to make it short, I want to explore lowsec/nullsec and just explore eve's universe instead of sitting in hisec all day

i can fly a buzzard and fit cloaking, perfect fitting skills etc...


what would be the minimum skills needed to effectively run non-combat sites such as relics or datas etcs

would the skills at 4 w/ faction gear be good for scanning and hacking/analyzing these things?

Min skills required are: covt ops frig and covt ops cloak*

*Next patch, the SoE frig//cruiser will be nice too, but with cloaking delay requires more attention. Plus you still need cloaking IV. Then again, any SB or other exploring frig you may encounter will go poof easy to your SoE cruiser.

If you go into null without a covt ops/cloak, well, you will run into bubbles and gatecamps and you will have a very hard time without it. MWD cloak trick only takes you so far in a bubble ...

Relic/Data analyzer Is are just fine, and if you have half a brain you should be able to complete at least half of the cans. You should get the two rigs for relic/data too.

These people above me are somewhat nuts.

I have been exploring in nullsec since I started playing EVE about 6 weeks ago, and only just recently got into a Buzzard.

What you ACTUALLY need:

Racial Frigate to 4 -- recommended Gallente or Caldari as they have 5 mid slots
Astrometrics to 4
Astrometric Rangefinding, Pinpointing, and Acquisition to 2
Archaeology to 3 (get to level 4 ASAP)
Hacking to 3 (or even 2 -- Data sites are not that great)

This works out to about 300,000 SP in scanning.

Cloaking to 1 (for the prototype cloak)

Make sure your base sensor strength is at least 75. If you get it to 90 (this is usually only easily doable once you get your Racial Frigate to 5) you can do Crystal Quarry relic sites....With 75, you can do everything except those.

T1 Nullsec Explo Fit:
Prototype Cloak
Core Probe Launcher

Relic Analyzer I
Data Analyzer I
PL0 Shipment Probe (its the cargo scanner that is better than the regular one)
MWD
Scannning Rangefinding Array

2x Warpcore Stabalizer
or
2X Nanofiber

Rigs:
Either +Scan strength rigs if they are needed to hit 90 scan strength, or +relic coherence rigs if you can hit your 90 sweet spot without.

Implants:
There are a few useful implants for exploration
+6% Scan Strength implant is only ~30m
+5s timer on exploded cans is only ~30m
And +5 relic coherence implant is only ~30m.

Get them when you can....If the scan strength implant allows you to fit an extra relic strength rig, its worth it. It can pay for itself in 1 can. Same for the others.
