I found a fit on eve workbench for c3/c4 Gnosis fit. Clearing data/relic sites. I am wondering if it is actually viable. I already have two hulls. so i would like to use them if possible. If not does anyone have a fit 50-75 mill alpha friendly that would be nice.
I’m an explorer not really experienced with pve so I would be ok with spending a bit more to have a more fool proof ship.

The fit you linked is for Alphas that want to be part of a C3/C4 ratting fleet. They get repairs from friendly logistic ships to stay alive.
You won’t find a solo-C3 Gnosis fit that is worth the hassle, because with normal equipment (talking about T1/T2 or cheap faction stuff) it is completely unable to tank these sites. Not even the Anomalies, don’t dream about the Data/Relics.
And before blinging a Gnosis to death, use a Commandship, HAC, T3C or Battleship to do it.
that fit not for solo. you need fleet with logi.
for c3 on alpha you can use praxis, vexor navy, i think stabber fleet. you need mobile cruiser
i dont think any ship can farm c4 on alpha. maybe very expensive praxis
while these might work in theory, you will have so little actual DPS on the sleepers, the sites will take literally forever, so the payment isn’t that good. I’d actually stay in C1-C2 with them, where you can go more aggressive in to short-range for higher DPS application.
Sleepers are not like normal NPCs, they have very high HP amounts and they are best farmed in ships that can deliver quite a punch. Especially the higher-tier sites with lots of battleships. Means 800dps+ like a Praxis or T3C, while still tanking the site either via active tanking or signature/speed. Or multiboxing Ishtars/Eos’
c2 sites have very bad isk/ehp, its near c3 FFS.
also i talk about alpha.
if you have omega, yep your chois t3c (but if you have t3c you can do c4). t2 bc, marauder, etc with good dps. but with this ships you can run c4.
There is a difference between theory and practice. Yes, C3s pay more ISK per eHP you need to shoot, but you also need to tank more, get webbed and neuted more so you more often need to keep your range or stay on high speeds to not die in a cheap T1 cruiser (VNI or SFI). And that means you have also bad application, which in return means you deal less damage than in a C2 where you can just go straight to your optimal, use the highest DPS ammo, blast the NPCs from short range or even might be able to fit one more damagemod on your ship - and in the end make more money this way than “carefully” running C3s.
I mean, you can do whatever you want, go try it. I’d like to hear how long you need for a C3 site in a VNI or SFI with an alpha clone. I know that a max-skilled, moderately blinged, implanted 700dps Ishtar can do them in ~12 minutes, so I assume you will need like 30 minutes for a single site in an SFI or VNI with alpha skill limitation. Because it’s not just eHP to remove, its also RR to break and the less firepower you have, the longer it’s going to take, exponentially.
