Just a quick question for you all. I recently threw myself into w-space for the first time in a Heron and had quite a bit of fun. Found a pirate relic site and came away with a pretty nice 50+ mil haul. But I noticed that I scanned down a metric ton of sleeper data/relic sites and I can't exactly do anything to those in an exploration fit heron. So here's my question:

Is it viable to go scanning around in the Heron with a mobile depot and swap to a combat fit? Can a heron even HURT the things I'll find? Or, is it a better option to fly a Drake and mobile depot it as needed? Or just fly around in the Heron and ignore all that sweet sweet loot?

No a heron would be ripped apart.

your heron will be toasted. replace it with buzzard or eventual tengu . cheapest way ~drake.. but hey there was a iteron vs megathron and iteron did win so you can still give it a try but all your targets may be mining barges/industrials as heron would not live long versus t2 or t3 cruiser your target types will be very limited.

this sounds like a deep perplexing question perhaps only trinket could answer.

A Buzzard, seriously? He is asking for an advice how to do PvE in C1 and C2, not how to pvp vs T2/T3 cruisers.

Only pirate datas/relics have no NPCs. While those are really safe, sleeper datas/relics are not for you atm.

However, good luck exploring o7

Haha, thank you for that link, I never would have seen that thread. Plus it was a pretty apt analogy and I appreciate the input from everyone!
