Janey T'gahl Caldari Provisions Caldari State 7	Posted - 2016.01.10 16:58:24 - [1] - Quote So I'm getting bored with level 4 missions in highsec and decided I wanted to try out some wormholes. I've bought a stratios but I can't seem to decide how to fit it for wormhole exploration. I'm thinking of running data/relic sites, and want to be able to defend myself. I haven't run any data/relic sites yet so I'm really unsure on how to fit it. I am well aware that I will lose the ship, but that's how you learn, right.

Btw youmWILL lose ships exploring in wh, just accept it and choose your hull based on what you are willing to lose, nothing wrong with T2 explo frigs either as they are pretty much disposable. But to your original question, mids for hacking modules and prop mod, lows for armor tank, highs for cloak and neuts. Add drones for flavour

Add drones for flavour Thank you for your reply :) I just recently got back and was going to try out a fit before I quit 8 months ago. This is what was fitted: High: Medium Compact Gremlin Energy Neutralizer Medium Compact Gremlin Energy Neutralizer Medium Compact Gremlin Energy Neutralizer Covert Ops Cloaking Device II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Mid: Federation Navy 10MN Afterburner Warp Scrambler II Balmer Series Tracking Disruptor I Small Capacitor Booster II Stasis Webifier II As you can see, the mids are ganky, two of them should be exchanged for data/relic modules, but what about the third? low: Drone Damage Amplifier II Reactive Armor Hardener 1600mm Steel Plates II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Wasn't sure about the steel plates, but this is the fit I found 8 months ago and was going to test. So, haven't tested it yet :) Rigs: Medium Trimark Armor Pump II Medium Trimark Armor Pump II Medium Trimark Armor Pump II What should I change? And I see your point on the Astro being cheaper, that''s a solid point which I might take you up on :)

[Stratios, Exploration] Damage Control II Dark Blood Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane Dark Blood Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane Corpum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer Drone Damage Amplifier II 50MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive Data Analyzer II Relic Analyzer II Cargo Scanner II Medium Capacitor Booster II, Navy Cap Booster 400 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma M Sisters Core Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe Covert Ops Cloaking Device II Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II Medium Anti-Explosive Pump I Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II Garde II x4 Hobgoblin II x5 Medium Armor Maintenance Bot II x1 Salvage Drone I x5 Curator II x4 Hammerhead II x5 Garde II x1 Curator II x1 Hornet EC-300 x5 Hobgoblin II x1 Hammerhead II x1 For PvP swap the scan mods for AB, point, and web.... No Worries

If you're going to run rat-less sites - get Astero. Properly fit it can do pretty much anything, including ghost sites blowing in the face. Use Stratios If you want to spank sleepers (whether 1st wave only, or some combat sites, or w/e) - but then again most people would suggest other ships for that. In either case, make sure you have mobile depot to refit on-fly instead of half-assing fits. Quote: And Trimarks and plate make you SLOW!.... Well, a tiny bit slower assuming proper rigging skills. Though obviously for more pve oriented approach active tank makes more sense on Stratios. Jita Flipping Inc.: Solmp / Kovl
aldhura Bartledannians Nite Owls 29	Posted - 2016.01.13 01:42:31 - [6] - Quote use an astero, that's all you need in wh space, well any space for exploration. Use dscan a lot and watch for probes. At some point you will get caught no matter what ship you use, so may as well go smaller/cheaper. Jump in to our pub chat (bart pub) and have a chat with either night or mason, they pretty helpful and this is their main occupation, they will be glad to offer lots of advice.

Janey T'gahl Caldari Provisions Caldari State 7	Posted - 2016.01.13 09:50:57 - [8] - Quote Thank you so much for all the great responses guys. I will keep my Stratios and get a mobile depot so I can switch between builds. But I will also buy an Astero and actually start exploring with it until I get the hang of it. Can you guys recommend any good fits there? Someone mentioned that it can't run rat occupied sites, but aren't most sites rat inhabited? I've only been to 5-6, but they were all filled with rats.
Allerbin Azorius Star Nation Elemental Tide 1	Posted - 2016.01.14 23:28:57 - [9] - Quote Only Sleeper Data/Relic sites have rats (unless something's changed that I'm not aware of?), if you run normal pirate sites in C1-C3's (and they appear only in C1-C3 wormholes) you'll only have to worry about getting dropped on by another player. You'll see in the name of the site if it's a pirate/sleeper site (will have Sansha/Angel/Guristas/etc.) Whenever I do wormhole exploration I generally take the Astero cause of it's defensive capability/awesome looks :) I usually fit it as such: [Astero, Exploration] Highs: Covert Ops Cloak II Sister's Core Probe Launcher + Sister's Core Probes Mids: AB/MWD (pilot's choice based off skills/fitting restrictions, AB will work if scrammed and no sig increase/cap reduction) Relic Analyzer Data Analyzer Misc. mid slot Lows: Damage Control II Small Ancillary Armor Repairer + Paste Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Misc. low slot Drones: Hobgoblin II x5 Warrior II x5 EC-300 x5 Rigs: Usually some combination of scanning rigs + inertia rigs. (i.e. Better scan strength, relic analyzer boost, Low Friction Nozzle thingy) The 'Misc.' slots are dependent on how you want to fly it. For the Mids, either a scanning upgrade, or a Warp Scram to kill any explorers. Since nullsec data sites don't always pay well you could drop the data analyzer for a scanning upgrade and have a scram in your other slot. The Low can be either a Drone Damage Amplifier II for dps vs explorers or an Inertia rig to bail out faster. Basically if it's anything other than a T2 Cov Ops explorer or another Astero, you're gonna want to bail as you can't take it on. I went with the Ancil Repper cause it's cheap, and since the 'oh s**t' moments don't last very long (cause you either make it out or die) it'll give you good repping ability while you need it. Hope this helps, and good luck o7 "You are what you dare."
