Hello,

I was messing around in eft, trying to get a travel fit Astero to move exploration loot to highsec. This is what I cooked up:

[Astero, travel]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I

Medium Shield Extender II
Medium Shield Extender II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Core Probe Launcher II, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II
Small Core Defense Field Extender II
Small Core Defense Field Extender II

I would like some feedback on it. Firstly, is there any point in getting more nanofibers or inertial stabs? Current allign time is 1.9 and from my understanding there's not much point in bettering that unless I can make it drop below 1. I also have some doubts about the invulnerability fields. I chose those mostly because I don't have the skills to fit specific shield resists and that way I get way more bang for slot.

Anything else I missed?

Cheers.

correct: 1.9 is the right align time to look for.

that said stick to astero until you can afford/fly a covert nullified t3c.
if there are many jumps in null sec a interceptor may be instead the right choice cuz... yea bubbles

Thanks for the reply. I usually use wormholes to skip the nullsec part then complete the final leg of the journey through highsec to Jita, so that's what I'm aiming for. The goal is to get a T3C eventually, but I'm a long way off right now.

You may want to adapt your fit to this.

- If you f*ck up the cloak AND someone is by chance able to lock you up, you won´t get the Adaptive Invulns fast enough online (most likely even less overheated) to make them effective.
- If you run cloaked into a smartbomb gatecamp (in case you need to travel through one or two lowsec systems) you don´t have your hardeners active while cloaked.
- You don´t need a 5% CPU implant.

You could also use CN (! important as they blow your sig less then RF ones) MSE to get a bit more EHP. They´re fairly cheap atm.

Thanks for the input, my main concern was indeed with the invulns. I'll see what I can do considering that I don't have the skill to use the specific resists (yet).

Also, I don't need a CPU implant. I'll often use wormholes to skip the nullsec part of my journey and complete the final leg through highsec. As such, I carry a probe launcher just in case something weird happens and I need to scout a new way out. I do keep the probe launcher offlined otherwise, so it fits just fine.

Cheers!
