I was basically just writing what Derath said ...
If you are feeling ballsy and want to learn something that you can use later (the mechanics of lowsec ... watching out for probes and so on) take your Vexor and go do the Radars (and now even Mags) in lowsec.
I myself got the idea from here: http://explorationalmanac.blogspot.com/ Plex prices are a bit different now and i am sceptical if you can still do what he did there, but the concepts are the same.
Happy exploring. |

Ah we are now at Tengu again. *sigh*
OP is a week old and i still think Vexor is a good intermediate step.
I would also like to mention that you can do exploration and not fly a Tengu (blasphemy lol) ... It's the king, sure, but you people sometimes sound as if anything else is a complete failure heh. |

Is it our tank, ability to escape, EWAR, able to fight back, skills...?
Ishtar can get ridiculous tank against serpentis/guristas (the tech 2 resists account for that) and coupled with low sig radius when using afterburner you tank a lot. It can also field more (and heavier) drones then the Vexor - together with the Gila it is the only cruiser that can field a flight of Heavies or Sentries.
Of course there are drawbacks. The ship itself requires good skills to fly (Cruiser 5 plus HAC at least 4) and supplimentary skills like the drone skills and so on to make it perform. In lowsec if someone sees an Ishtar on dscan compared to a Vexor you can be sure that it will pique their interest a bit more, too - and they will suspect you to be plexing. I would say you need to be more cautious, but then again you should be cautious already.
Yes lowsec Radars don't usually offer a huge benefit compared to highsec ones, but what i have found (this was almost a year ago tho when i first tried) is that since not everyone runs the radars in lowsec, you can simply find more compared to highsec. So you can run more. I am not sure how it is currently - i think we are seeing an influx of explorers coming to lowsec and maybe it is not like that anymore.
I did my first adventures out of highsec in a Vexor and think it is a good (and not too expensive) ship to learn the ropes.
