Exploration guide
Chapter 1: Basics
Exploration in nullsec is a highly profitable rookie activity and even remains for experienced players a valid option for quick income.
To explore you scan down anomalies looking specifically for relic and data sites and hack the containers within those sites using relic
and data analyzers. These contain the loot that you are looking after. During exploration please respect the following tips:
1. Always loot every can in friendly space. Do not cherrypick
2. Watch out for ghost sites. These sites contain valuable loot but also spawn NPCs after a set amount of time that will kill you and despawn the site.
3. Please respect the PVE rules. They still apply to exploration.

Generally, all exploration frigates from all factions are fine with the Heron standing out as the most useful one for having
the most midslots. The Astero is a good exploration frigate for experienced players due to its natural bonuses with covert ops
frigates making for a more skill intensive but cheaper alternative.
