What do I need to complete exploration sites in wormholes?

Currently I have been doing low-sec exploration for my main income, and since I don't think I will be doing anything else but possibly combat sites (as well as exploration sites) in the future, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in doing wormhole exploration since I hear you can make quite a bit. But, unfortunately I know very little about how much more you could make in these sites and what you need to run these sites in general. I once ventured into wormhole space and scanned down a site and get destroyed by sleepers. :(

What do I need to run these sites other than the basic exploration modules?

you can only do the sleeper sites if you have some kind of heavy combat ship.

The pirate sites in do not require any different things than low sec, however they are harder to hack.

When you say pirate sites do you mean normal, unguarded data and relic sites? How rare are these two sites? What kind of wormholes are they found in?

Are they more rewarding than low/null?

they are the same sites found in null, they are named after pirate factions (guristas/serpentis etc).

They are unguarded.

As for rarity, it's hit and miss just like anywhere else.

My tips for finding a lot of them:

1. Don't start in high sec, everyone else will be doing the same thing
2. Further you go down a chain the less people (usually) will have been there before.

these sites only spawn in c1-3 wormholes.

Some of the sleeper data and relic sites don't actually have any sleepers in them, they are probably found in the lower class wormholes and are not as lucrative.

If they have the same loot than sites in low/null is there even a point?

Sites in low and null have different loot. Null is better. WHs have null sites. Null sites are not sleeper sites. Sleeper sites have sleepers and the isk comes from salvage not the cans. Make sense? How many times folks?


P.S. Don't post bad info. Folks are confused enough.

Makes sense, yes. Thanks


BUT. What about the sites in Holes that don't have sleepers

C1-C3 systems will spawn relic and data sites without sleepers in them. Those are the same sites that can be found in nullsec. All sites home to w-space only will have sleeper rats in them.

Pretty sure any sig thats scanned down with the word 'perimeter' in its name is a sleeper site and will have sleeper npc's in it. Data and relic sites with any pirate faction name will be the same as if you found them in npc null sec. Another thing is pirate faction sites are easier to scan down compared to their null sec duplicates.
