So after 9 wormhole hits in a row, I am still on the hunt for my first official exploration site!
What's the longest streak of Wormholes for you guys?

What are your criteria for hunting down these worm holes? It's definitely not 9 holes for me. Though I'd say I tend to hunt my systems and some times I find suitable sites, and other days I don't. I tend to look for C1's and C2's. They're lucrative enough though that it's not that bad they only show up every other day or more.

Well, the thing is I'm not looking to hunt down wormholes specifically, but that's all I keep finding  .

There are ways to distinguish wh's and other exploration sites without scanning them down the whole way. I suggest you learn those ways :)

Indeed I must! I am still learning the tricks of the trade. Care to drop a small hint though?

I hit 79 after incursion, and after 45, 34 and 52 streaks, and officially said "**** it, CCP broke exploration" and canceled.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one way is to focus on the anoms with the lowest strength first as those tend to be radar. Higher strengths tend to be WHs.

As long as your skills and scanning modules stay the same the initial scan signatures will stay roughly the same. So if your first scan results in a 3.00 strength anom and you scan it down to a wormhole ignore the 3.00 sigs on subsequent scans.
Also I have noticed that workflows are usually the highest strength signatures on initial scans.
Edit: for iPhone wormholes = workflows and sometimes workhorse apparently.

There seems to be 3 different sizes of signatures. Each size is roughly twice as large as the next. There are the odd signatures between, but these are not as common.
I recommend dropping a single probe and making a log of the signal strengths of the sites you find. There is a pattern.
A deep space probe set to max range (256 AU) works best, as it is so big that its position doesn't really affect the readings. Though even a 32 AU probe will give useful readings.

Yeah I know that pain :P
Have you tried checking <= 0.5 systems as alot of high sec systems don't have many decent exploration sites.
My general rule of thumb is at about 20% scan strength if the 'type' is still 'unknown' then either either an anomoly or a WH; both of which I generally ignore.

Can anyone confirm this? Did CCP finally get rid of all those crappy k-space exploration sites with 20k-ISK-rats or worthless hisec ores in them? I stopped scanning for wormholes from k-space a long time ago because of those totally useless sites I found all the time instead of wormholes.

As far as I am aware, this is not correct.
There are wormholes and all the other cosmic signature types, along with cosmic anomalies, still to be found in hisec space. it's possible that the OP did his scanning shortly after someone else who cleared all the non-WH sites.
I live in w-space ... so I do know a little bit about scanning and finding sigs / anoms :-) I was on holiday in hisec and scanning just last week. Of course I was looking for WHs (searching for a new C4 home) and was cursing all the other sigs / anoms that I kept finding.

First law of scanning.
You shall find the sig type you are not looking for. Repeatedly.

Quite the opposite. The newly broken static WH spawning mechanics mean that WH residents are creating dozens and dozens of WH's into K space and probably choking out the ease of finding normal sites.

Would you care to expand on this Boreesh? As a longtime w-space resident I'd certainly be interested in any static WH spawning dynamics changes.

Ahhh, a clue. Boreesh's 'probably' suggests he doesn't actually know. As I mentioned earlier I was scanning heaps of hisec systems during a recent holiday and those not-WH sites are all still out there ... no probably about it.

Not sure if this bug has been fixed, but it basically resulted in people being able to spawn an unending number of statics from their holes. Post-patch I definitely noticed I was ignoring the signal type that corresponds to K162 Wormholes a lot more than usual. Boreesh wan't so much saying that there was no normal sites, simply that it was harder to find them due to the abundance of K162 holes.
Luckily anyone with the ability to use Deep Space Probes should be able to avoid them quite easily.

Read Sketch's excellent guide to Exploration here to find out how to filter (most) wormhole signatures in seconds.
Deep Space Probes for the win :)
