[[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.

The [[Wormhole Campus]] revolves around long-term, advanced exploration-driven PvE and PvP.}}

Pilots with the resources and resourcefulness necessary can set up bases in a wormhole system, exploiting the system's resources for PvE and mining, and using the randomly-generated connections to other systems to find more resources and opportunities for PvP combat.

The probing skills and knowledge of [[Wormholes|wormhole mechanics]] gained from scanning transfer well to this more advanced flavour of exploration. Wormhole life tends to involve some of many aspects of ~~Eve~~: PvE and PvP combat, small-scale [[Careers#Manufacturing|manufacturing]] and [[Careers#Hauling|transport work]] all built on a core set of scanning skills. Because the destinations of the wormholes that open up are randomly determined, life in a wormhole system changes from each day to the next, providing fresh experiences and challenges that some capsuleers relish.

Asteroid belts spawn throughout New Eden, and they must be mined to feed EVE's player economy. In addition to asteroids, players can use specialised equipment to mine ice from ice belts and harvest gas from gas clouds.

The mined ore, ice and gas can either be sold in its raw form, or refined into minerals. In general, rarer and more valuable resources are found in lower security space, with very valuable mining possible in nullsec and wormholes. Miners exploiting resources in low- or null-security space and in wormholes can use cunning to avoid detection (sometimes called "ninja-mining"), or they can join the player groups who own most of nullsec and who live in some wormholes.

Line 291:

The combination of these two facts means that it is sometimes profitable for players to blow up hauling ships, accept the loss of their own ship(s), and then loot the hauler wrecks for valuables worth much more than the ships they lost. This is informally known as "suicide ganking".

Suicide ganking is a legitimate activity within the game rules of ~~Eve~~ Online. Some corporations and alliances--including ~~Eve~~ University--ban their members from doing it; other groups specialize in it. Skilled suicide gankers cunningly design fits which deliver the highest frontloaded damage (sometimes called "alpha strike") rather than damage-per-second, for the lowest ISK costs. They must also cultivate a fine-grained sense of market value, and study the most efficient transport routes and chokepoints. These skills are, ironically, very like those necessary for successful transport pilots.
