OP: there's a help channel for just such questions.

Open your local tab --> top right there's a chat box (as if from a Garfield strip) --> Scroll to System Channels --> Click it --> Find "Help (English)" --> Click join --> ask question in new window.

Just FYI, if you're doing exploration combat sites, 99.9% of the ISK is in getting faction or deadspace loot. (IMHO) the only wrecks worth salvaging and looting are the commander/overseer/"boss" wrecks.

Stop giving bad advice. While the "boss" is a nice thing to loot and salvage, the entire rest of the site can net you the components for at least a small rig in the low end sites.


Exploration, especially in hi-sec, is all about blitzing sites, the slower you are the less isk you make... if you are salvaging you are doing it wrong, you would be better of running missions.

Stop saying that. This is the reason high security systems don't have many exploration sites available other than w-holes and Drone sites.

Also for a new player, salvaging the wrecks is definitely a must. They don't have the skills or the equipment to quickly scan and 'Blitz' exploration sites.

I use to only salvage medium and large wrecks. However, now I just launch Salvage Drones and let them do their thing while I'm checking wrecks for high meta level loot. By the time I'm done checking the loot, the Salvage Drones are usually close to being done as well.

I'd just like to point out:
· If people blitz sites, they'll respawn sooner, giving someone else a chance at running them, meaning more sites around.
· If someone sits and loots and salvages a site, it'll take longer to respawn, meaning less sites around for other people.

I find salvage drones are just as quick by the time you've warped around. I guess it depends how much you want to wring out the ISK/hour.

I'd just like to point out that it doesn't matter if the site takes longer to re-spawn due to looting and salvaging the wrecks since the site isn't going to re-spawn near by anyway. There's no way a new explorer with minimal skills and stock equipment can blitz sites. They're better off looting and salvaging everything that's available in the site.
