Wormholes are a future priority. Need to hone down the
probing and hacking skills before that.
Absolutely need cloak-device too.
Drones could maybe improve my odds to survive too.

Read about some ECM (?) drones that could buy you some extra seconds if somebody jumps you.

Read about some ECM (?) drones that could buy you some extra seconds if somebody jumps you. Inside wormhole. I know what ecm drones are, been used against me many times. T1 frigs blow up so fast he will barely get them out and have a lock on. I asume you have ganked explorers before, you should know how fast they pop. Notmally an explorer who is about to get ganked focuses on aligning out and warping off. Targetting and launching drones is secondary. They may save him true but no need to wait for having the skills before going into a wormhole.
Im so noob you wouldnt know. Babysteps here, tryin to soak in
info from around. Looks so easy on Youtube and whatnot.
As many have pointed out, will upgrade analyzers.

Okay
Went inside 2 wormholes. Both looked bleakish (color).
Said "another place in space" or something.
For some reason both had 2 warpdisrupter thingies that
came up on D-scan. Nothin else showed up. Lotsa circled
squares (places, stuff).
Didnt want to risk Heron so I exited both almost directly.
Babysteps.

Oh, one question to all you who suggested fittings.
Why isnt afterburner better?
Warpdrive gives huge signature and seems that
warpdisrupters are common in wormholes?

Hi everybody!
Can you believe this ****!
Today I have, with my other character (explorer), done what
you all have thought me and urged me to do.
I have explored wormholes and lo-sec for over 4 hours!
IN MY IBIS!
During this time I got podded only ONCE.
Got caught in a warp-bubble, boom.
Otherwise it has been smooth riding, avoiding, bookmarking,
d-scanning, probing, hacking... you name it.
Unfortunately Ibis is not the best explorer and I took the cheapest
minimum fittings I could, so sorry, no big loots.

One thing that I used to do when feeling overly paranoid is that I would make several safe spots on opposite sides of the solar system and then I would warp around between them and do my scanning while in warp. But if you just make a safe spot and then watch D scan you should be fine to sit in one spot.

Get out of high sec and problem solved. Use your D-Scan....that's about all it takes. If something is in-bound, you warp out, cloak, whatever. Most of the time there will be no one for miles.
Fly something cheap so losing it doesn't matter- an evening raiding sites in null sec will pay for several ships.
Better yet, build up some skills and a small fleet. That way you can make use of whatever you scan down. Gas sites, Wormholes, combat sigs, etc. I ran relic/data sites for awhile but kept a gas huffing Venture handy for when I found a wormhole. It was just a side hobby to the content I was looking for...but broke up the boredom when I hit a dry spell.
These 2 posts are gold.
There really was lots of gas-sights in wormholes (and more wormholes).
(One more thing. Got scared of my own probes in D-scan,
kept warping around until I realised they were mine.  )

Thanks for advices.
I meant to just take a quick peak around in a WH.
Forgot to bookmark WH after entry!!!!
Thats why I ended up on this "all over the universe" trip
with my Ibis.
None the less, it was a good ride. Being hypersuspicious I
bookmarked a lot of safespots and warped between them
while scanning down every system/WH I ended up in.
Found mostly more WHs and gas-sites. 2 relic sites and 1
data site. Didnt wanna pick a fight with a Heron over relic and
the data site I couldnt hack. Second Relic-site something called
"Watchmen" jumped me and I barely survived.

The warp-bubble was in my first visit in WH.
Was warping to make a safe-bookmark when I
suddenly was inside what looked like a sphere.
Before I read the text why nothing worked I was
blown up, 3 wolleys.

Hmm.
I want to correct something.
I said I was podded, that seems to mean pod-killed?
I have to correct and say that they let me escape in my pod.

Read about that, in some recruiting. Why would you wanna live in a WH?
