It’s a beautiful ship for exploration but with only one mid slot for shansha analyzer so how can it hack relic site? And how can it scan down signature??? Or is it just a spinning ship simulatior? ---

You cannot. The Echelon is only useful in Data sites of all kinds and potentially for hacking structures to find out their vulnerability window. You cannot. You have to scan signatures with another ship, then switch to the Echelon and run the sites. ---

> [@Dyver\_Phycad](#): > > The Echelon is only useful in Data sites It’s actually rather useless. It was introduced with Sansha Incursions and meant to be used in [OTA](https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Override_Transfer_Array) sites in Sansha Incursions. It was a gift to all players at the time. The Purloined Sansha Data Analyzer that can be fitted to it (and to no other ship) may seem like a good data analyzer, but because the ship doesn’t have any bonuses to hacking nor can it be rigged can one find better suited ships for hacking. It used to have a green skin in the past, and now it’s golden. It used to look like an ugly house fly … I never ever wanted to touch it tbh. ---
