One thought about cost: Using faction cap batteries and rechargers gives you more fitting space and compared to the cost of the ship, I would really consider them. Since you also do abyssals, you could buy a bunch of medium armor repper IIs and roll them through decayed mutators to give you better cap, fitting and rep amount.
Yeah, swapping the 2 Pb batteries for 2 Republic fleet batteries took this fit for me from 5980gj to 7003gj; cap stable from 64.6% to 70.5%; neut resist per battery from 22% to 27%. And it uses the same amount of PG/CPU as the Pbs - though they cost an extra 50m or so.
When you get yellow boxed by the rats and you recall drones, wait for the rats to red box you again before relaunching them or the sleepers will just go back to shooting your drones

Your unfamiliarity with hacking really showed in this one 😂 thanks for making us a very entertaining video about something thats not your cup of tea. Appreciate youuuu
Thank you, but honestly, hacking is something I'm fond of and normally pretty good at! I'm just: a) Using the wrong modules which make it very hard as I'm lower strength and cohesion than you should have for these boxes b) Doing this at 2am my time. I was not focusing, I was half asleep, and BOY does it show...! Glad you enjoyed and hope it gave you a chuckle!
One point i would like to make is that the Republic Fleet Warriors are the fastest drones and have decent HP and are most easily able to avoid damage from sleepers. Your drones will take an absolute pounding from these high level sleepers.
Couple of things. Never open the white nodes unless you have no option. They don't hurt you as long as they are white. If you are out of options then open a white node 50/50 good or bad. Secondly recall your drones as soon as you see a yellow box, then wait for them to red box you before launching your drones.
Great Video I have a Stratios but I built it for exploration and discovered that it was even less suited for exploration than my Astero. I was lucky enough someone filled my buy order for a Ligature Integrated Analyzer for about half price. (I do NOT have the skillz for a Zeugma) Now I just need to figure out what to put in my new empty slot :)
Thanks for the video, I asked for it so i was very interested in how you would do it. If yoy add the Zeugma analyizer you go over a bil easy. I guess if you refit a cargo scanner when you get to the boxes you can cherry pick the good data ones.
do you have a fit for lower wormholes? like C2? I have my stratios and i wanna give it a try but ive been nervous to so it just sits in my station for like 2 months lol
Just curious, but is there a reason for the salvager when the drone bay is rather big and could hold 5 salvage drones to free up that high slot the salvager takes?
Honestly a cheaper ship than I would have guessed. On par with the HAM Tengu for C3s - though I may be comparing current Tengu fit prices to what your showing here
There is actually a fit that works with medium energy turrets, beams of all things too. :) But admitedly it's quite niche and i haven't seen it used in 4-5 yrs.
Would the Proteus (slightly more expensive) the better option for this? It has the bonuses to scanning und hacking, higher drone bandwith, more dps, same aligntime, shorter recloaking delay, more high slots (for example autotargeting system, a second nos) Only negative part: Stratios looks way better 🙂
this is such a well thought out fit that it hurts to say a passive shield Strat is just better for this. drop a depot and refit damage amps as you need less regen to clear faster, refit hacking module and refit warp stab to leave.
Same sites can be done with just shield regen and staying at one place, latest battleship can be annoyed by ECM so he just ignore you completely while trying to kill small drone

Add that to the fact that stratios is a ship that allow you to chose your fight so you can potentially newer lose it if youre are carefull with your engagement choices and you have a wery good mix for the solo skilled player who wanna have a careful taste of that kind of PVP wile training for t3c...
Love to Ninja Hack :) And sleepers love to play with EC drones :) And with the SoF skin it's screams come get me I can afford it lol. FYI I use the passive shield tank fit.
I dont know if it still works now but i think when i used to do these sites, i used to create a warp bookmark near the site.. and instead of slow boating to the can, i would warp to the bookmark and then to the can.
Loving the 15-20 warnings that u don't wanna fuck up in these sites haha 😆 U are right they are intense, do not underestimate the need for proper skills on the character to pull it off..
Ok I’m sorry that I have to say this… the only thing, ONLY thing I didn’t like about this video are the comments scaring people into not using it 😢. I use the Strat for one reason it can do near as good a job as a TC3 but has access to DED sites TC3’s can’t get in to. Also if you state this is expensive then don’t ever bling out any ship. Also not having damage mod bonuses is meh, you’re right but you can fit any wep you like, most experienced players use blasters. The trick to using this ship is using a mobile depot. I have 3 fits with a compromise on the rigs, 1 for travel/scanning, one for hacking which also slows me to web and scram and another for running up to DED 5 sites. Sure is it the fastest? No but without changing to a TC3 it’s a great option. You are an experienced pilot and should know that 300 or so million isint expensive for a hull. Heck my Strat runs 1.3bil and I’ve not been specifically hunted and when I’m hacking I’ve not felt as safe. Content creators need to be careful what they say as it will influence newer players who mindlessly take every TH-cam video as gospel. If any explorer is worth their weight using a covert ops cloak shouldn’t have an issue in high sec or low, J space is another matter but then again that applies to any other ship. Great content matey but try not to over exaggerate the whole ‘you will be hunted’ thing. Also the Pacifier doesn’t give ANY bonus to probe flight time 😅 only survey probes not scanner probes (they aren’t the same) also to have better scanning than the Strat the Pacifier would need to have Covert Ops to at least level 4 because that would give you a 40% increase versus the 37.5% of the Strat.
I'd agree with the whole "scaring folks away" thing, as I know the power of being a CC, except for the fact that the video is showcasing it. This works both ways. As a CC, I have to be careful of showcasing something and folks simply jumping into the shop to try it without the proper skills (in-game and personal) to back it up. The Stratios is slow to align. As you yourself say, "if they're worth their weight with covert ops", but the thing is that many newer folks simply, *aren't*. The warnings are there purely to keep folks grounded and understand both sides of it. The Stratios is a great ship (that's why I'm showcasing it) but it's not faultless and I know MANY hunters who will hardcore hunt a Stratios if they see it on D-Scan for a second. Stratios are expensive killmails and are often flown by newer players who don't know better. As a CC, I need to explain the risks of a ship in addition to its advantages.
Fair… I have a fit for scanning with < 2 sec allign but that’s with maxed skills and implants it has a 10 AU warp too. Well fair dues mate great content! I’ve subbed. Hope to see you on in game. Fly safe!!!! o7

