Ok my Isk reserves are running dry so I'm unfortunately I'm going to have to consider doing some PvE. Cry

As MBC have kindly relieved my alliance of ratting space, and I'd rather cut my fingers off than run missions, I thought I'd run relic sites in Null.

I can fly a Loki or a Tengu. I would appreciate and advice/fits for either of these ships for a cloaky, hard to catch data/relic site runner.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

The Loki will give you more mid slots for hacking modules. And room in the top for a cloak, probe launcher, tractor, whatever, not much damage. You can even fit cargo expanders if needed.
A fit that you wouldn't have to change out all the time.

A Tengu will give you a lot more DPS with a generic fit.

Both can be altered a lot, if you carry a mobile depot and a few fittings.
My opinion is the Tengu can do *more*. Anomallies, DED sites, etc. and tank better.
I have flown both a lot.

I've used a variation on this to make a billion here and there:

[Loki, space tourist warp fast]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Damage Control II

50MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive
Cargo Scanner II
Relic Analyzer II
Data Analyzer II
Large Shield Extender II

Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Sisters Core Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, EMP M
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, EMP M
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, EMP M
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, EMP M
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, EMP M

Medium Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer II
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing II

Loki Defensive - Adaptive Shielding
Loki Electronics - Emergent Locus Analyzer
Loki Offensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Loki Propulsion - Interdiction Nullifier
Loki Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir

No problem nuking a target of opportunity (read: covops frig) and quite effective at clearing relic sites. Data analyzer is nice to have in case you can't find relics I suppose, but the real purpose is to run the occasional sleeper cache.

This is based on a travel fit that Jester suggested that should be hard to catch. Dated, but it might give you some ideas. Note the Warp Core stabs will limit your targeting range.

If you don't need nullified, Stratios or Astero are good options for data/relic exploration.
