Hi,
Exploration in low sec does not give what I expected. There are more data sites, but I'm still averaging 4 M per site, which is a let down. This is what gives a lvl 3 mission, so not that much.
I was considering going into null sec, the drones area? What can I find there, I see not many players going in this place, so it should be full of opportunities, right?
Any other pointers? |

Data sites suck. Go for relics. Yes, nullsec exploration is a lot more profitable, but you will need a ship with a Covert OPs cloak. (T2 exploration frig or the astero) If drone space was full of opportunities it wouldn't be so empty. |

Go for Relics not Data sites.
Also, exploration is hit or miss. You can net 4 mil today and 4 bil tomorrow and 400.000 the day after that....
As for null, not many people go to drone space for a reason...guess why Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy

Yes, I get that if nobody goes there, it means it sucks. But why, there is no relic sites? |

There's Hacking sites in the Drone Region. Those are probably about the only sites worthwhile to run.
Rogue Drone NPC's don't have a loot table anymore and the Sentient Drones (Commander NPC's) rarely give any good loot.
Compared to the loot that's available from Pirate Factions, it's no wonder players bypass Rogue Drone sites..

Just my two cents - exploration is not worth doing as a profession anymore due to the low value of the drops - not to mention the very tedious minigame. OTH hunting explorers in their covertop ships is easy and fun to do and you frequently get their tasty sister probe launchers + whatever loot they got for nice isk. I don't play, I just fourm warrior. |

But in Drones regions, you get no PvPers, and that's a big plus, Vol Arm'OOO just confirmed how a plus it is |

I think the advice given re: forget the data sites and do relics is probably sound. I gave up on data sites a while ago; 99% of the time they are crap in my neighbourhood (Syndicate).
Good hunting...erm exploring I mean :-) |

After you gain some experience -- you may want to advance to hunting explorers.
PS: the relic site preference refers to low/null sec. In high-sec I think data sites are more valuable - just don't get too excited with you find a blueprint. |

well .... idk about 0.0 , but low sec has been nerfed big time ... 90% of anomaly are WH 5% are combat site in which 85% dont have true sansha or drop ...
3% are data ( you can find data with 5/6 cans that doesn't even give you 500000 isk or can/mainframe with 1 carbon inside ) so its mainly crap now
2% of relic that give you about 30% worth of pre-patch
so yeah wanna enjoy a bit eve find yourself a huge alliance in null ( because all late patch are made to be profitable by huge corp / alliance only ) and make isk there
sadly all the latest patch / nerf are kinda killing all smaller corp alliance because they cannot rivalise with huge money making corp / alliance , thats probably why the number of players keep going down so badly |

they're doing something wrong then.
The small corp I'm in is doing just fine and have recently experienced an upswing.
edit: On Topic
I agree with all the others, skip data, go relic, pickings may be slim but that's what exploration is/ |

disagree explo used to be very profitable , it just got nerfed been around here since 2003 so believe me when i say there has been plenty of massive nerf , even a few month back you could do 500M doing a few hours of relic , now when you hit 20M in a site ( i talk in low) its like dropping 1.5b in a 6/10 you're happy |
