Try this ship:
[Imicus, explorer]
Core Probe Launcher I, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Salvager I
Codebreaker I
Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Damage Control II
Overdrive Injector System II
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
[Empty Rig slot]
Hobgoblin II x3
Carry an Analyser, Experimental 1MN afterburner and a small gun in your hold. It costs about 3,5 mil isk.
Apart from the damage control and the drones, you can fit this with not a single skill above 3.
A cheap (500k isk) very low SP version would be:
[Imicus, explorer low sp]
Core Probe Launcher I, Core Scanner Probe I
Salvager I
Codebreaker I
Experimental 1MN Afterburner I
Damage Control I
Overdrive Injector System I
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
[Empty Rig slot]
Hobgoblin I x3
You should be able to fly this ship in 2 days. Carry an Analyser and a small gun in your cargo hold.
Strategy:
The scanning rigs, ship bonus and sister probes (worth the money) help with scanning. Depending on the sites you'll find, you'll need to dock to switch around some modules. Once you're at the site, you'll want the enemies (if any) to target and to chase you while you let your drones kill them. With an afterburner and 0 skills you'll do 694m/s which is fast enough to outrun npc frigs. With high skills and a microwarpdrive you can kite them at 40k, with a speed of 2.8k/s and your drones doing 60dps.
Motivation:
You can do most exploration sites in high sec with the above ship. (Apart from the harder combat sites) Since your ship is bonused for probing, you can train up other skills first, most importantly your drone skills. These are some of the most useful skills you'll ever train no matter what you end up doing in Eve. Moreover, you can't do all-in-one-ship exploration without high scanning skills or a probing frigate. Even moreso, the arguably best all-in-one-ships for exploration are drone ships like the pilgrim or ishtar so your early drone skills are perfect for that goal too!
