The basic skills for exploration are now (as of [[Expansions#Ascension|Ascension]]) part of the starting skill set, and indeed cannot be trained further (except for Racial Frigate IV) without upgrading clone state to Omega. New pilots can now fit and undock in a basic exploration frigate, and begin probing and data mining on day one of their careers. | The basic skills for exploration are now (as of [[Expansions#Ascension|Ascension]]) part of the starting skill set, and indeed cannot be trained further (except for Racial Frigate IV) without upgrading clone state to Omega.

Nonetheless, for pilots who ''do'' have Omega status, the rewards of additional training are considerable: additional training in the probing skills will greatly reduce the time required to scan down a signature, and the increases in virus strength and coherence gained by training the data-mining skills can make it much less likely that the pilot will fail a hack once the site has been reached. Training [[Cloaking]] allows the pilot to probe signatures in relative safety and (at level IV) to fit the Improved cloak and thus use the [[Cloak trick]] to increase the chances of successfully making it to market with the loot. | |||
