* 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.~~

* Drops can be very inconsistent. Most of the time you get nothing but any of the sites can drop several hundred million isk worth of loot at once.

~~==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.

=The sites=

Combat sites can be divided to four categories based on how they are found.

* Cosmic anomaly.

** Visible in probe window without scanner.

** Low chance to either contain faction spawn or escalate.

* Cosmic signature

** Needs to be scanned down with probes.

** Unrated has moderate chancec for faction spawn and low chance to escalate.

** DED rated have quaranteed faction spawn that can drop DED modules.

* Expedition

** Escalates from anomalies and unrated signatures.

* Static complex

** Relic of the past and should be mostly ignored.

** Visible beacon on overview that can be warped to.

In addition to these there are occasional in-game events contain combat sites. These sites show up as beacons on the overview and run for limited time.

==Cosmic Anomalies==

Cosmic anomalies are the first type of exploration site, they appear automatically in the ship scanner whenever you enter a system. Cosmic anomalies come in a few varieties; this article deals only with the basic Combat Sites, see [[Cosmic Anomalies]] for a fuller listing.

==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.
