Put *something* in those empty high slots.
Can you run remote reps up there?

Only enough grid for small remote reps, unfortunately. 73 grid remaining, enough for small guns I guess?

Buffer Prophecy are monsters with remote reps from Guardians. If you don't have remote reps you're gonna need at least a medium ancillary armor booster in a low slot, lose the 3rd ENAM. You also gonna need an independent tackler cause the prophecy is to slow to catch and hold anything down unless it's a BS, so I'd replace the long point for another web or cap booster. And use 800's if you're using a medium cap booster or you can do dual small cap boosters and use 400's. If you are in a pair then 2 medium neuts are enough.

There are in my opinion three strong fitting options you want to consider when fitting duo prophecies for null sec:

- RR, due to the drones being the main DPS and the bonus to resists.
- MJD, both for defensive and offensive use
- Warp speed rigs to outrun or surprise cruisers

If i were you, i'll consider using at least 2 of these options, RR being the most obvious choice. Plate + ancillary rep + RR could work too. Consider fitting for resists rather than full buffer (specific hardeners / membranes, resist rigs).

As for drones: you have 225m3 and 75 bandwidth, i would have 2 max DPS sets - no geckos, so 2 heavies 2 meds and one small (better than 5 meds in terms of DPS) and possibly one set of 3 short/mid range sentries, which could be replaced by one set of small and one of mediums. Using medium armor bots defeat the purpose of DPSing with your drones.
Try varying damage types, for instance, set 1: 2x Ogre / 2x Hammerhead / 1x Hobgoblin, set 2: 2x Praetors / 2x Infiltrators / 1x Acolyte.

Small A-type RR is quite effective and very affordable. Two small RR rep a decent amount (like 70hp/s) and cost you around 5mil each.

There are whole navy vexor gangs building on those potent little mods. And get a reactive armor hardener (RAH) instead of your third EANM.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I added two small A-type RR to the highs, and switched an EANM out for a reactive armor hardener. No more medium maint bots either.

Regarding max DPS drone sets, would heavy drones even work against frigate targets? I'm not sure how good their tracking is.

If you can manage to get the web(s) on them then they will work fine. If not just pull them and release small drones.

By the way, how was your experience with dual arbitrators concept? You've been asking same questuons about it. Exactly the same. You and friend decided... Looks like it wasn't that good and you switched to bigger hull with hope of better tank would give you more chances. But you still sounds unexperienced.

We took a break from the game for a while soon after that idea. When we came back, I was looking at ships and saw the prophecy is a similar ship to the arbitrator, but with better survivability. We decided to try this instead!

So, the results were inconclusive. We didn't end up doing that much with the arbitrators, honestly.
