You can, yeah, but why?
It also can blow up and is way more expensive than a T1 Cruiser, and it’s not really fun. Or do you enjoy jumping cloaked that much that you even do PVE in exploration ships?
On the other hand: After you tried the Astero there, may you try the Endurance? Sturdy little ship, should be possible too.
is not the best thing to do … skill up and use it if you have GOOD skills for the ship and the fit you want to use … a Astero is a expensive ship for its size … normal T1 frigs are much cheaper to waste … take care
