New exploration ships. Are u ready to fly them?

With the new Rubicon expansion coming on 19 of November we will have in Eve two new exploration ships: a frigate and a cruiser hull. Designed with long-term exploration in mind, the new ships merge some of the best aspects of Gallente and Amarr ship design. They will be accessible through market and LP points from the Npc corp SISTER OF EVE.

As expected, the ship will gain bonuses from both the Gallente and Amarr frigate or cruiser skills. They'll have huge drone bays to allow them to function for a long time without resupplying, and will get drone damage and armour resistance bonuses to make them able to deal with combat exploration sites and low-class wormhole anomalies. In keeping with the exploration theme, both ships will also get role bonuses to hacking modules and scanner probes, and both will be able to fit covert ops cloaking devices!
