If I were to model a Proteus for exploration, it would look something like this:

[Proteus, explo]

Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer  
Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer  
Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer  
Corpum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer  
Corpum A-Type Energized Kinetic Membrane  
Corpum A-Type Energized Thermal Membrane

10MN Afterburner II  
Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script  
Tracking Computer II

250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
250mm Railgun II, Federation Navy Antimatter Charge M  
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II  
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe

Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell II  
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II  
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I

Proteus Core - Augmented Fusion Reactor  
Proteus Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration  
Proteus Offensive - Hybrid Encoding Platform  
Proteus Propulsion - Hyperspatial Optimization

Drones are whatever. Lows are expensive and geared towards kin/therm tanking. Honestly if you’re just doing that you can downgrade. If you throw in EM/exp you’re probably looking at the same basic quality range (C-type repper or better/C-type hardeners or B-type membranes or better). The magstabs… well, you have to kill things in a somewhat timely fashion.

I’m not in love with the range on the guns (22+33 with antimatter or 44+33 with lead). Damage is… fine. At least with the upgraded magstabs. Honestly, 658 is pretty decent if you’re able to stick to antimatter but the range envelope means you won’t be able to do so consistently.

As for some other options…

A Tengu might look something like this:

[Tengu, explo killer]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System

Pith C-Type Large Shield Booster  
Thukker Large Cap Battery  
Missile Guidance Computer II  
Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script  
Pithum C-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier  
Pithum C-Type Thermal Dissipation Amplifier

Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile  
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II  
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II  
Medium Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II  
Medium Hydraulic Bay Thrusters II

Tengu Core - Augmented Graviton Reactor  
Tengu Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration  
Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection Bay  
Tengu Propulsion - Chassis Optimization

As long as you’re up against Guristas/Serpentis, this thing is solid. 703 DPS to 56 or 550 DPS to 84. And that’s without playing around with scripts.

Tight on grid; unfortunately you have to use the expensive battery to make the Pith large work. Ballistic controls are somewhat optional here; you have some damage wiggle room on this fit. Deflection amps are dirt cheap; use deadspace.

Both of the above options really only shine against Serpentis/Guristas though. If you were to want to branch out against BR/Sansha, you could do worse than a HAM Loki these days. Sample fit might look like this:

[Loki, exploration armor missiles]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Corpum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer  
Corpum A-Type Energized Thermal Membrane  
Corpum A-Type Energized EM Membrane

Corelum C-Type 10MN Afterburner  
Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script  
Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script

Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile  
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe  
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II  
Salvager II

Medium Hydraulic Bay Thrusters II  
Medium Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II  
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II

Loki Core - Augmented Nuclear Reactor  
Loki Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration  
Loki Offensive - Launcher Efficiency Configuration  
Loki Propulsion - Intercalated Nanofibers

Drones are whatever again. Missile range is a touch on the low side; 49.4km with 576 DPS, but it’s fully selectable. So that’s at least decent.

Against Angels you could do worse than a HAM Legion. Perhaps something like this:

[Legion, explo HAM angel]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Damage Control II  
Corpum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer  
Corpum C-Type Energized Explosive Membrane  
Corpum A-Type Energized Kinetic Membrane

Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script  
Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script  
10MN Afterburner II

Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
[Empty High slot]  
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II  
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher

Medium Hydraulic Bay Thrusters II  
Medium Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II  
Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell I

Legion Core - Augmented Antimatter Reactor  
Legion Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration  
Legion Offensive - Assault Optimization  
Legion Propulsion - Wake Limiter

Valkyrie II x5

Drones do matter here since the missile sub is short a launcher and long a drone bonus. A classic shield fit could also work; you could conceivably refit the Tengu above. You could also try a shield Loki:

[Loki, exploration shield missiles]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System  
Ballistic Control System II

Shield Boost Amplifier II  
Pithum B-Type Medium Shield Booster  
Pithum A-Type Explosive Deflection Amplifier  
Pithum B-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier  
10MN Afterburner II  
Missile Guidance Computer II, Missile Range Script

Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Nova Heavy Assault Missile  
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II  
Sisters Core Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe  
[Empty High slot]

Medium Hydraulic Bay Thrusters II  
Medium Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II  
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Loki Core - Dissolution Sequencer  
Loki Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration  
Loki Offensive - Launcher Efficiency Configuration  
Loki Propulsion - Wake Limiter

(That’s total spitballing. All these fits are to an extent, but that one was really thrown together.)

So, some themes to draw from.

1. I’d really recommend three faction damage mods to get your site completion time down.
2. Two damage application mods are a must; more are often helpful. Missile fits need them more than gun fits since you can mitigate damage reduction through piloting on a gun fit.
3. Shield fits with a large cap battery can tank like no one’s business. Armor fits just don’t tank as hard so you might have to use higher end mods.
4. Three slot tanks are usually all you have room for; choose carefully.
5. I really like Sisters launchers. You don’t really need them for most purposes but I’m spoiled.

So… does that count as general guidance?
