{{Exploration links}}

If you want to engage in [[Exploration]] you want a character with the appropriate skills. This page provides skill plans for such a character.

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.

Level 2 of these skills allows use scanning upgrades (Scan Pinpointing Array I, Scan Rangefinding Array I, Scan Acquisition Array I), which gives advantages equal one level of appropriate skill name.

*Advanced exploration skills:

** [[Skills:Electronic_Systems#Cloaking|Cloaking]]: Skill at using Cloaking devices (allows the use of cloaking devices). 10% reduction in targeting delay after uncloaking per skill level.

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.

*The ''starter exploration'' plan (2 days):  

*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

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''.
