EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello,

when I use cargo scan in exploration and find low value or empty can how can I mark it as useless or remove it from overview? Because if many of them in sight I can not remember which I checked and which not.

Francis has the right of it, removing one will remove all ,
Cant remamber the exact keys offhand but you can tag them numericaly, check the keybindings in the esc menu.

You can start a hack and close the window, multiple times, until the can blows up.

Dont be a douchebag and leave sites half-completed, they wont despawn for hours, gimping yours and everyone else income stream.

If you have to skip cans in a site, make sure to fail a hack twice, so they explode and despawn.

There's nothing i hate as much as coming to a site and finding out that someone has already cherrypicked the good containers, leaving the bad ones behind.

Empty your sites, for your own wealths sake, and for everyone else

Though I as a fellow explorer agree completely on this the issue is that EVERYONE have to do this because if they don´t you would only help others without getting anything in return by not cherrypicking.

With that said I always clean my sites out since it feels rude to gimp other players just to save a few minutes of hacking. By doing this I also don´t need to use the Cargo Scanner which leaves room for a more *fun* mod in that slot.

So if I get ganked spending extra time in a site hacking an empty container, you're going to reimburse my scanning ship, right?

OP, this is the best way I've found to do it: when you arrive in a new site, immediately lock up all the containers and scan them. Unlock the containers with garbage loot, and hack the remainder.

The main issue players have early on when it comes to targetting ability is that they have been told to fit warpcore stabilizers which makes their targetting range suck. In my opinion warcore stabs aren´t good for exploration, atleast not on a otherwise cheap T1-frigate, and that's both because of the mentioned horrible targetting AND more importantly that they give a false sense of safety for the player fitting them.

Agree 100 % on the cherrypicking though.

The only time it's really necessary to fit a cargo scanner for exploring is for ghost sites when time is of the utmost importance.

The best way to do it is to hack the rubble cans last as they usually contain the lowest value loot, most of the time

If there is a threat of someone catching and attacking you than you are ninja-ing the site anyway...unless your dumb enough to try to do high sec sites with a wardec. But while you may think you are making more profit, your delaying the respawns of sites which means fewer sites to run which means you spend more time hunting for sites and less time looting them and it means you have more competition for those sites. So is it more profitable to cherry pick? Nope, all your doing is making it harder for you and everyone else. But go on and partially run then. People like to work harder than what is necessary for their money.
