The Astero is primarily designed as a cloaky exploration ship, with a particular emphasis on extended operation away from stations.
The Astero is primarily designed as a cloaky exploration ship, with a particular emphasis on extended operation away from stations. It is a prominent PvP frigate, and can kill other frigates with ease, which make it especially suitable for ganking other low/null/WH explorers. This PvP-focused nature is supplemented by the Covert Ops Cloak, which enable the Astero to pick its fights. As a result of this combination of exploration bonuses, covert ops cloak, and excellent PvP capabilities, the Astero is a popular ship in low, null, and WH space exploration.


The Astero is the only T1 ship that can fit a covert ops cloak, meaning it could be an attractive cloaky scout for lower skilled players. However, besides being expensive for the job, the Astero has the major drawback that it does not have the CPU that other scanning frigates and covert ops ships have, meaning it must make many fitting trade-offs to fit an expanded probe launcher, which is normally a standard part of a cloaky scout's fit.
