Kale Raleigh Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.01.07 00:51:12 - [1] - Quote I have decided that I want to try exploring for my main source of income to fund my PvP. Currently I can use a heron with what I believe to be just barely trained up enough to use the ship/equipment. In order to explore effectively both in low and in wh space I thought it would be worth the time training to use a buzzard since it can fit a covert ops cloak. Am I wrong? Would I be fine with just a T1 cloak in a heron until I'm trained? Is it even worth training a T2 just for exploring in case I discover a different method to make isk that is better than exploring? Other than that I would like to know what else I require to make isk effectively while I explore. Whether it be game knowledge or skills. Also, where is the best place to find relic and data sites? Should I journey to null or is low a better option. Thanks for your time o7

For wormhole exploration, yes a covert ops cloak is by far the best choice. For nullsec, it really depends. There are just as many people exploring in cheap T1 frigate hulls as there are T2 hulls and Astero's. The advantage of the T1 hull is the price. You can lose a lot of them and it won't hurt your wallet much. As exploration is often a solo activity and you will be jumping into systems you don't know much about, T1's give you a cheap loss if you jump into a bubble camp and/or are scanned down and killed while you are exploring. For wormholes, the ability to warp cloaked provides an advantage to hulls that can fit a covops cloak. My advice would be to explore null in a T1 hull while you are training skills and if the income/activity suits you, then move to T2 or faction ship when you can and then go exploring wormholes.

Should I journey to null or is low a better option. Either is fine. Relic sites will give you more income that data sites as a general rule and there are more specialist sites that provide higher income again (sleeper cache, ghost sites, etc.) Wormholes will eventually give you the highsect income of all.

Serene Repose 2022	Posted - 2015.01.07 02:08:45 - [4] - Quote Apparently all it takes is large cahoneys. Treason never prospers. What is the reason? Why, if it prospers, none dare call it "treason."
Quanah Comanche Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 67	Posted - 2015.01.07 02:20:49 - [5] - Quote Since there are no other posts on this very subject, just a Heron with a probe launcher will do.
Nevil Oscillator 167	Posted - 2015.01.07 04:40:34 - [6] - Quote There are plenty of Wormholes just not so many that go where you want them to. Stop What ? The other threads are different are they ?

Firstly, you want an interceptor to jump through and check for bubbles and campers. Secondly, you want a cloaked scanning ship. Thirdly you want some ships to destroy the sleepers or the players you are after. Finally, you want a salvager. CSM Ten movement for change.

Not even in WHs, so long as you can tank the damage. Three out of four of those things can be done in an Interceptor. Seriously, why do people like to specialise so much?

Thirdly you want some ships to destroy the sleepers or the players you are after. Finally, you want a salvager. Uhh, Exploring =/= Having to destroy stuff. Not even in WHs, so long as you can tank the damage. Nearly all of those four of those things can be done with an Interceptor. Not standard, but I'm just sayin'. Friends is always more time efficient, but only ever really needed in PvP. You can't do sleeper relic/data sites in an interceptor, the rats will insta-pop you. But the interceptor explorer is a very valid option for non-combat exploration in Null/WH with high skills, have a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_vJ3e6gS8 I'm my own NPC alt.

Don't do exploring to fund pvp. My advice would be to go to FW instead and do missions for LPs, using a SB. Or do pvp in FW for LPs using T1 frigates. Buy items from LP store, sell items on market for ISK. Either way - using T1 frigates, or SB in FW, you are going to learn basic mechanics for doing WH space in the long run. The intention to do WH space, or to "explore" to fund pvp is a little skewed. When you are ready to do WH space, thats a whole different science than "making ISK for pvp".
Ka'Narlist Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 308	Posted - 2015.01.07 13:16:20 - [12] - Quote The problem with a buzzard is that it's harder to fit for exploration bonuses then a heron and as others allready said if you loose a heron its much cheaper then lossing a buzzard.

Basically the timer at which npc spawn may be set to more or less 0 (i.e. the second you start a hack). Kind of "ouch". Especially in a frig.

Also the question is not how "long" the "banana" is but rather how "wide" the "banana" is :P On topic however, I can confirm that WH exploration gives you enough to sustain through losing a 1 or 2 Asteros here and there :D " And now my ship is oh so cloaked and fit - I never felt so good, I never felt so hid !

But the point of the almost uncatchable ceptor explorer is, that you can do non-combat relic sites solo without the need to change ships or fits. The drawback is the non-bonused hull requiring good skills to be effective. I'm my own NPC alt.

JINGKO BELLS EvE-Scout 53	Posted - 2015.01.10 16:55:21 - [21] - Quote I'll make a pitch for basing out of Thera if exploration is your thing. As a transportation hub and exploration hub from which to sally forth into all of eve, low/high/null and J-space it is simply phenomenal. I know a lot of explorers now who are making it their home. o/

Aiyshimin Shiva Furnace 301	Posted - 2015.01.11 13:44:54 - [24] - Quote What do you need for whs/low? Brains and balls. Be aware that prolonged exposure to the contaminated particles of high security space will shrink both. Go before it's too late.
