Loved this idea. i ended up making my own Tengu and Loki fits for nomading or "deep recon" with the intent of being away from home hole for 2-3 days at a time. Couldn't find a way to make the AC's work on the Loki, but my HAM Tengu carries 3 fits in its cargo, uses a mobile depot to make a temp outpost. The idea is be able to run combat sites (c3), hack sites, and PVP from the same platform, i just switch out the fits based on the current needs. I really love flying it. and its cheap at 626mil. In the default (below) fitting it spits out a blistering ~900dps with ehp of 50k.

[@captainbenzie]

That's a really cool fit and I'm glad you're enjoying the ship and playstyle!

[@nalorakkkk]

Wow this is really exactly what I am looking for. I would love to be able to find an empty c3 wormhole and fly the Sides in it. And also be able to approach small ships, for example. But what about your storage space, if you loot something do you have enough space?

[@captainbenzie]

@nalorakkkk The mobile depot helps with that. If you can, you can also multibox a Deep Space Transport so that you can use it's Fleet Hangar for storage.

[@nalorakkkk]

@@captainbenzie How exactly does the depot help me with this? Or can you store things in the depot and then take them back into the hangar with the things inside. So like a bag in a bag? The loot from the Hacking and Relic Sites is of course very small. The sleeper loot is also very small. But I also like to take every faction ship I see. There could be difficulties with the cargo.

[@rolandrayar9336]

it would be great to have a series with this wormhole nomad !

ace vid young man . now do one where you spend a week alone in wormholes and show us the naviation side of moving between holes and into high / low sec ...that would be a fantastic series !

[@captainbenzie]

Could be a fun one!

If you want what is in my opinion the best ever wormhole nomad series check out @Chloroken … his Nomad Life series is phenomenal!!!

[@The8BitHero]

Love it. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RifterBlade]

Hope things get better for you m8, and thanks for the video. Be awhile before I can move to Loki from Tengu, but that's because I want 5s in the minmatar settings before I add it to my arsenal. Fly free folks. My .02 isk.

[@captainbenzie]

Not a bad reason to wait - I hope you enjoy it when you get there! It's the same journey I took - Tengu was my first T3C and I was full Nomad in it for a long time. It's an awesome ship for sure!

[@TheLingWhisperer]

I've modified this fit slightly to reduce its cost without sacrificing too survivability. Cost as of 4/24 comes to around 630 million including a single tier 1 slot 6 CPU implant. The trick is using a Caldari Navy webber to save on CPU overhead, that plus the 1% cpu implant allows you to fit a Shield Boost Amplifier 1 instead of a relic scanner when running combat sites. This way, you do not need to buy the extremely expensive faction shield boosters. My cost estimate includes the cost of ammo, drones, implant, mobile depot, MTU, and extra modules in cargo to refit for pointing and killing scouts, running relic sites, or running combat sites. My only concern is that the tank might still be a bit too weak, as it comes out to about 20 less raw shield boost per second than the C-types. If you are willing to add another 140 million to the cost, you could resolve this with two c-types and forgo the implant, fitting a boost amplifier for an even stronger tank but coming in a little shy of 800 million ISK.

[@KarlJeager]

You could fit a better amp in the Copasetic Compact Shield Boost Amplifier without the implant and you have the power grid to swap the cap battery for a republic fleet one exchanging more cap for a bit less neut resistance (probably about the same in the end but they are cheaper). If you keep the implant with the Republic fleet cap battery you could also just manage to fit a tech 2 boost amp as long as skills allow. The Fleet battery and T2 amp with level 5 skills bring it from 154.9 HP/s raw and 398.1 to 162.1 HP/s raw and 416.5 EHP against omni compared to the videos fit of 186.8 HP/s raw and 480.0 EHP omni. Would probably have to fly the fit to see if the lighter tank is enough of course, although I did recently fly an armour cruiser in a cataclysmic C3 bringing its tank down to 339.5 EHP and it did Fortification Frontier Stronghold's fine just got rather spicy on the last wave of a Outpost Frontier Stronghold when getting caught by the battleship webs when two of the frigate were still alive. I noticed upgrading to the 2% implant would allow the Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher (or a lesser quality one) to be fitted if you wanted the option to combat probe. You also seem to be missing a data analyser if you wanted to do hacking as well as archology.

[@Wychfyre_]

Thanks for the video, look after yourself. An idea for a video: How to make money hauling (beyond NPC missions) - i know it can get deep (fast), but a basic guide would be cool.

[@captainbenzie]

Thanks for the idea!

[@Jodenis84]

One way is to check Eve tycoon for items that are being sold for less than jita buy (or sell) value and go purchase them and haul the to jita. For example many people don’t want to haul their PI or their gas/ore all the way to jita so it can be found for sale at a bargain.

