Do not be disappointed about lack of skills limiting your options for exploration in the first couple of weeks. I really enjoyed reading the blog Mnemosyne mentioned, that explains early options. There is no need to sit in the station till the skills are better.
You can do a lot with an Imicus .. just stick Hobs I in it and train to Hobs II as soon as possible and go for highsec radars. I still use my Imicus for quick scanning trips rather than a covops because it is so versatile. An Ishtar is my next goal.
If you want to try some plexes, keep a dps cruiser or BC' close by. Alternatively, ask a corp mate for some dps support for shared rewards. Lots of options. If you wanna speed up scanning and you stay in highsec (you should for starters) invest your money from the first couple of Radars in sisters probe launcher, sister probes and grav rigs. It helps a lot.
Whatever you do, just enjoy the excitment of exploration .. new unknown sigs with imaginable rewards are waiting for "only" you just around the corner ... no, not this corner .. the next one :)

If you are serious about exploration as mini profession in long run - forget ....snip... Ishtars .... snip..., Arbitrators etc...
Train for Gila ... snip ....
 What ???? Apologies to OP .. but I need to ask 5nipe here without starting a new thread: "Do you suggest to drop the Ishtar idea?", 5nipe???. Do you mind to explain why? My entire career planning for 2012 in question here (Imicus-Vexor-Ishtar-Gila-Tengu)

OP is a week old and i still think Vexor is a good intermediate step.
You are absolutely right, Mnemosyne. Entirely my fault. Blame me .. I am sorry  .
Back to OP topic now:
I am still the opinion to stick to the Imicus for the first couple of weeks until your scanning skills are improved.
Fast and efficient scanning is more fun than sitting in a non-scanning bonused Vexor, scanning down a sig for 10 minutes and finally not being able to get it to 100%. So .. I would say fast and furious scanning in a speedy Imicus beats Vexor in the early stage. |
