I recently have been having problems finding my exploration sites. I keep finding wormholes after wormholes and so far have scanned down around maybe 45-50 wormholes, instead of exploration sites. I scanned for a good 4 hours one day, 3 hours the previous day, and a few hours afterwards, and cannot seem to find a single exploration site. I do not know if it is because of the region I am in, but i am sure that is not the case. Can someone please help me?

Which region are you in?

I suppose it's worth checking your scan filters and making sure that you have professional sites checked. Otherwise, sometimes that's how luck runs.

That too. Nothing like filtering the entire K162 band in a single scan.

You realise that wormholes are FULL of radar and magnetometric sites right? They even have LADAR sites!

What's wrong with wormholes? Dive in, clean the system and come home with a few billions.

I personally dont have the experience nor the skills to go WH exploring.

Im aware. I lived in a WH for 2 weeks, and found a few sites.

I have my scan filters set for radar mag and i believe unknown. But, im in a serpentis region and yeah, cant find anything. Suprising, an hour later after i made this forum, i found a mag site with 121k of loot. How stressful?

Scanning high sec is a complete waste of time. It can be profitable if you're extremely lucky once in a blue moon but usually you'll find nothing. Explorers shouldn't be afraid to scan low sec at the least.

tl;dr: Leave hi sec

I'm confused.

Let me explain:
1) Unknown space = massive profit?
2) Live in unknown for 2 weeks.
3) Keep dying to sleepers
4) Podded
5) Too dangerous, I can't do it, live in high

I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it.

1. Drop single combat probe.
2. Set probe to max range of 64 au to cover entire system (if system is larger, drop more combat probes, position them to cover the system, but do NOT enable more than one at a time when scanning). Deep space probe is better (256 au).
3. Scan.
4. Sort signatures by strength, smallest to largest.
5. Notice that there are typically 3 bands of strengths: small, medium (2x small), large (2x medium).
6. Wormholes primarily occupy the "large" band (there are exceptions), radar and grav occupy the "small" band.
7. It is handy to keep a log of the sites you scan and their one-probe signal strengths (use the in-game notepad).

For example, my log from w-space:

Of course you will get different signal strengths with different skills and equipment than I used. Just notice that sites of the same kind tend to be in the same signal strength band.

This is untrue. I've considered it but apparently soloable WHs aren't a profitable use of time. You might make a few million but that's it.
