The '''Explorer''' (previously known as the '''Exploration Career Agent''') is one of the five [[Career Agents|career agents]] in the game, which show new players different types of [[EVE Lexicon#PvE|PvE]] activities in EVE. The explorer missions teach you about [[exploration]], [[probe scanning]], [[hacking]], and [[gas cloud harvesting]]. In total these missions pay about 900k ISK in rewards.

''On 2022-07-31 on Singularity this feature is not working, will check TQ to see if it works there''
** The green lines on the sensor ring around your capacitor indicate where Cosmic Anomalies are in relation to where your camera is pointing. Rotate your camera until one of the green lines is at the top (12 o'clock) of the sensor ring. Then move your camera up and down until you find the anomaly in space. Repeat these steps until you find an "Anomaly Training Site".

** Please note, the Probe Scanner window has 2 parts. The main window which can be reduced in size at the top of the screen by pressing the Square inside a Square. This gives you 4 choices. 1 Full screen ( Default Setting ) 2 Dock left 3 Dock Right 4 Floating ( I use floating because you can resize the window and move it.
** The Second part of the window is the actual "Probe Scanner" Window. By hitting the Tiny square inside the square you can "Detach" this screen from the main window and you can keep it open in a small area for easy use. ( I place mine in the upper right corner above my overview.

* The frigate granted to you when accepting the mission is not necessary to complete the rest of the mission chain. However, you can turn it in for [[Industrialist (Producer)#Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10)|Industrialist - Producer mission 10]], and thus it is recommended that you do not lose it if you haven't completed that mission yet.
* The exploration frigate that is given to you as a reward is the preferred ship of choice for exploration in general due to its bonus to scanning and spacious cargohold capacity.
* When you warp to the mission [[deadspace]], an NPC agent named Rulie Isoryn will warp in and give you a guided tour. You need to approach the acceleration gate within 2,500m to activate it and move to the next pocket.
