Wormholes

Hi guys,

First of all I’m a new player in Eve for about a week.
I already play the game last year but not for long.

I like exploration and I would like to make more money from this job.
I started in high sec during a day but I went directly in low sec to find more interesting loots.

Now I’d like to go in wormhole. I’m actually flying with a Magnate wich I don’t mind losing because it’s very cheap and I have enough money to replace it easily.

I will have enough skills to have an anathema in a few days and I would like to use it to go deeper in space 

My main question is : is there safe sites in C1, C2 or C3 wormholes where I can find data or relic sites without pirates ?

I won’t be able to fight against anything because I don’t even fit weapond on my exploration ships.
I wanted to buy an astero for exploration. Mainly because this ship is f*****g sexy in my opinion. But I don’t think I know the game enough to not loosing it stupidly so I’d rather go on an cheaper covops.

In case there is pirates, is AStero enough to fight them or not ?

Thank you for your answers and sorry for my english. It’s not my native language and it’s a bit hard to talk about a game I don’t know, in another language .

By and fly safe.

Be advised that EVE is a pvp game and inside WHs are many other folks that will try and blow you up. Learn to use D-Scan and stay on your toes. WHs are some of the most dangerous areas in EVE for the daytripper or one not versed in the gameplay.

The most "safe" sites are in high sec....but even there some asshat may try and bait you into a fight.

Hi and thanks for the answers.

I'm gonna look for those sites without pirates as soon I my covops cloak skills will be available.

I know even without pirates, players are biggest threat. But I like this side of the game. Even if I can't defend myself I like being the little noob lost in the universe trying to make his way and surviving.

I always align to something, always cloaking, and always scanning :)

Now I will look for those {name} date/relic sites and I will explore them :)

I died twice with my Magnate wich is not a big deal considering the cost.

Now that I have my cloak device I'm ok, but a covops cloak would be better (and a MWD!)

Considering the fact that I subscribed with the offer a few days ago, and a friend sell the plex he won.
I have half a billion in my wallet and I'm considering buying an astero to wait until I have enough skill to fly with a covops.

Do you think it is a good idea? Or waiting for covops is wiser because I don't have enough experience to not lose the astero?
(I have already the mastery 1 on this ship).
Or should I already try to go in nulsec with my magnate during the learning of covops skill?

Again thanks for the answer :)

Also keep in mind those cloaked smart-bombing prots closing from 10km

Fitting the Astero for combat is the right way, it will make short work of a SB, who is able to scram you, and any other exploration frig. A smart bomb is an area of effect weapon killing you if you are in it's proximity (no lock required).

You have to decide, being able to fight (no warp core stabs) or being able to run better only (4 stabs plus 2 nozzles in rigs). Both at the same time is not possible for reason, even one stab will cripple your fighting capabilities too much (reduced locking speed and range). Though you may combine with refitting the low slots via NPC station or mobile depot. Smartbombs are highslot modules as any other ship weapon (not to be confused with actual bombs from bomb launchers). The ships using them (T3 Cruisers, so no chance of fighting in a frig) sneak on you cloaked and if in range (around 6km), decloak and unleash hell on you if you are an untanked explorer.

What I can tell you, being the hunter feels much better than being the prey. ;) ...also the tactics you develop help you to survive on the other side.

Hi Lagertha!

I wouldn´t recommend it to fight with an Astero - it´s only a little Frig and way to expensive to lose it against NPCs or (better PvP-experienced) players.

The Astero is really good for exploration, it´s fast and sexy.
I fitted it 100% for speed and agility, try to avoid ANY fight.

Instead of a Microwarpdrive I installed an Afterburner, because the MWD increases the signature radius (which makes you faster to lock and hit).
Instead of a Warpcorestab I installed some Nanofiber Internal Structures, because the stabs reduce the tracking range (which makes you very ineffective in data/relic sites).
And, of course, some propulsion RIGs.

And I launch a bunch of Hornet EC-300 in aggressive mode during hacking the sites, which maybe give you a few seconds in addition, when a hunter shows on the grid...


If you wanna explore and fight, I would recommend the Stratios with an armor tank fitting and some tough combat drones.
I saw such a Stratios blowing up a High-DPS-Tengu...
