If you assemble a larger fleet, you can even try using smaller ships, like [[Cruiser|Cruisers]] and [[Cruiser#Logistics|T1 Logistic cruisers]] in harder low security sites, lowering the ISK and skill requirements even more. | If you assemble a larger fleet, you can even try using smaller ships, like [[Cruiser|Cruisers]] and [[Cruiser#Logistics|T1 Logistic cruisers]] in harder low security sites, lowering the ISK and skill requirements even more. | ||

Cruisers can enter all cosmic anomalies, lookouts and unrated complexes that are above lookout and 3/10 DED complexes and above. Cruisers enjoy high damage and good tank. They can run most high security sites they can enter without issues. Only the hardest DED site is tricky hard and the hardest unrated complex is very hard for a cruiser. | Cruisers can enter all cosmic anomalies, lookouts and unrated complexes that are above lookout and 3/10 DED complexes and above.

While they do work with meta modules you should train the skills for T2 tank as soon as possible when you move to larger hulls. With the ship prices beginning to be in 30 million range the pilot should consider using sister core scanning probes instead of normal core scanning probes. A full set of 16 is still much cheaper than rest of the fit and they will help making scanning faster. | ||
Vexor and its navy issue variant are perhaps the most popular T1 ship for PvE. There are numerous fits for them with shield tank, armor tank, oversized AB and more. they can use light, medium, heavy and sentry drones depending on how you like to fly it. When flying drone ship take advantage of your drone range and stay out of weapon range. | Vexor and its navy issue variant are perhaps the most popular T1 ship for PvE.
