One thing to consider, you don't want to take consumables with you, unless you have a cloaky hauler to take along with you.
How long can you really stay stranded and doing stuff that is productive if you have to share your cargo hold with ammo, and probes (although i did pick up somewhere probes are reusable?) and also any of the loot, remember these rats might not have bounties on them.
Unless you are willing to take an orca out there (remember if you jet from orca and end up getting podded you may never find it again), or put up a pos, and haul a freighter/orca load of consumables to it, it is going to be far from a solo deal.
the smallest group i really could see going out there, would consist of a drone ship, and a hauler to make it worthwhile. Unless you want to expand and cargo rig your BS/BC to haul the only income that comes from the rats there(so the rumor mill churns out)
Anyhow, should be fun with a dedicated group of folk. |

i cant believe no one has recommended the thorax yet, for perfect wormhole penetration. |

I plan on penetrating wormholes with my Sac 
But really, it's between a Sacrilege or a Zealot for me.
The Sac has better tanking ability, capable of all damage types, has a good size cargo hold for ammo and loot, and an extra high slot for a probe launcher.
On the other hand, the Zealot doesn't use (or uses very little) ammo, has higher dps (only EM/Therm), and can dedicate it's small cargo hold to loot.

on a serious note, i think HACs will be awesome for wormholes, especially the ones that dont need ammo, i.e. Ishtar and Zealot. Sac is cool too. |

Really? I'd bring a carrier. Fill it with a POS, a month worth of fuel and a few ships to rat in. Heck it's even got a corp hangar to throw loot/ammo in. |

Might be worth it just to go scan out ships folks have had to abandon because of podding and never being able to get back into the system

from what i saw in the devblog, the exploration launchers will not need a lot of cpu. was i the only one to get that impression? you WONT need 220 cpu "Exploration probes will not be able to locate ships and drones but will have extremely low fitting requirements" Extremely low does not suggest more than 50 to me. as a result a hac would be excellent. may i point out that an ishtar would be perfect as you will almost certainly need to salvage to maxmise you return (sentries ftw!). Zealot has no spare highs unless you want to sacrifice 20% dps for a salvager? and the sac has one free, but low dps. i personally will prefer a bs for the first month, just because its insurable while i work out what not to do against the new rats. for that, a drone/laser user with free highslots is good, the typhoon being awesome (cruise, salvagers/artillery/med guns for scrammer ships, heavies) and the domi being just as good. |

for all forms of penetration I'd recommend an Iteron (1-5 depending on your preferences)
edit; forgot the hyperion but it's more for wormhole plugging

No, I was about to point this out too, so it shouldn't be that much trouble to fit a wormhole probe to any ship (though presumably one with a utility high would be good as chances are the new probe launcher will still take a high slot).
I would be a little hesitant in taking a T2 ship though - at least until I've seen a bit about what lurks within and what their capabilities are. My first trip through will probably be in a T1 battlecruiser for the insurance aspect. I expect the Harbinger would be good (spare highslot and nonconsumable ammo), as would the Myrmidon potentially (decent amounts of drone space, lots of high for salvagers if you want, active tank might still be better against new NPCs).
Battleships would potentially work as well (in which case Geddon and Domi are almost the perfect analogues to those two BCs) but well, they seem a bit clunky to be taking around an bit of 0.0 with unknown NPCs and delayed mode local... |

I am thinking the Paladin will be the best option for the long range exploration in wormhole space... no need for new ammo, large cargo-hold for t3 goodies to reverse engineer once you get back... I get the feeling I have trained the wrong BS's to 5 |

It's not the size of the boat that counts. It's the motion of the ocean.
Seriously, I'd fit an omni tank with no ammo.. probably a drone boat, really. Passive shield domi?
I wonder if they're going to introduce some way to change fittings out in space? It'd be nice to enter with an omni tank and scout around and then switch to a more specialized tank. |

actually on a non-sexy note (because flying one is proven to be an effective contraceptive) a roqual ("the mobile orgy") with it's lovely, fresh, smooth clones would be useful for slipping into the unknown.

The lot of you need girlfriends.....
Also, I'm thinking passive drake, best cost to tank ratio for the mass IMO, heavy dics mights be worth consideration as PVE ships since they are actually the best tankers for their mass...

I just re-read the dev blog; they say we we will need variations of typical PVP fits
 I missed that! Ugh. Yeah I just got into a HIC myself and that might be another choice despite the anemic dps. But generally speaking, if it's going to be pvp fits that leaves out lolshieldtanking lolCaldari without a gang. 
Gdamn Amarr ftw I guess.

---Wormholes will only allow for limited mass to pass through them.
You will need to bring a group that will allow for max productivity. And that group will need a massive hauling capacity.
This suggests Hac's that don't use ammo and rigged Iteron V's for maxim efficiency.
I would assume that often times Wormholes that lead to really good systems may not always allow for a great deal of mass to cross (oh wait penetrate ) its threshold.
Rinse and repeat.

Do we have any infos about exiting these areas?
Wouldnt be so cool to end up with a small empire based exploration group next in a 0.0 HQ system, or for the -5 guys next to Jita, wouldn't it? |
