OP - Try an isolated area of highsec. The systems Ala, Ney, Steggete and Odotte (the last two require you to transit through Fasse, a very safe lowsec system) are all quite out of the way and probably are not overfished.

Once you get confident with lowsec, try the Solitude region - its lowsec area is very quiet.


Thanks I will definitely try this route! I appreciate your help people!


After going to the four areas you suggested I only found combat sites. I made about 18 jumps to another low sec area, found a worm hole, jumped in, and found a data center. I was like hell yes so I went there as soon as possible. It turns out that my virus was too weak to do anything, and right when I decided to leave, some dude destroyed me and I died. :/ (it was a -1 security place btw).

Please donate generously. (and get me into a corp)

UPDATE: AYEEE I HACKED A DATA SYSTEM! I MADE IT MA! (and ~1.2m worth of isk...)


If you want a corp join BNI . You can home up in GE-8JV which has buyback programs and herons (no need to go to high sec) and then explore stain ; the first few systems in the catch/stain pipe are camped but they start getting deserted quite fast. A site may have 60 mil + isk but I get 2-3 mil for a data site and a lot more for relic sites

Keep in mind the WH's classes 1 - 3 will spawn Null relic and data sites. This risk is higher but the rewards are well worth the effort for the serious explorer. As you are exploring the backwoods of New Edens high and lowsec, take the time to learn to identify the different WH class by appearance and description.
The Null relic and Data sites are easily distinguished from the sleeper sites: Just look for the name of the pirate faction in the title. These sites do not contain rats. The only danger is from that of your fellow players.

Again, well worth the effort for the willing and daring. Dscan, dscan dscan! Bookmark the return WH.

Can anyone explain this? I thought I had to align the ship, and that is where the dscan looked. Is Nick saying it's where the screen is looking at? And why would you use the fins for sights? ELI5

It is where the screen is pointing not your ship. However, you don't need to manually aim anymore, just have auto center on so that the screen aligns to anything you click on.

Signatures have varying strengths, depending on what they are. It's not as simple as wormholes are weaker than data/relic however, it depends on the type of wormhole and type of data/relic, etc.


Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Smile One thing I did notice is that generally speaking, the harder something is to scan down, the higher the likelihood of the site having better loot.

Confirming that that D-scan is using "your view" as a relation to where to scan, not the direction your ship is facing.


So if you are looking over your ship towards the right and you scan at a 5 degree angle, you are scanning the 5 degree to your right of the ship...

Problem with that sentiment is that it's common knowledge the harder/more dangerous doing X in EVE, the bigger the payout. Now what I won't tell you is the way I devised to nab those annoying sites you normally don't have the skills/probe strength to access. Blink
