So...
I tried Exploration because It looked like the most interesting way of making ISK (Will NOT waste my 2h of free time per night on mining). For the last couple of days I travelled the 0.5 to 1.0 zones in search of Data or Relic sites. All I could find were Wormhole or Combat Signatures (lots and LOTS of them).
Actually, I found one Data and one relic site and made about 1 million ISK for both of them. So it would be very nice if the frequency of sites would be there.
Therefore its not an issue with my character skills because I was able to identify the signatures. I was just too late to get the good stuff and this probably caused by the fact that my game time is after the kids are in bed and my house 'tasks' are done...which is between 20h00 and 22h00 (if I am lucky). Probably the worst time to compete for the signature sites.
Now, I understand that as soon as I can get to the low and null Secs it will be a lot more interesting. But at this time I have one functional ship and if I lose it I am...well...buck naked.
So I have 5.5 millions in bank and I am trained to use Destroyer ships for Amarr, Gallente and Minmatar.
- What interesting options do I have (mostly regarding a ship) to do some combat signatures or Anomalies with that kind of budget?
- How can you identify the difficulty levels of combat Anomalies and Signatures?
- Or should I stick with missions for now because I am simply too 'green'?
As always, thanks a lot for the help. Its a very complexe game filled with interesting options. So you have to try them all as a young character to know what direction you will take for the long run. Having people that provide constructive advices really help to make the right choices!
Yeah!

2.) I believe the function used is "Googling" (That's what I do, at least) ^_^
So my advice is: look into doing WH data/relic sites in connections from hi-sec OR find someone doing L4 missions that wouldn't mind giving you half the ISK and letting you salvage (It's boring and gives little ISK, but if you need something to do, I suppose it works.
For point #2, I mean using the scanners, is there a way to know what you are getting into before you jump?
And I was under the impression that Wormholes were tougher then normal missions/combats. Is it really something I could do with a Frigate?
Thanks for the help BTW |

If you are dead broke, however, remember that EVE doesn't limit you to earning your ISK from killing NPCs or finding valuables in-game. Have you considered scamming as a way to make a few hundred million ISK? One very effective scam is the tried and tested strategy of begging. Intentionally lose a ship to NPCs, then beg in local in busy systems. "Help, NPCs killed my ship, can anyone give me 5m ISK to buy and fit a new destroyer?" A good number of useful idiots will give you ISK, and you can keep asking long after you first get paid.
Hahaha. I prefer to deserve what I have.
I do have a Rifter waiting in my bay (from the Career quests). Would that be sufficient to do the low-end combat wormholds? |

Lots of great advices and I take notes of them. However I don't have 1/2 the skills you guys are mentioning.
I am not 2 weeks in the game yet and that is the issue. There are a lot of options for established players, but its the lift-off that is pretty rough while you have a dozen of skills to work on at the same time because you can't even equip some of the gear you require.
So, until I am able to (for example) use combat drones, have proper tanking and gunning skills, what are the low end options?
Mind you, i wanted to be an explorator so most of my skill time has been spent on scaning, hacking, archeology and the such. My combat skills are..well...low.
Thanks again for the help |

1. Cloak
2. Scanning mods
3. some kind of propulsion mod (mwd preferred)
4. Hacking/archaeology trained to 3
5. Astrometrics 4
6. Astrometric support skills to 3
7. Frigate skill to 4
All this takes no longer than a week to train.
Nice, i am pretty close to that. I need astrometrics 4 and all the requirements for cloaking.
Couple days at best probably. |

Nice! Last night I treated myself with a Trasher with 2 long range canon and 4 short range.
So I'll try that tonight around Hek and see what I can get out of it.
Doing exploration was a bit frustrating without any chance to test my archeology/hacking.
And thank for the in-game help offer!
