Thanks all for the tips and advice. I didn't have much time this weekend but I did get into null sec. I didn't have time for much exploration. I quickly learned that I should be setting bookmarks for gates so I don't hit any warp bubbles. Most of my time there was spent creating bookmarks and just checking things out. Maybe I was lucky but I didn't run into any trouble. I was cloaked most of the time though.

Thanks again and I'll see you in null sec!

That's actually a good thing.


Be prepared, now next time you can "focus" on the exploration part as you already have set the bookmarks.

If I know I will frequent a certain area of low-sec / null-sec, I usually take 1 or 2 days just to set my bookmarks.

Yes, this bookmarking practice is excellent and will save your butt many many times.

Choose your region to explore in ... Sansha and Blood Raider local pirate areas currently give much better relic loot than the other fractions.

My corp isn't in null but I want to do some exploration out there.

I fly an Astero with covert ops. I set bookmarks in every system I go to, several AU from anything. I always align to something. I watch local constantly and use d-scan, especially when sitting there hacking.

Can I walk into null sec with these practices and not die or do I have a lot to learn still? What can I do to get better?

Expect to loose your Astero. So better use a cheap T1 exploration fit until you know most of the mechanics in null sec (drag bubbles, interdictors camping a gate and so on).

If you are alone (or relativly safe) in a system make perches on the gates. These are bookmarks usually 150-300km above or below a gate. You can use them later when you travel through the system again and warp to them instead of the gate to see if the gate is safe and then warp down to the gate.


And the most important one don't steal my relic sites ;)
