-Exploration can be done with almost any ship, as long as it has a high slot that can fit a Launcher. There is multiple support equipment that allows you to be more efficient, however.\\

-=====Scanning=====
+=====Safety First=====
-**[[training:probing|Scanning]]** is the first step in exploration and doing it correctly can save you a lot of time. The steps below seem long, but it will come natural after you have done the first few Explorations.
-{{ :eve:pve:exploration:probescannericon.png?200|}}
-When you found a good system, you want to click the 'Scanner' button (looks like a little radar) on the left side on your Ship Control Panel. Three buttons will appear in a radial menu and you want to click the 'Scanner Probes' button (see picture on the right).
-This will open the Probe Scanner window where you can see anomalies and signatures in your current system. Un-tick the box 'Show Anomalies' to filter out everything except signatures. Every entry shows the estimated distance, a unique ID, Scan Group, Group, Type and Signal. The important information for Exploration are the ID, the Group and the Signal.
-You can use the ID as the signature's name, basically. The group is important, because it will show if the signature is a Relic, Data, Combat, Gas site or a Wormhole. Finally, the signal has to be 100% to be able to travel to a site.
-<WRAP center round tip 60%>
-Signatures spawn randomly, so you will encounter systems where no signatures are found. In that case just travel to the next system and check back later.

+=====Scanning=====
-{{ :eve:pve:exploration:probescanner.png?250|}}
+**[[eve:pve:exploration:exploration_scanning|Scanning]]** is the first step in exploration and doing it correctly can save you a lot of time. The steps below seem long, but it will come natural after you have done the first few Explorations.
-  - Make sure your Probe Launcher is loaded with Probes. The icon should show the Probe image in your UI. If it isn't right-click it and load it
-  - Open your Star Map (press 'F10') and switch to the Solar System Map in the legend
-  - Choose an ID you would like to scan down
-  - Press the 'Launch Probes in Pinpoint Formation' button to launch your Probes (marked green in the image). The scan radius of your Probes is shown as bubbles and their centre position point as a cube
-  - Click the ID you want to scan in your Probe Scanner window (this filters all other signatures)
-  - Move your camera position to a top down view on your Probe cube and drag the cube into the middle of the signature sphere
-  - Adjust your viewpoint by 90° so you look at one of the sides of your cube and move it to the centre of the the sphere again
-  - Adjust your Probe scan range by click-holding one of your Probe bubbles and dragging it to the point where your Probe radius overlaps the signature sphere
-  - Click the 'Scan' button (marked yellow in the image)
-  - Check the scan results box to see what to do next
-  - When you are done scanning don't forget to collect your Probes by pressing the 'Recover all active Probes' button (marked red in the image)
-<WRAP center round info 60%>
-If you accidentally click one of the arrows on the side of the cube when you try to move it, your Probes may be dragged way off your field of view. Don't panic, it's reversible.

-====Scan results====
+=====Types Of Sites=====
-^ Scan result  ^ What to do  |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:combat_sites|Combat Sites]]
-^ Nothing  | Check your Probe cube position again, increase scan range |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:relic_sites|Relic Sites]]
-^ Another smaller sphere  | Repeat everything from step 6 on |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:data_sites|Data Sites]]
-^ A red ring  | Repeat everything from step 6 on  |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:sleeper_caches|Sleeper Caches]]
-^ Two red dots  | Repeat everything from step 6 on for one of them. If you do not get a signal from the first one, the second one is the correct position  |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:ghost_sites|Ghost Sites]]
-^ Two yellow arrow markers  | The same as above  |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:gas_sites|Gas Sites]]
-^ One red dot  | Repeat everything from step 6 on, you are close   |
+  * [[eve:pve:exploration:sites:wormholes|Wormholes]]
-^ One yellow arrow marker  | Repeat everything from step 6 on, even closer  |
-^ One green arrow marker  | Success! You found the signature's exact position! Scan another signature by repeating everything from step 5 on or end scanning with step 11 |
-<WRAP center round info 60%>
-You will not be able to scan down every single signature to 100% without the best equipment and highest skills. Accept this and leave signatures alone when you are stuck with the same signal.
-</WRAP>
-You can stop scanning signatures at any time when they are not of the Group you are looking for. When you finally find one or multiple sites you want to visit, you can warp to them by clicking the warp icon that appears under Signal in you Probe Scanner window, when you reached 100%.

-=====Hacking======
+=====Selling Loot======
-Before you can loot containers at Exploration sites you will have to **[[eve:pve:exploration:hacking|hack]]** them in a mini-game. It may look complex at first but the rules are quite simple and are easily figured out.
-----
-=====Turning loot into ISK======
-There are multiple ways to turn the loot you made during Exploration into ISK. The different options are listed below.
-====Sell it 'raw'====
 You can always sell the loot in the state you have acquired it. It is easy, doesn't involve many steps and you get a nice bit of profit.
-Most times it is more advisable to use a buyback service which every bigger corporation or alliance provides. These players will take your loot to one of the main trade hubs in Eve and sell it there, where profits are almost always higher than in Nullsec. Most will take a share of the profit (expect around 10%), since they are doing the hauling, but this still leaves you with much higher profits than selling it locally. You can use Evepraisal to see what your loot is valued at in Jita and other markets.

-=====Useful Tools======
+=====Deep Safe=====
-====Deep Safe====
+[[https://deepsafe.xyz|DeepSafe]]
-[[http://afowl.godesic.si/deepsafe]]
 This website is a community effort to create a database of system signatures all over New Eden.
-You have to log in using the in-game browser. The website will automatically detect the current system you are in and show discovered signatures in this system and their group (e.g. Data site, Relic site). You can compare the ID of these with the ones you find in your Probe Scanner window and by that filter for the ones you want to scan down. Best-case scenario is that all signatures you see have been scanned down by other users already and you are free to choose the ones you want to explore as well.

 If you find signatures in your Probe Scanner window that are not listed you can help expand the database by scanning them down to the Group and adding them through the dashboard. Future explorers will thank you!
-====Evepraisal====
-[[http://evepraisal.com/]]
-A very useful website in general and you can use it to see how much your loot is worth in the main trade hubs, like Jita. Your inventory has to be in 'list' mode for it to work, which you can achieve by clicking the button on the top right corner of your inventory window, right under the 'x'. After that you can select all items or single some out and copy&paste them into the Evepraisal box to get the estimated price in market hubs.