@@captainbenzie i mean when you find a defense in the middle of a 6 nodes. The system core is 100% of the time 1 node around. But you clicked and continued to search farer.
@@captainbenzie Wiki explains it very well: Use the Rule of Six. This rule is slightly complicated, but can make your life when hacking much easier. The rule is that if you have a node that has six edges leading away from it ( a "complete" node with no missing nodes in the hexagon around it), then that node is guaranteed to 1) Have no Defensive Subsystems in it OR 2) be adjacent to the System Core. What that means in practice is that you can use these squares to move safely through the board, and any Defensive Subsystems you find tell you where the System Core is. It is usually worthwhile to try to reach and use areas of the map with many of these "complete" nodes when hacking.

23:00 noooooo, never pop white circles unless you are halted by an unbreakable node or core.

I'm screaming at some of these hacks lmfao, this is a great video tho.
Yeah, I was very tired (2am when I recorded this)
C5 sites aren't hard to hack, I did it with a T1 Relic Analyzer...
Mmmm, brutal, yes.
is it just more or more people watching eve videos when not even playing it anymore :(
stratios always was my favotire ship but i have lost few 1-2 bil fits XD
I dunno, I see tonnes of folks in game.
One of most badly nerfed ships in EVE. Was great long time ago. Now is only pretty.
Hacking is not your speciality it seems :D
Not at 2am
@@captainbenzie i mean when you find a defense in the middle of a 6 nodes. The system core is 100% of the time 1 node around. But you clicked and continued to search farer.
@@captainbenzie Wiki explains it very well: Use the Rule of Six. This rule is slightly complicated, but can make your life when hacking much easier. The rule is that if you have a node that has six edges leading away from it ( a "complete" node with no missing nodes in the hexagon around it), then that node is guaranteed to 1) Have no Defensive Subsystems in it OR 2) be adjacent to the System Core. What that means in practice is that you can use these squares to move safely through the board, and any Defensive Subsystems you find tell you where the System Core is. It is usually worthwhile to try to reach and use areas of the map with many of these "complete" nodes when hacking.
@@vinsang63 Oh, I know hacking, it's one of my main gameplay loops. I just made this video at 2am with T1 modules in a situation that really needs T2s and thus my brain just stopped working 😅
@@captainbenzie Oh i got it hahaha well, doing this with a stratios was pretty impressive tho !
Never seen so many horrible ship designs, CCP need a ship designer, the Drake is a lazy afternoon's work at best. Come on!
To each their own opinion 😉
Why don't you apply at CCP to become a ship designer?
Your hacking game is not up to par. You should go check some videos on how to hack properly.
Lmao or this was filmed at 2am after several hours of doing other stuff.
You have a choice in life to be kind with your words, or to just tear people down. Try to be kind.
@@captainbenzie Absolutely didn't say anything mean or disrespectful. Just saw you lose some isk . You were talking about how difficult the hacking was, just pointing out that with more knowledge you wouldn't struggle so much.
@@captainbenzie lol this guy...he really knows how to cheer you up :P
Great video :D work a bit on hacking use rule of 6, rule of 8, and the starting position can help u identify where the core is... it hurts me when I see how slowly u do the hacks where u have unlimited tries.... Keep up the goods coming so we can critique more :D
Thank you - this was recorded at 2am and I was not with it
