Thanks, I've been trying to figure out what I'd need to survive one of these sites. I find them constantly, but everyone seems to avoid them. Now I can make a plan to try them out.
I'm still in a cheetah and am researching what type of ship I need to be flying to deal with Frontier and Perimeter sites which I find all the time :/ Looks like I have a while to go ... I am coming up on my first Billion ISK and have the skills for an Astero, but am likely a ways away from an Stratios :) This introduced me to several new things besides what a Perimeter site looks like (Salvage Drones, Mobile Tractor Units, T3 loot) that I have not heard of before (lol). Lots of good information!
Glad it was informative pal! The Stratios fit i use in this is a little bit out of date now, and the ship is sooo much more expensive so if you don't have the cash to risk.... Good luck getting to that first Billion! Exciting times!

Gekos are better for rattlesnake builds... but with all that said.. you cant go wrong with just t2 drones.. those fancy drones are like 100mil each and losing one to some bullshit sucks
i was using tracking computers myself but i swapped for a navigation computer.. have you had much effective luck with TP and holding drone agro?.. in my experience this seldom works.. i have better luck with Disrupter... any thoughts on any of this is appreciated
Awesome tip, MTU hits the cloaked ship to ruin the cloak, i like the series it can drop Ancient Bp for T3s Tactical , Strategic.. (Y) (Y)
Thanks for the comment bro! ... and the new logo :)
Really useful tips. I have tried the same fit in null space and it worked a treat

Have you tried? How did it go?

I used this fit on my main today, worked really good
Glad to hear it! I think I have an updated fit now, I'll try and bring a video of it soon
Just got a stratios! Thanks for the vid
hey thx now i know a stratios can do the job
This is interesting and it looks fun.
I certainly is! You should give it a go!

might need an implant to fit everything depending on ur skills
the tank here is really nice.. and the build gives you a lot of options.. i tend to get close and rep drones mid fight.. or drop sentry's and blast em from 50-60km away.. with the added neut protection.. you would be surprised how quickly would be gankers tend to turn and run from this fit... you could also fit a Shadow Serpentis MWD and move some mods around a bit to make it fit.. though it wont be nearly as cap stable just running everything..
web towers are kind of scary.. i tend to open up on them with sentry's first and down them as quickly as possible
i personally fly two of these alongside a dedicated Astero alt fit out as tackle with Data/Relic/CargoScanner tools in its cargo
and the last thing i wanted to point out was the 'Subverted' JVN-UC49 medium combat drones... much like the geko.. taking more bandwidth then normal then its usual size counterparts and dealing omi damage.. but the stratios has JUST enough bandwidth to field all 5 JVN Drones.. and ur damage application getting 5 chances to crit each volley from ur drones... another upside is these medium drones are made to engage medium or large targets.. having a larger engagement profile... if you really want to spend money on fancy drones.. those should be ur choice to pair up with a strat.. Gekos are better for rattlesnake builds... but with all that said.. you cant go wrong with just t2 drones.. those fancy drones are like 100mil each and losing one to some bullshit sucks
