Hey Guys,
Trying to make a Lowsec exploration Phantasm. I have a travel fit, what I need help with is the tanking slots. I cannot seem to find a reasonable layout with both Beams and a tank. Anyone have suggestions?

Unless things have changed, Phantasm is best, shield tanked.

The ship got quite a weak capacitor but mitigates a lot of incoming damage with it's speed. Just fooling around with a pve-fit, getting 70% stable without LSB, 1m15s with LSB running, 560dps at 19+17k, 420 at 35+17 and ultimately 140dps tanked against EM/Therm with passive, 160 with active hardeners.

I'm really not convinced it's the best pve-ship you could use. I mean it should be good if the damage comes from BS, since you could ignore that completely leaving you with only frigs/dessis and cruisers to tank - so it might work.

Link to the fit. I'd do passive hardeners to have more breathing room for boosting cap-wise. Without guns firing, you can boost for some 3 minutes straight, like when you messed up and now just try pulling range from the initial warp-in.

I have found, so far, for highsec 3/10 and 4/10 blitzing it works quite well. My Legion can no longer enter these and Amarr's high end PVE Medium class ships are all kinda bad imo. Ideally I'd use a drake or something similar but I do not have the proper skills so I am trying to make due :)

Why a Phantasm?
