Wont the bookmarks become obselete after DT?

Also, where would I sell the bookmarks if I wanted to do such a thing?

No. DT doesn't move or remove exploration sites unless they've passed their 3 day life (3 days from someone initiating warp to the sig).

I think you can contract them. I know for sure you can trade them in a station.

Drag from 'people and places' into your cargo hold. Now the bookmark becomes a physical object, you can contract it like anything else.

How does one sell a bookmark? I tried once when I found a WH in my first few weeks but I couldn't figure it out, I guess you use a contract?

Edit ~ I should have read the whole thread before posting this ...... my bad.

Damn I wish I had known that before. I'm going to start trying to sell those bookmarks on sites I don't feel I can clear and wormholes. Thanks!

What exactly does an explorer play a role in? I am not a "new citizen" by any means, but it is a noob like question. What do they do? How do they make isk? What type of ship do they fly? What skills are basic for an explorer, and what modules do they use?

I am interested in this job, but I need some background knowledge.


If your serious about it, the Pilgrim is the way to go. Covops for safer moves through lo/null sec, good tank to wait for your ECM drones to get you the warp out you need from the pirate who has landed on you while working a site, and great drone bay for clearing rats from a site.

The challenge however is that there are a ton of skills to train, for recon and drones, and its not a cheap ship/fit. Most find that the payouts from site drops ultimately don't cover the risk of losing them. CCP really needs to buff the value of hacking/salvage exploration sites IMHO.

Would you like to know more?
