If you're just starting with it, use the T1-exploration frigates until you know enough. Go into LowSec to learn how to deal with sudden visitors in sites, then upgrade either to an Astero (expensive, less skill-intensive) or a cov-op frigate.
Later on you can try out T3-cruisers or a Stratios. Hell, if you're someday have all your exploration-skills on max, you could even try out recon-cruisers if you want. (T3 or Stratios are just the best, not the only options)
And as long as you only want to run Relic/Data-sites in K-Space, Astero is the best choice if you want to shush away other player's cov-ops from your sites. Or cov-ops if running away is more fun to you.
You may have noticed I'm kind of biased here.
But really, missions are steady money but kind of boring until more burner-missions become available and exploration can bring you money (but not guaranteed), but always brings you to new places and players.
The decision is yours. |

4C. Illegal PVE Combat- PVE combat is defined as engaging mission rats, incursion rats, or belt rats.
Interesting. Well, OP you're in luck. This subsection only defines what PVE-combat is, but not what illegal PVE combat is. This would never hold up in the court of law in Yulai.
So my suggestion is, do what you want. As long as it isn't illegal, of course. |

You can pretty much ignore the self appointed high sec "police". All mouth and no trousers
Hell, especially explorers, since we aren't in HighSec most of the time. |

As far as losec, WH space or null goes I have yet to see a single CODE gatecamp or any other CODE presence in low, null or any WH I have scouted. I am sure they DO occasionally pop up in low or null but the chances of bumping into them outside hisec is is close enough to nil.
On a note completely unrelated to CODE, I did run into a large Russian gate camp once on my way to Stain, so if you spend time in Null, don't try to cross a war zone if you're too tired to read DOTLAN correctly. |
