-Unless you want to scare off other explorers or want some additional safety, the T2 Exploration Frigates are the next logical steps after the T1 frigate. They offer the huge advantage of a Covops Cloak. This cloak is an upgrade over the normal cloaks used with the T1 ships and allows you to warp while cloaked, making it very hard to catch you (Big gatecamps with bubbles are still a danger to avoid). As such, we focused on stealth and/or the ability to escape over tank. Specialization is key and it's best to focus on a fit's strengths whether based on the hull's boosts or the fit's purpose.+Unless you want to scare off other explorers or want some additional safety, the T2 Exploration Frigates are the next logical steps after the T1 frigate.

 These fits are meant to work for the majority of players who are flying CovOps for exploration. There are upgrades you could make but they generally come at increased SP or ISK requirements. If you can run T2 Relic or Data analyzers, T2 scanning rigs or are willing to put out isk for a Sister’s Core Probe Launcher, it can boost your explo returns.  These fits are meant to work for the majority of players who are flying CovOps for exploration.

With boosts to scanning, hacking and, of course, CovOps cloak, it's easy to see why.

 Another option when it comes to T2 frigates are Interceptors. They don't have a bonus towards exploration, but can be fit to be "insta-warp" (align time of less than 2s) and are bubble immune, so for null sec exploration they have a certain advantage. If you specialise in one type of exploration (relic or data), then you can use rigs and modules to focus on that and mitigate the lack of a hull bonus a bit. Fits again depend on your skills (especially for the align time), so you will have to find out on your own what works for you.\\ Interceptors that can be fit to insta-warp are the Ares, the Raptor, the Stiletto and the Crusader. Another option when it comes to T2 frigates are Interceptors.
