** As mentioned previously, you’ll need these to access the loot structures in any Relic or Data Sites you find while exploring. You will definitely want both, and the vanilla Tech I version works perfectly fine at entry level.

** When you arrive at an exploration site, you'll find multiple structures to analyze. Which one should you hack first? A Cargo Scanner will also tell you which structures in an exploration site have the most valuable loot, in advance. This becomes extraordinarily important if you get into a situation in which you’re competing with another explorer for the loot!

While the above three are “core” modules for running exploration sites, you are also strongly recommended to fit your ship with a 1MN Microwarpdrive module to make travel to and around scanned areas much easier. This makes a total of four mid slot modules—one more than the Amarr Magnate can slot. If you’re piloting one of those, you’ll have to make occasional decisions about which of these four modules to leave back at the station. In most situations, you’ll leave behind the Cargo Scanner or Microwarpdrive, but if you know for a fact that you'll only be exploring one type of site (Relic or Data), you can always temporarily forgo the Analyzer of the type that you won’t need.
