To the OP. I do exploration and use an Imicus to scan down Sigs etc. I then evaluate the situation using Evelopedia to see what type of ship I need and what I am to expect.

Exploration can be tedious though when you dont find anything for days but then It can change in an hour and you could make 200-300mil+ in one sig. Its how I make my money and keep myself supplied.

I noticed some bookmarks from my early scan training brought me to the middle of nowhere. However some of them were moving if I remember correctly. So the bookmark is probably bringing you to where the anomaly was in relation to the suns gravity. Unless of course the game is not that complex yet and its just despawning.

So basically, the exploration in the tutorial is more a combination of exploration and mission deadspace. Unlike others, it's specially generated when you accept the mission.


To clarify: This isn't quite correct. The starter systems have been specially seeded with these exploration sites. In terms of mechanics and underlying functionality, they operate like exploration sites and not mission sites, meaning they're spawned and distributed independent of the mission system. As an example of this, you can theoretically run each training site before accepting the first mission.

Actually, on that note...that's something we deal with every so often. Since it's possible to run them out of order, we sometimes get people confusing the Gravimetric they're in for a Magnetometric and so on, and have to explain the difference.
