Hello,

Can someone please explain to me in layman's terms what exactly is the difference between :

Adaptive Nano Plating and Adaptive Nano Membrane?

(aside from naming and the small difference in resist values.)

Thanks!

is it a mission or pvp fit? In mission situations most people choose fitting some kind of repair module because they need to be able to tank incoming damage for a longer period of time. Most pvp engagements last much shorter and many choose for a buffer tank of some sorts. In the end however, it depends on what kind of engagements you want your ship to be part of.

Thanks Y'all!
Much appreciated!

Who says this community is bad? :P

Not quite true these days, active tanks seem to be far more popular, especially in frigate pvp. I'd rather dump the plate in favour of another damagemod and larger guns myself, but this depends on which ship you're flying. Plates work wonders on certain ships.

For context the fit is supposed to be used for "stay alive long enough to GTFO" or "stay alive long enough for drones to tear them a new one or make them change their mind".

What ship are you aiming for?

If that is your desired pvp tactic I would recommend you fly the Vengeance or Sacrilege.

As someone said: "The Vengeance and the Sacrilege hit like a small girl, but have the staying power of an ex-wife."

Well...here she is.
Supposedly to be used for some sneaky Low-Sec exploration. Currently doing it but I want t be safer.
Don't have the skills or isks to fly a Stratios yet so this is the best I could come up with.
With the fit below she gets around 11000 EHP with 74%+ all around resists

And also it might be worth it dropping one EANM for a Drone Damage Amplifier. Not sure how much EHP you would lose though..

Arround 250-300 EHP ( 7% resists)

I'd say go for it then, 23% bonus dps to your drone damage might just make them change their minds. Also forgot, for escaping you'd do best if you ditched the Acolytes and loaded some ECM drones.

An alternative to be safer running lowsec data/relic is sticking to a T1 exploration frigate and dropping off loot in a nearby station (or in a secure container in a safespot) after every site you run.

That way you will be putting 10-15 Mil on the line at any given time instead of the 100+ Mil of the Astero hull + potentially 10s of Mil of loot.

Astero is surely more cool though :)

Aside of that it is known that Nami + Astero = Love (and I'm not talking about wham-bam-thank-you-ma'm love but more on the likes of candles and ear-biting)

Candles and ear-biting should never be discouraged, go for it!

My (tiny) pirate conscience obliges me to just add that lowsec scoundrels will put a bit more effort into hunting/killing an Astero than a Heron.
