Ships & Modules

o7

ive been rocking about doing exploring in everything from the heron to the astero, doing all the sites i could, but with the obvious draw back of not being able to do deds in the heron.

then i got a worm.

this thing cuts through 4/10s like a hot butter through a knife, with its 240dps alone from drones. but, its missing one thing, the ability to do Relic and data sites.

im using this current fit-

[Worm, Pi$s off]
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

1MN Afterburner II
Gistum C-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier
Gistum C-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier
Gistii A-Type Small Shield Booster

Light Missile Launcher II
Light Missile Launcher II
Sisters Core Probe Launcher

Small Auxiliary Thrusters I
Small Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Small Ionic Field Projector I


Hornet II x5
sisters probe blah blah missed that on the clipboard x8

while im in absolute love with the worm, like i said i wanna run data/relic sites too for bps ect ect the odd datacore too that i send to an alt and manufacture.

I've looked into the Gila,my research tells me its fairly slow ish and rather expensive...for high sec exploring with all the competition.
Vexor, is it just too slow and lacking?
i found the Astero lack luster and weak, the dps was miserable, and i found took way too long.


any ideas on what i should move onto? would like to see something that has the speed of the worm, the dps of the worm and the godlike ability of the worm. with the added bonus of a relic+data mods.. maybe even a savager for them t2 wrecks! any ideas?

its a big ask but hey. that's what the forums are for.

this is true, but one problem with high sec is speed is in my eyes the most precious resource. the 1min activation time is the difference between dat shiny loot, or just another scenario of warping in as i see the site pop off from my probe scan thingy-ma-bob.

HiSec often have stations as you for sure know and the other way is prioritising: Whatever you fell is more profitable do it first:

Anoms + DEDs your System, while scanning.
When you are doing your last combate site, drop Mobile Depot in time. As soon as you have finished the combat site, refit, scoop the Mobile depot and continue hacking?

In High-Sec data and relic sites?

Likely Carbon.

You probably will just want to ignore normal highsec data and relic sites. Limited Sleeper Caches might be worth the trouble though. You won't be bonused so you may have problems hacking everything but you could do them.

Another option is to get another account and train him in scanning, hacking and archeology. Then fly with both and share the load. I do this with an Ishtar on my main and an Astero or covops on the alt. It was rather easy for me to do since I already had one that was idle when not mining anyway.

Use a Curse for D-scan immunity in low sec. As for DED's it can handle a 6/10 when fitted correctly.

Stratios is awesome sauce scan bonused hull, do laser and drone damage for great fireworks display.
Fit rigs for tanking and you can do the 4/10's without much of a sweat.
When hs gets old go explore wormholes and bring salvagers and mobile depot and loot and salvage and make decent bank for little effort in lowclass wh's.
