit covert ops cloak.

I want to have the capacity to tank ghost sites and have enough mobility to get away from other people if the situation arises.
I have the isk to fund this i have earned 1.5 bill in the last 2 days exploring nullsec(excluding bpcs)


SO can the stratios deliver?
also my main weapon in nullsec is threatening people to spoil game of thrones s4 for them since ive read the books :D.

1.5bn from relics in two days? that's pretty good. Did you get some tower drops or something? Btw you can check bpc value here https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/blueprints/

Stratios can tank ghost sites. However, I would probably recommend refitting for tank when you encounter them rather than travel around all plated up. 1600mm plate and an explosive hardener with damage control and maybe another mod or two should be more than sufficient. Or even two explosive hardeners so you can be sure to survive two full explosions should you fail one can and decide to stick around. Overheating the explosive hardener also a good idea, as they can OH for twice as long as it takes to do a single site.

no tower drops,had 1 scanned but i ****** up the hack.
just lots of salvage spent most my time in stain so a lot armorplates,intact armor plates and other tech 2 salvage parts.
Also how about the agility and warp initiation time ?

stratios is an extremely agile cruiser, which is what determines "warp initiation time". If you like the warp itself to be fast though you should put some warp rigs on it.

However, cargobay is the only advantage a stratios has compared to a t3, and you won't run out of cargo if you periodically purge interface bits and the junk items from hacking.
