This fit is generally fit to do a bit of everything. It can probe down sites and, after they are cleared by a combat ship, collect the loot. The majority of the slots are very flexible depending on what it is being fitted for, but be wary of the ship's low powergrid.

Originally designed for the Libold FFA, this heron is fit for short-ish range 1v1 frigate combat. Be careful what you engage with it though, since as an exploration frigate with little to no tank it cannot stand up to most combat frigates without being able to control range; hopefully with the double webs, scam, and good piloting this should not be a problem. (Still, expect to die a lot).

The Heron has good computer and electronic systems, giving it the option of participating in electronic warfare. But it has relatively poor defenses and limited weaponry, so it's more commonly used for scouting and exploration.
