Hi all,
I've been running missions and exploring for my career so far, but I would like to branch out into the DED complexes, however, I dont like the idea of bringing two ships eveywhere I go, so I'd like to have and fit a ship that can scan down the sites, and would not suffer so much from the loss of a high slot. That limits me to drone boats as far as I can tell, im open to suggestions if i'm wrong, can a drone boat be used successfully to run DED's? what sort of skills will I need? I was looking at the arbitrator and then onto the pilgrim, I prefer the hulls of these ships over the gallente boats, due to the looks of them. Would I have to train up armor tanking for these? I am caldari and trained for flying a drake in l3's with no problem. Any and all advice/fits would be greatly appreciated. |

The Stratios is all but built for what you want. Drone ship, built in scanning bonus, capable in combat, can shield or armor tank....
Some rough ideas on how to fit:
[Stratios, high sec shield strat cheap] Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer II Co-Processor II
Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I Large Shield Booster II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Drone Navigation Computer II Drone Navigation Computer II
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Core Probe Launcher II, Core Scanner Probe I
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell II Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell I
Garde II x4 Hobgoblin II x5
[Stratios, high sec shield strat spendy] Federation Navy Drone Damage Amplifier Federation Navy Drone Damage Amplifier Federation Navy Drone Damage Amplifier Imperial Navy Heat Sink Imperial Navy Heat Sink
Gistum C-Type 10MN Microwarpdrive Pithum C-Type Medium Shield Booster Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Federation Navy Drone Navigation Computer Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Optimal Range Script
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Core Probe Launcher II, Core Scanner Probe I
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell II Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell I
Hobgoblin II x5 Garde II x4
Spending more obviously gets you quite a bit more performance but last I checked those faction drone mods aren't cheap.
In any case, you should also consider the option of whatever ship you like to fly plus a mobile depot. You can fly around in a scan fit and then switch to a combat fit on the fly. There's really little need for two ships anymore (unless you need a real scout in low/null to move around a marauder or some such). |

The highest level of DED Rated site available in high security is 4/10 site.
The site will vary in difficulty depending on it's Faction type.
The same goes for unrated combat sites with Vigil being the highest level site available in high security.

Unless you go to lowsec, 4/10 is the max anyway. It won't be able to do the 1/10 or 2/10 as those gates won't let it in. 1/10 is frigate only iirc, 2/10 is frigate/destroyer. |

You could always consider training for a Sacrilege if you're already considering Amarr hulls and possibly training armour. It has a great tank/DPS and uses missiles with a spare high slot for a probe launcher. Granted it won't scan as fast as the Stratios but it will easily complete a 4/10. Also the hull is half the price of a Stratios. Just some food for thought. Peace. xxx |

I use a Sacrilege, because of it's spare high slot which I fit with a probe launcher... I use HAMS btw. |
