What is a good ship, including setup/fitting, for doing both the scanning and the completion of combat spawns (as in, using the same ship for both tasks) in 0.0?
Thanks! :) _____________________________________________________

I'm honestly not sure there is one. Scanning - at least currently, may drastically change with the Apocrypha update in a week - works best in a frigate that has bonuses for it. The astrometrics T1 frigate and the T2 version Covert Ops frigate just don't work as fighting ships.
Nothing prevents you from fitting a scan probe launcher in one of your high slots on a combat ship. However, it is 220 teraflops of CPU taken up by the launcher, a high slot taken up by the launcher instead of a weapon/cloaking device/utility module, and cargo space taken up by probes. In addition, it's going to take a very long time to scan them down, just because (currently) all the ship bonuses are geared to reducing scan time; base scan time is 10 minutes, by the way.
Supposedly scan time is going way down with the update to around 10 seconds base, I think, but the bonuses are mostly changing to probe strength increases, so a combat ship with a probe launcher is still going to be at a disadvantage finding sites as opposed to a Covert Ops.
If I absolutely had to do it, I think I'd go with a battlecruiser, using a standard fit, just replacing one of your 7 weapons with a scan probe launcher. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

Originally by: CCP Nozh Where do tech 3 ships fit in?The goal has always been to have them considerably cheap, around the price of tech 2 cruisers.
