Explorer: Difference between revisions

Fit a ship (e.g. your shiny new frigate) with a Core Probe Launcher and a Civilian Data Analyzer, and load Core Scanner Probes into your probe launcher (drag them onto the fitted probe launcher in the fitting window). Normally it's a better idea to use an exploration frigate for, well, exploration, but for the purposes of this tutorial any ship will do.  

Undock and launch your probes (click on the probe launcher), then open the Probe Scanner window and the Star Map ({{button|CTRL}}+{{button|F10}}, or use the "Map" button on the NeoCom), and resize the windows so that you can see both at the same time. Don't forget to reset the filter on your Probe Scanner window to show Cosmic Signatures. Next, [[Exploration#Probing_Down_an_Exploration_Site|position your probes around the solar system and scan]] (this is probably best explained in a video, such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wErCHjNTsRA this one from Wingspan]) until you find a Data Training Site. Once you've resolved the signature to 100%, warp to it (by right-clicking on the signature in the Probe Scanner window).  

Once inside the site, look for a "Training Container", approach and target it, and activate your Civilian Data Analyzer module. This will start the [[hacking]] minigame: explore the board by clicking on the green circles until you find the System Core. Once you've disabled the System Core, you can open the container and loot its contents. Recover your probes (there's a button for it in the Probe Scanner window) and return to your agent's station - even though this happens automatically when you dock, it's still a good habit to get into.
