[[Exploration]] is a broad category of activities that mostly have to do with searching for and acquiring various items of value that can be sold to other EVE players. Acquiring these items may involve combat, explosions, and puzzle solving. Exploration is not as organized as mission running, nor as consistently productive as mining, but it can provide considerable excitement and may produce extremely valuable loot. | [[Exploration]] is a broad category of activities that mostly have to do with searching for and acquiring various items of value that can be sold to other EVE players.
