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.

Summary

The Heron is the Caldari Tech 1 exploration and scanning frigate. It is a good ship for rookies or veterans who are getting into probing and don't have the skills for the T2 version, the Buzzard. It's bonus to cycle time for hacking, archaeology, and salvaging modules means it can be very effective for looting exploration sites, as well as being a valuable hacker in the Override Transfer Array vanguard incursion site.

  • This is designed to handle sites in high sec, where the site rats are frigates, or the occasional cruiser. As an exploration frigate, don't expect to brawl or take on large combat sites. NOTE: Salvage Drones will not work on Radar Site cans.

  • 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).
