I've started playing a few days ago and got really interested in drone scooping / wrecks salvaging. I've recently bought a Gnosis and was wondering what would be a good fit for a newbie interested in low-sec combat probing? My previous Heron fit was this:
[Heron, Heron] Nanofiber Internal Structure I Nanofiber Internal Structure I
Scan Rangefinding Array I 5MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive Eutectic Compact Cap Recharger Eutectic Compact Cap Recharger
Expanded Probe Launcher I Salvager I
Combat Scanner Probe I x16
Thank you in advance ^^ |

Ummm... if you are planning on going to Low-sec then I suggest you stick with the Heron.
A big, slow, beefy ship like the Gnosis can be easily pinned down and chewed apart by a half competent hunter-killer in a Frigate.
Understand; larger ships, while more powerful stat-wise, also gain more than a few weaknesses that pretty much necessitate that they be flown in groups and/or operated by a highly skilled person (character and player-wise).
What you are looking for are Covert-Ops ships and, potentially, Sisters of EVE (SoE) ships. But both of those require that you have an active subscription.
How did you Veterans start?

If so, would the previous posted Heron fitting suffice? And also, when, where and how should I use the Gnosis, after getting more experience? Thank you for your feedback |

Your fit will suffice, yes.
Don't be afraid to make modifications to it as you go.
Also... since what you would like to do falls a little outside of my expertise...
I ask that someone else take over and flesh out what options the nubbin has in the realm of probing and salvaging/hacking/analyzing.

All of Eve is a pvp area lowsec is similar to a pipeline where mostly only the fastest survive unless you intend to engage in combat which is why for scanning it is not recommended unless you plan to run anomalies. Even then it is a catch all ship then and not optimal for any role depending on how it is fit.
Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up.

With that said if you want to scan for drones and wrecks low sec is a terrible place to do it because it is a dangerous place to be. Because of the dangers involved in low very few people run missions or rat there. Because there are very few people who mission / rat in low there are not many drones to scoop or wrecks to loot / salvage. My advice if you want to scoop lost drones and salvage wrecks is to stay in high sec where there is an abundance of these things to find just remember that you cannot scan wrecks so you need to find them by scanning for the mission runners, or the MTU they drop.
In either low or high you would be better off staying with the Heron for this specific game play activity. The smaller size, greater mobility and the greater speed can help when things go wrong. Trust me please if you spend time in low sec you will get caught sooner or later and in the smaller faster ships you are more likely to get away, and when you cannot there is not as much ISK lost when the ship explodes. |

I'd suggest something like this. nano for better agility and mwd speed, co-proc to get the extra cpu, scan mod and cap recharger in the mids, with 2 sensor boosters with ECCM scripts to make it harder for other players to combat scan you, and an MWD to get around. then a probe launcher and salvagers in the high slots. And some scan strength rigs to get better hits.
[Heron, combat salvager]] Nanofiber Internal Structure II Co-Processor II
Scan Rangefinding Array I Cap Recharger II F-90 Compact Sensor Booster, ECCM Script F-90 Compact Sensor Booster, ECCM Script 5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Expanded Probe Launcher I, Sisters Combat Scanner Probe Salvager I Salvager I
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I [empty rig slot]
Hornet II x3
