It's engaging, challenging, and not very skill-intensive. It also works well during my usual late-USTZ playtime, when the fewest players are online and low-sec systems are at their emptiest. Although you can use a variety of different ships to do low-sec explo, my favorite is the Heron. | ||
I've cleared so many low-sec systems of data and relic sites that I've developed a sort of method for running them. Here's that method, step-by-step: | |||
1. Take the gate into your low-sec system of choice. | |||
2. In the PodSaver tab, right click on any planet, and "Warp to 70 km". I recommend | |||
3. AS YOU BEGIN ACCELERATING TO WARP, launch your probes at the gate. | |||
4. As soon as you land at Planet Whatever, begin cloak. | |||
5. D-Scan in the PvP tab, if there are others in system. Do some background work on those characters. | |||
6. Switch to Solar System Map and do your anomaly scanning. As you find sites, right click on each and save it as a bookmark. "Ignore" WH's, Gas Sites, & Combat Sites as you find them to remove them from your Anomaly listing. | |||
7. Once you've identified/scanned every site, start running them (Data sites first). Data sites can take up as much as 200 m3 of cargo space--make sure you have room. Relics don't take up as much space. | |||
8. When you arrive at a site, if you are farther than 10 km from the closest can, Approach it and pulse your MWD once. Once you get within ~9 km, Stop your Ship. | |||
9. You can start codebreaking when you are within 5 km, but you must be within 2.5 km to open the can. You might end up Stopping your Ship *while* you are hacking! | |||
10. Go to the next one. If there is anyone else in system, I try to keep my Overview set to the PvP tab, and check DScan periodically. | |||
