While I have had t2 data/relic skills for some time I've just recently gotten into doing null non-combat exploration. I've had a decent amount of success with it, but have a few questions/problems and am looking for some help.
Data sites:
Are these completely useless? I have done countless numbers of them so far, and I get junk. Every time. No "good" BPC, and the rest of the stuff is trash. Is there a general consensus that they are terrible, or am I just horribly unlucky?
Relic sites:
My biggest problem with relic sites is the cans full of t2 salvage. I run t2 modules, have a cheetah, and use 2x relic rigs, but I STILL end up failing about 50% of these cans. I usually fail before I even get to the mainframe as it completely fills up with junk before I even get to it. Is there something I am missing on these to make them easier? My general game plan is to click all the things that I can before I start attacking any defenses (unless the healing ones pop up). Is this the way most people do it or is there a more effective way?
The only other thing I can think of would be to jump to t2 rigs, and get the +5 VC implant for relics....
Any suggestions/answers/help is much appreciated. As always, thanks in advance. |

I think the general opinion is that Relic sites are more valuable because they take up less cargo space than the data sites.
Some of the defensive nodes you have to take out immediately, not expose them all first.
I've been getting sites before others. I am in sov held, upgraded systems. While they are hostile, I don't see many people going at sites, or bothering me at all to be honest.
As to the other posts, I will try the borders first.
Would the 5% relic implant be worth it? |

Some of the defensive nodes you have to take out immediately, not expose them all first. Actually those people don't believe that the site will respawn at a useful time for them, and are probably cargo space limited. The solution for those people is to find them and shoot them, so they come back to your areas less often.
I don't really have a set area. I've recently been flying in the razor alliance/goon territory. They pretty much just bot the anoms, and leave the others for me. If someone does try to find me I end up burning the cans left, and cloaking up. |

Started doing the relic cans like you guys suggested, and I have not had a fail yet.
Pulled in 500m in loot, and a few hundred mil in BPC's in a few days.
Thanks for the help guys. It was VERY much appreciated. |

Thanks for the help guys. It was VERY much appreciated. As much as I like to shoot miniprof explorers, that is the news that I like to see. ie being able to fly a frigate and hack properly should be able to make an otherwise low skilled player who might otherwise only be able to run level 1s, a lot of money AND have them go out and see the universe at the same time.
Heh heh, I have almost 30m SP :-)
I basically do exploring for an hour or two before I go to work every day.
I am actually in the process of finding a nice c2 WH with null static that I can set up shop in. Will let me slide in and out ninja'ing the nullbear plexes :-) |
