New Eden is vast and contains many secret sites with hidden valuables. ~~Exploration is about tracking down those~~ sites.

New Eden is vast and contains many secret sites with hidden valuables, as well as [[Wormholes|wormholes]]. Explorers probe out such sites and wormholes and hunt through them for valuables.

===~~Exploration and hacking~~===

===Scanning===

Players can use their onboard scanner together with a probe launcher to scan down ~~[[Cosmic Anomalies~~]] and ~~[[Cosmic Signatures]]~~. These will contain either groups of pirate NPCs, resources ~~like~~ gas clouds or asteroid belts, ~~hackable~~ containers with loot or wormholes. ~~Hacking~~ and archaeology ~~involve~~ a ~~mini-game to break into the container~~. Lower security areas tend to yield the most valuable loot and resources~~, but players are vulnerable when doing exploration which is why it's best to use a ship that can cloak~~. Exploration is easy to ~~get started with~~ and can be a ~~potentially lucrative~~ source of income, especially for a new player. [[~~Wormhole sites~~]] are a more advanced ~~form of~~ exploration ~~in more hostile space~~.

Players can use their onboard scanner together with a probe launcher to [[Probe_scanning|scan down]] cosmic anomalies and signatures. These will contain either groups of pirate NPCs, resources such as gas clouds or asteroid belts which can be mined, secure containers or ruins with loot in them, or wormholes.

Ruins and secure containers can be opened using archaeology and hacking skills in a [[hacking]] minigame. Lower-security areas tend to yield the most valuable loot and resources.

[[Exploration]] is easy to begin, requiring little ISK investment and only basic skills. There is an element of random chance in the contents of each site, but exploration sites can be a good source of income, especially for a new player. Exploring in dangerous systems or in [[wormholes]] teaches useful situational awareness skills, and the probing techniques used to scan sites down are transferable into combat probing for PvP. Seasoned explorers might want to try living permanently in wormhole space.

{{euninote|Eve University members can practise exploration at any of the university's campuses. Exploration will be more lucrative, but potentially also more dangerous, at the [[Low-Sec Campus]] and the [[Null-Sec Campus]]. The [[Wormhole Campus]] revolves around long-term, advanced exploration-driven PvE and PvP.}}

Each time a player or NPC ship explodes it ~~drops~~ a wreck. The wreck sometimes contains loot, but the wreck itself can also be salvaged for useful parts. Salvaging enable a player to collect those parts with a view to either selling them or processing them [[rigs]] for ships. Salvaging can be a profitable side career, normally alongside either mission running or ~~PVP. Salvaging is quick~~ to ~~train into~~ and can ~~be done by a new player, often as part of a~~ mission ~~fleet~~. The salvage is normally split between the fleet members, so it can be a good income for relatively little effort. Players can use tractor beams to pull wrecks towards them for faster salvaging, and there a is even a specialised ship, the [[Noctis]]. Alternatively, players can use a [[Mobile Tractor Unit]] which collects the wrecks in one place.

Each time a player or NPC ship explodes, it leaves a wreck. The wreck sometimes contains loot, but the wreck itself can also be salvaged for useful parts. Salvaging enable a player to collect those parts, with a view to either selling them or processing them into [[rigs]] for ships.

Salvaging can be a profitable early side career, normally alongside either mission running and/or PvP (to create wrecks) and/or industry (to use the salvaged parts). New players can also tag along with mission fleets to help with salvaging. The salvage is normally split between the fleet members, so it can be a good income for relatively little effort, with low character skill requirements.
