o7 Everyone

(sry for bad engrish, im french)

Gallente omega 3 week old corpless clone here, interested in data/relics site and discovered that highsec wormhole were filled with alot more anomalies than regular solar systems. Therefore having the idea of mainly farming wormholes sites. I however encountered hostiles npcs that moved pretty fast and didnt got the chance of testing how the 3 drones from my heron ship would do against them, as their DPS were pushing me to wrap away in a hurry.

All of this resulting in me having multiples questions:

1) Are there any good wormholes related link concerning the stages of which a wh is disappearing? (as well as c1-c6 types)
2) Is it more or equaly profitable to farm sites in wormholes than it is in null sec? (as it feels safer)
3) Minimum exploration skills to hack wh sites
4) Which ship (probably astero) is better to take out thoses npcs and what fit exactly? As this will give me a better idea of what skills to lvl for ships equipment.

Thanks in advance for answering any of the above questions.

The NPCs in wormholes are called Sleepers and it is unlikely you will defeat them with a few drones..

Your English seems fine to me.

If exploration is your goal, stick to nullsec. Wormholes have 2 types of exploration sites:

1. Sleeper sites (which is what you found) - you make the majority of your money from killing the sleepers, not the loot from the cans. It takes a combat fit ship to run those sites. A Heron can't do it. The level of difficulty depends on the class of wormhole you're in. These are combat sites more than they're exploration sites.

2. Nullsec exploration sites - these are identical to what you find in nullsec and are the only ones you can run in a Heron.

Wormholes are a complicated topic, but they DO NOT offer better exploration loot than nullsec. Use wormholes to traverse in and out of null to avoid gate camps, but stick to the exploration sites in null.

An Astero is a perfect ship for nullsec exploration though.

Ok, then i should use wormholes to get into null sec to avoid gate camp. hm, sounds tricky haha, are there some kind of wormhole map existing? or its just random?

It's random, but they're not super rare. I seem to find plenty of low sec to null connections. There are other options if you're unsuccessful.

You could route through Thera. That is, use a high sec or low sec wormhole to Thera, then a Thera wormhole to null. Signal Cartel keeps a public list of the signatures: https://www.eve-scout.com/thera/

Thera can be dangerous, though.

I believe Wingspan sells chain information, but I have no idea how much it costs for a simple H->N, and whether they can be trusted. Here it is anyway: http://www.torpedodelivery.com/wormhole-location/

Totally random. However, you CAN just fly there. You simply have to be careful at border crossings from high to low and low to null. Skilling into an Astero with a covops cloak makes it a bit easier.
