The level of the exploration skills a capsuleer have, can have a large effect on the succes of exploration expeditions.   
If you want to engage in [[Exploration]] you want a character with the appropriate skills. This page provides skill plans for such a character.
 
These skills can be found under '''[[Skills:Scanning|Scanning]]''' on the skill-tab on the character sheet.


As a side note: Usually, players train those skills to a decent level on their first character. But advanced players often have a dedicated scanning character. Especially, inhabitants of wormhole space do so to scan their other characters back into their wormhole if they are podded out. In fleet fights combat prober can also provide warp-ins which are usually scanned by a dedicated combat prober. As this character does not do anything for most of the fight it is common that a player multiboxes the combat prober.

This page contains 3 different skill plans, each focusing on how much you want to dedicate yourself to exploration. With some skills you can find an additional note that indicates why this skill is useful. If no notes are present, the skills give a an increase in modifiers mentioned above. All the training times stated in these skill plans are '''''without the use of implants or attribute remaps'''''. Additionally these skill plans are based off a completely new character, so it might be possible that you already trained some of the required skills.

Anyone who has no experience in exploration but would like to know more is advised to train this skill plan. It has a relatively short training time and contains all the crucial skills to get started. It will allow you to fit the required equipement needed and to scan down and loot most High-Security sites effecively and to get some exploration experience.

*The ''intermediate exploration'' plan (14 days):  
People who have a good understanding of exploration, and would like to dedicate a decent percentage of their time to it are advised to train this skill plan. The intermediate exploration plan requires that the starter exploration plan is already trained. Training this plan will allow you to scan down and loot most of the 'Known-space' sites and if you know what you are doing even some faction sites in 'Wormhole space'. Note that these skill plans exclude sleepers sites, because they are focused on the racial ''tech I'' and ''covert ops'' frigate

The starter exploration plan is a plan for people who do not know much about exploration, but are intrigued by the concept and want to start a basic career in exploration to see if they enjoy it. The skill plan is a very short train (2 days) but the skills learned are adequate to perform and learn the basic exploration mechanics. For the starter exploration plan all skills are mandatory if you want optimal results, but if you want to change the training order, feel free to do so.

With the new [[Starting skills]] you already have the skills to start right away (except for the frigate skill).

This plan is meant for players who, after learning starter exploration plan, decided to continue with exploration as a possible career path. This skill plan takes quite a bit longer then the starter plan and should be considered if you plan to spend a decent amount in exploration. After this skill plan you should be able to explore almost all high and low security and the easiest null security sites. This plan focuses on training more specific exploration skills and work best with your racial exploration ship. Hacking IV and Archeology IV are not explicitly required but can make your life hacking cans a bit easier. If you plan to dedicate a part of your EVE career to exploration i suggest training these skills before you start the master exploration skill plan.

Following links contain the skill plans for the different stages of exploration skills. The skill plans can easily be imported into EVEMon. If you want to train the intermediate or master skill plan, you will see that the previous skill plans will also be included to make up for any required skills. These skill plans are made for Minmatar characters but can easily converted to other races by swapping out the ''Minmatar Frigate skill'' for your respective ''Racial Frigate skill''.
