Hi Danny,
First dont get disillusioned, keep looking for a corp, this game gets a lot better when you have peeps to chat with and help you out.
As for exploration, the stratios is up there as the best ship for exploration (relic/data) and is very capable in doing combat sites up to and including "some" 6/10. However it is pretty expensive (300mil atm i got mine early at 500 lol), and at those numbers you start looking at T3's which are much more capable at the higher end combat sites.
Regardless, these are overkill for hi-sec combat sites, you can do 99% with a cruiser and the rest you can bring in something a bit bigger if needed.
Low sec exploration is best done in a cov-ops. Cheep, get in and out easilly, happy days. The combat sites get tough and more varied, T2 cruisers are prob best here but you will likely need more experiance with the fun of getting shot up before doing this.
Null sec exploration, stratios is king. You need good skills and the ship bonus to reliably complete the relic/data sites. Otherwise and mostly used are T3's, they can do the explorations sights competantly with good skills, and most of the combat sites too which the stratios will struggle with.
For your hi-sec needs:
[Arbitrator, Hi-sec Exploration]
Energized EM Membrane II
Energized Thermic Membrane II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
10MN Afterburner II
Cargo Scanner II

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Hobgoblin II x5
Hobgoblin II x1
Warrior II x6
Hammerhead II x6
Light Armor Maintenance Bot I x1

Change to meta 4 where needed, if you have T2 lasers go for it theyre only used for getting aggression. Aim to get a T2 tank first if you dont already.
Warp in, get aggro, release drones, orbit something at 5k with AB on, pulse repper as needed.

T2 mods and a bonused hull really help in null sec. Especially when you find a can with something nice and you HAVE to have lol.
Definetly not needed in hi-sec, good to have in Low.
As to help with scanning, Sister probes do wonders, and if your low on the skill front there are rigs that can help.
The ishtar has problems in low/null sec if you dont already live there.
