 Please note that there are [[SOP|specific rules]] against most exploration activities while a [[War|wardec]] is active. Clearing [[K-space]] anomalies and signatures is forbidden, as is scanning on an in-corp alt in most cases. Specifically encouraged, however, is scanning for wormholes on an out-of-corp alt and then clearing anomalies inside the wormhole, since this generally requires a good-sized fleet that is ready for PvP and has scouting abilities.
+Advantages:
+* You can start making a significant amount of ISK with only Astrometrics 1 and a good frigate, and more with a combat/salvaging destroyer.
+* There is no need to grind standing up for agents.
+* It can be more exciting to scan things down and do them rather than repeating the same missions over and over again.
+* There is a chance of a faction spawn that might drop really good/expensive loot.
+* For those basic sites, you don't really have to be worried about EWAR. Some frigates will target paint you, which should be taken care of, but there won't be any warp scrambling frigates to worry about.
+Disadvantages:
+* Faction spawns in some of the simplest sites will probably not drop very expensive loot.
+* You have competition - not a lot with the cosmic anomalies, but it gets worse on looting sites (magnetometric/radar) or on combat sites that have to be scanned down. In missions you get your own deadspace pocket (although you can be scanned down in it).
+* To be somewhat effective you should be a few jumps away from the Uni HQ, to reduce the competition from other Unistas, which will reduce your ability to quickly join up with PvP fleets if you want to.
+* After a while, the sites do tend to get repetitive, sometimes as much as missioning.
+* Missions are much more profitable while you stay in hisec.
+==Escalations==
+Sometimes, completing an exploration site will create an escalation. These are like followup missions and usually have a chance to happen if you kill a faction spawn at the end of a site. Sometimes escalations have escalations; the extra escalations usually have a much higher chance to happen than the first. You'll know if you have an escalation by getting a popup window and an entry in the "Expeditions" tab of your journal.
+You'll generally only have 24 hours or so to complete an escalation. When you warp to an escalation site, make sure to make a bookmark, since the bookmark in your journal only marks the system you need to travel to.

-Tips: Just orbit the cruisers at 500m with an afterburner on and they wont hit you at all, kill them last. Approach the 2 destroyers in the 3rd group, kill em quick and get back to orbit. It's way easier than the worst Angel Refuge if you have some practice.
+Strategy: Orbit the cruisers at 500m with an afterburner on and they wont hit you at all, so kill them last. With the third group, approach the two destroyers, kill them quickly, and get back to orbit. This shouldn't be too challenging.

-spawns frigs+destroyers
+Spawns frigates and destroyers, a little more tricky than some of the other anomalies here. Kiting missile frigates are common. Types and numbers may vary.
-now this one is a little more tricky... there are some really different types of spawns.
-some you can do easily with the setup i use for fighting:
-----------
-missile (kill first)
-defense (kill second)
-x rogue
---
-x outlaw
---
-x ruffian
---
-x shatterer (destroyer)
---
-x haunter (destroyer)
-----------
-but you can also get this (or something in between) - this is the worst i got in 20 or more runs:
+*3x Gistii Thug (trigger for group 2)
-you have to warp out and restack shields/cap (or repair armor) if you get these before the fifth wave cause you will be killed otherwise... well i have not seen any EW other than target painting in all my sites so that shouldnt be a problem (no warpscrambler or webber yet, in other words)

 ==Static Complexes==
 Static Complexes are beacons in space, linked to a deadspace encounter, that are always present and don't despawn when completed. The beacons are visible on the overview and the solar system map. There is a nearby Angel complex in Hardbako called 'Angel Creo-Corp Mining'. It will not allow cruisers or larger ships through the first acceleration gate, so is ideal for a new combat pilot. Each gate after that requires a key that is dropped from a guarded structure:
+* Deadspace Syncronization HQ for second room key
+* CreoCorp Main Factory for third room key
+Note that you can only salvage the first room if you come back in a salvager, since you need the keys to progress.
+'''Room 1''' - Spawns frigates and destroyers (open for ships up to destroyer). Most groups aggro on aggression or approach.
+Initial aggro:
+*5x thug
+*1x hijacker
+<br>
+Aggro after first group killed:
+*2x hijacker
+<br>
+*1x hijacker
+*2x outlaw

-you see a popup telling you something, after that you have a location in your journal under the expeditions tab. for me it was 5-15 jumps away usually and gave me 24 hours of time to complete.
-so check your journal under expeditions everytime you had a popup or killed a faction spawn. if you got one:
-#travel to the system
-#warpin to the location
-#BOOKMARK the location or the very first wreck. the bookmark you get in your journal is only for the system! if you leave the site and didnt bookmark something there, you cant go back since once you are in, the bookmark in you journal is gone.
-#youll find one or even more faction spawns there, so it might be well worth the travel time (got a 60mio T2 implant from one of those e.g.)
-#have fun!
-#this time there really is no 6 Razz

-encouraging/discouraging:
-+ you can start making some money here with only Astrometrics1 and a good frig, you can actually make quite some money with a destroyer and another destroyer fitted for salvaging
-+ no need to grind standing up for some agents.

-+ there is a chance of a faction spawn that might drop really good/expensive loot
-+ for those basic sites, you dont really have to be worried about EWar. some frigs are target painting which should be your primaries, but i havent seen any webbers or warp scramblers yet - so its really forgiving mistakes, just like lvl1-2 missions.
-- faction spawns in those "simple" sites wont drop really good things, im not sure if they drop anything good since i only got one spawn
-- you have competition - not alot with the cosmic anomalies, but it gets worse on looting sites (magnetometric/radar) or on combat sites that have to be scanned down
-- to be somewhat effective you should be some jumps away from the uni HQ (less other Unistas hunting for the same stuff)
-- to be really effective you should be far away from the HQ (im 15jumps away and i noticed an increase of 100% to 500% in population in the last 2 weeks, so that might not be far enough Wink
-- this lessens your ability of quickly joining fleets alot!
-- you should have your racial industrial skill at least at 1 - you wont be able to sell anything to a reasonable price in the uncrowded systems you are looking for - hauling to HEK or RENS is the way to go.
-- ...after you have done everything some times its the same grind like missions, too...
-*if you want to make more money out of that for longer than the 2-4 weeks of peace we might get, you will have to go to lowsec or even 0.0, with missions you can stay in hisec
-*there are rats waiting at the lowsec looting sites (salvaging, archaeologoy, hacking) - you need some specialized ships and shouldnt be afraid of losing them
-*missions are more profitable. period.
