I was looking for a system to practice coverage in and found this here to be a good one. I was wondering if what I ahve produced there is useful lol.
Thx in advance :)

Your grade for this coverage is F---
The goal is to cover 4AU around every planet you have covered useless space and huge coverage hole at first planet.
Do this - probes at planets 1 and 3 and 1-3 probes between planets 2,3 to fill the gap in coverage of planet 2.

I can't fill that big hole near the sun unless I sit in an inty flying "south" for 200 days.
There is no way I can get a BM there by warping around between objects.

Why won't people just drop a probe at every planet?
*knows nothing about exploration btw*

Because you can't launch a probe within the range of another probe.
Most systems have several planets in the center, all within the 4AU range of a quest probe, so if you dump a probe at one, the other planets will have uncovered space around them.
Thus you need to cover one planet and create BM around it to cover as many gaps as possible, or, don't drop a probe at any planet but BM several places around them to get the best coverage you can on all of them.

In addition to what the poster above said...you can do that, but then you can't scan the whole system at the same time. So that method isn't time-efficient if you're going to Explore the system regularly, plus the fact that it's all chance-based would probably drive you mad. (i.e., you won't know whether you're missing a signal because you just failed the roll, or because you're not scanning the right planetary sphere.)

It's hard for me to read this without seeing the whole screen, but it looks like you should BM p1, and then work out mid-warp BMs for the other inner planets.

Big **** man:) Will never work hehe.
I recommend u to check out some guides about exploration.
Take this one for example - its idiot-proof: watch the video:)

Thx, downloading the video atm. I foundmyself an "Unknown", however...
I somehow need to get bookmarks along the red line, at least one.
The yellow triangle is sorta the area where I can easily get bookmarks in using the celestial objects, but how can I do it outside those objects?

There's a few ways. The three I understand and have used are scanning for anomalies, doing missions in the system, and keeping good bms I get from shipscanning and Exploration. Each of these have their problems and limits. I like the mission option the best, because these can give really useful, distant bookmarks, but they're not readily available in every system, especially in 0.0.
Another option might be to acquire old supersafe BMs from somebody.

These screenshots are really hard to look at. The first one was too zoomed-in and we couldn't see the system. The second one is too zoomed-out and we can't make out the details.
It doesn't look like you need anythign along that red line. It looks like your coverage is pretty good (in fact it seems like you're again covering unnecessary empty space... but the map is too zoomed-out to be sure).

A bit off topic but not really. If it is not possible to get satisfactory coverage in a system, especially a low sec one, then I just move on. Exploration is about economy of time. Build up a well organized set of bookmarks of systems that you have created great to perfect coverage in. Then just scan say 10 systems when u feel like exploring. If you don't get any hits then stop exploring for the night.

Meh, I don't do it for the ISK really. I just started this yesterday nd found 2 plexes so far, 1 where I got an implant from a DG rat and one where I am now left with 4 leaking casks (see my topic in this forum) and dunno what to do with them :D

Um, you do realise that ALL exploration sites spawn within 4AU of planets right? From that second screenshot it looks like you're trying to saturate the inner system with coverage.
The outer planets of any system just get one quest each at the warp in point, it's the inner planets within 4AU of each other that are the problem.

h, yes, that's what I've been trying to overcome using bookmakrs and quest probes. Don't really mind if I use too many, they cost **** all.
Eh btw, how can I see what rating the complex I find has? (Like 1/10, 2/10, 3/10....)

It just looked from the screenshot like you were putting probes well away from any planets, where you had no chance of finding anything. As for the rating, once you find the complex the rating will either be apparent from the name (like all Angels 8/10 have one of a few names) or will show up when you first warp to it.

The best thing is to check out these special sites in the eve-forums, just look for their name - u can see the name of a site in the systemmap. In case of the leaking casks, might be u need to use a cargo scanner on it. Remebered one case myselfe...

Nah at first u cannot and never will be able to, and second u dont need it for exploration. Sites spawn in an area within 4AU at a planet. Its "simple". Drop a valid probe on a planet and start scanning. (can be so boring:)

Sure it can be boring. However, you're making it 10x more boring and frustrating than it has to be by scanning planets individually.
