Alright, so I have taken a year or so off from playing eve. Probably two years with one month on in between. So right now I am basically trying to relearn a lot of what I forgot. I am aiming to eventually get into the Eos. I can how ever get into the Proteus now, if I want to spend the money.
What I want from the Proteus:
Good armor (Not sure what is best, buffer/resists/active) Drone Boat Scanning Ganglinks.
If I remember correctly the Proteus was not held in high regard a while ago, and I am not sure if trying to make this ship is worth it, or if I can just get a T1 or a T2 that does 3/4ths of this a lot better.
So please, help the ignorant out. |

I think that for a drone boat you'll be better with an Ishtar than with a Proteus, but the choice is yours. |

If I was going for straight Drone boat that might be true but I am trying to have the three rolls rather than just the one. Unless its a complete trade off and the three rolls will only be mediocre at best. |

I take it back. The Ishtar completely outclasses the Proteus to a degree I cant ignore. |

Proteus has an immense tank and great damage but drones its not good at |

as has been stated before, the proteus is not a great drone boad, mostly due to its low bandwith. an ishtar or eos will not quite reach the proteus's massive buffer tank, they will however outperform it in damage (the ishtar is also slightly smaller and more mobile iirc). if you are just looking for a jack of all trades ship though, the proteus may be a better choice as it is relatively easy on the SP and can be set up in at least two other valid roles (brawler and cloaky ambusher).

Honestly Sounds like you Want an Eos at this point. Can do the same drone dps of the ishtar and run links. |

Drone proteus is fine. The fit is actually very nice with 3 guns, 3 utility highs, 2 omnis and more lows than the ishtar, which you can fit to limit the dps difference or provide a big armor tank. It can armor tank the maze including the torp. If it becomes necessary to move into hostile space you can refit it for covert/nullifier and likewise if you suddenly have a pressing need to move 20 jumps from a station where you can dock, to another station where you can dock, you can cargo, covert, nullifier fit it and then it can move, all on one account with a relative degree of safety.
Until an efficient way to send an ishtar out presented itself, that was in fact how I got out to my current location, and bringing it out both gave me a capable scanner, and a capable combat vessel in 1 trip, with 1 account.
Yes I have an ishtar out here now, and in the medium term, I will eventually have 2 ishtars out here, one fitted for farming anoms, one fitted for plexing, but I can't overlook that the proteus was really useful to me in a space that had no jumpbridges and no JF services at the time.
The trade off actually becomes range most of the time, and that doesn't bother me. |
