EVE New Citizens Q&A

What part of hisec are you in? I found recently that the area around Apanake is pretty full of sites. I was going ot bring a heron down there but have not yet. You really should get tech 1 analyzers though. The civilian ones are bad.

Hi-sec exploration is probably the least lucrative due to the high competition you face for sites. Try moving away from market hubs and heavy traffic areas to quieter systems, but really to find more valuable sites you probably want to go out of highsec.

You could also try going into some of those wormholes:

Genesis part seems good. maybe around SoE territory then.

Read about some ECM (?) drones that could buy you some extra seconds if somebody jumps you.
Inside wormhole.

Also, lose the civilian modules. They are only useable in the tutorials and career agents. They won't work in real exploration sites.

Im so noob you wouldnt know. Babysteps here, tryin to soak in
info from around. Looks so easy on Youtube and whatnot.

As many have pointed out, will upgrade modules.

It's high sec. And just as overcrowded and milked dry high sec is, low and null are nearly empty and going to waste.

Get out of high sec and problem solved. Use your D-Scan....that's about all it takes. If something is in-bound, you warp out, cloak, whatever. Most of the time there will be no one for miles.
Fly something cheap so losing it doesn't matter- an evening raiding sites in null sec will pay for several ships.

Better yet, build up some skills and a small fleet. That way you can make use of whatever you scan down. Gas sites, Wormholes, combat sigs, etc. I ran relic/data sites for awhile but kept a gas huffing Venture handy for when I found a wormhole. It was just a side hobby to the content I was looking for...but broke up the boredom when I hit a dry spell.

A cloaking device is a very nice tool to have. However it is not required and certainly not an "absolute need". It just allows you to be lazier but if you learn how to make safe spots and learn how to use D scan you certainly can scan down an entire wormhole system from a safe spot, without a cloak.

One thing that I used to do when feeling overly paranoid is that I would make several safe spots on opposite sides of the solar system and then I would warp around between them and do my scanning while in warp. But if you just make a safe spot and then watch D scan you should be fine to sit in one spot.

Keep in mind that you will loose ships. When I say safe I am speaking in relative safety. However with wormhole income you should be able to more than afford the ship losses. If the cost of replacing is a ship is keeping your from exploring wormholes then send me an in game mail and I'll buy a handful of Heron's for you an contract them to you at the market hub of your choosing.

Oh, one question to all you who suggested fittings.

Why isnt afterburner better?

Warpdrive gives huge signature and seems that
warpdisrupters are common in wormholes?

Wormhole colours older (circa 2014) but perhaps useful