[@1010ajb]

Bennie your content is fabulous mate and I 100% share your love of minmatar ships and autocannon. In your video you talked about swapping mods - think you probably meant a mobile depot And not an MTU (mobile tractor unit) but this is GREAT content and I’m just going go Slap 2 of them in the oven right now

[@Feracitus]

any ammo based platform doesnt cut it for deep wh exploration, you'll run out at the worst times. it's either drones or lazors.

[@alexlaw1892]

Drones are love drones are life!

[@Jodenis84]

You can take a lot of ammo lol

[@captainbenzie]

And yet I go weeks just fine. I carry thousands of ammo, and ammo is cheap and easily available. Jump out into K-Space from time to time. Being a nomad doesn't mean you have to stick to J-Space - you are allowed to leave xD You also need to sell loot or your cargo is going to fill up. The aim with ammo ships is to reduce your ammo as you're filling with loot. As you free up space by firing ammo, you're refilling with loot. Then you go sell it and do the opposite, empty the loot and refill with ammo. This is not a hard concept ;)

[@hashimusashi]

Burnout is real! Take care of youtself, dude!

[@MrNoxxta]

Love this fit, do you think an Arty Loki would be possible?

[@captainbenzie]

For sure, but not in J-Space. The rats close the gap too fast.

[@Nope-t5l]

THAT is NOT a "cheap fit", LOL. No sir Captain. Yes, it's all relevant. But for me, for now it's not cheap. Not for me. Cool fit. I would imagine it might work great, but when a internets content creating pve super tier says I kept this in order to keep this fit cheap. I say derp. I subbed your channel and like to window shop it, but man. Anyway I enjoyed this one to. But that's not cheap my friend. And yep, I've learned a good bit to. Have a good EVEning Capt.

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah, I never claimed it was 😅 the Zeugma alone is 400m

[@overbe]

You don't really need to have Zeugma equipped all the time. Scram/point would make more sense on a hunter. Refit to hacking while you are finishing scanning the rest of the sigs in that WH

[@captainbenzie]

I talked about this towards the end. That's my main setup as I don't PvP in it, but you could, and could easily use a mobile depot to swap around.

[@PsychicFusionReactor]

Would an interdiction nullifier be a good option for that last high slot? Been away from the game for a while so not sure if those are still useful or not.

[@captainbenzie]

They absolutely can be, HOWEVER they do have significant downsides to fitting them which negatively impact your combat capabilities due to lower scan res, lock range, drone bandwidth etc I honestly think that judicious use of D-Scan and the Covert Ops cloak should be enough. I absolutely fit interdiction nullifiers to my dedicated explorers like my Cheetah though

[@PsychicFusionReactor]

@@captainbenzie Thank you, I had forgotten about the downsides.

[@BLoODFLaMe-Qc-]

Just so you guys don't go out there with a MTU and realize you can't refit, Capt Benzie meant a Mobile Depot when he said MTU.

[@captainbenzie]

[@gxsilenthunter1]

Funny I was looking for a loki. Probably gonna try a ham version of this. For relic and data analysers I also take them with me and the specialized t2 rig and refit using a depot. Cheaper and you become as effective as a buzzard if you have all l5 skills.

[@captainbenzie]

[@captainbenzie]

Was it you guys that I gave an o7 in local to?

[@Garresh1]

I took this out and was disappointed in it actually, but for a specific reason. Some of the c3 sites bring a *ton* of webs, many on triggers. I've toyed around with it and found that with some tweaks you can swap to a mwd instead of an AB and get much better results.

[@ChessiXhesi9]

is this fit for PVP or PVE?

[@captainbenzie]

PvE

[@TheLingWhisperer]

I'm a little confused on something - data sites seem nearly worthless? I've never seen one drop more than 10 million ISK from the entire site. Whereas, I've had lucky relic sites drop 100 million just in a single can. Granted, the average is closer to 10-30 million per site, but that makes the less lucrative relic sites better than the most lucrative data sites I've seen. Am I missing something? Are the sleeper data sites actually worth clearing the rats and hacking out? I usually stick to the pirate named ones because I'm doing nomad in a non-combat ship for now. And considering this stark contrast in profitability between the two site types, why bother fitting an expensive analyzer capable of doing both? I'm inclined to mimic your fit, but with T2 everything and a shield boost amplifier instead of keeping the analyzer fitted at all times. When I'm done with combat anoms in my home system and feel like doing some exploration, I'll just drop a mobile depot in a deep safe and refit to a relic analyzer and maybe some warp core stabs so I can leave the trigger alive on the first wave in sleeper relic sites while I hack the cans and bail as soon as I scoop the treasure. It's really fortunate that most WH loot takes very very little cargo volume, because that lets you carry a mobile tractor, a mobile depot, a few modules to refit, and then even just 50 m3 can hold a billion+ worth of blue loot and relic salvage. Single box nomad is a hard but very fulfilling playstyle, and your fit here seems very close to what I need.
