Exploration skills

For the people who don't know what exploration is and want to know more I suggest that you read Exploration first.

Skill plans description

The folowing skill plans focus only on the data and relic sites found in exploration (except sleeper sites). Ore sites, gas sites and combat sites will not be discussed in these skill plans.

This page contains 3 different skill plans, each focussing on how much you want to dedicate yourself to exploration.

• The starter exploration plan (2 days):

Anyone who has no experience in exploration but would like to know more is advised to train this skill plan. It has a relatively short training time and contains all the crucial skills to get started. It will allow you to fit the required equipement needed and to scan down and loot most High-Security sites effecively and to get some exploration experience.

• The intermediate exploration plan (14 days):

People who have a good understanding of exploration, and would like to dedicate a decent percentage of their time to it are advised to train this skill plan. The intermediate exploration plan requires that the starter exploration plan is already trained. Training this plan will allow you to scan down and loot most of the 'Known-space' sites and if you know what you are doing even some faction sites in 'Wormhole space'. Note that these skill plans exclude sleepers sites, because they are focused on the racial tech I and covert ops frigate

• The master exploration plan (91 days):

People who consider exploration as one of their main career paths are advised to train the most these skills. Note that this plan focusses on training into the covert ops frigate, which makes your exploration much faster and easier. When you have trained this plan, you will be able to scan and loot ALL exploration sites in known- and wormhole space effectively (with the exclusion of sleeper sites).

Master exploration

The master exploration plan focusses mainly on training into your racial covert ops frigate. Since this program is quite lengthy the skills are organised ranging from very important to less important, allowing players to shorten the specified skill plan according to their needs. I suggest training at least to number 11, as 'cloaking IV' is required for the 'covert ops cloaking device' which will boost your survivability by a lot. Do not underestimate the importance of 'Hacking V' and 'Archaeology V' as they allow you to use the tech II analyzers, which give you +5 virus strength compared to the tech I variant.

1. Astrometrics V	requirement for 'core probe launcher II'	14 days, 15 hours, 14 minutes, 30 seconds
2. Racial Frigate V	requirement for 'covert ops' skill	9 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes, 40 seconds
3. Electronics Upgrades IV		1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 40 seconds
4. Electronics Upgrades V	requirement for 'covert ops' skill	9 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes, 40 seconds
5. Covert Ops I		33 minutes, 20 seconds
6. Covert Ops II		2 hours, 35 minutes, 14 seconds
7. Covert Ops III		14 hours, 38 minutes, 6 seconds
8. Covert Ops IV	bonuses should now exceed your racial frigate	3 days, 10 hours, 47 minutes, 20 seconds
9. Cloaking II		3 hours, 52 minutes, 52 seconds
10. Cloaking III		21 hours, 57 minutes, 8 seconds
11. Cloaking IV	requirement for 'covert ops cloaking device II'	5 days, 4 hours, 11 minutes

Links to EVEMon skill plans

Following links contain the skill plans for the different stages of exploration skills. The skill plans can easily be imported into EVEMon. If you want to train the intermediate or master skill plan, you will see that the previous skill plans will also be included to make up for any required skills. These skill plans are made for minmatar characters but can easily converted to other races by swapping out the Minmatar Frigate skill for your respective Racial Frigate skill.
