I too am home alone with a toddler. I have her some diaper free time and she promptly shat her pants. Now she's deep in some sort of imaginative naptime play with some dolls and a feel like cracking a beer.

So a few noobie questions: 1. If I wanna do missions I must grind rep with a specific agent from 1-->2--->3 etc... to advance? Seems tedious. 2. Is exploration something I can begin immediately? I'm reading a few things and it seems it'll take a few million ISK investment and a lot of time training skills to be able to. 3. Is exploration still profitable? Is it still interesting/fun?

Phi230 posted:So a few noobie questions: Exploration is a lot of fun because you fly around in a cloaky ship and hack stuff and probe stuff down and in general you don't get owned nearly as hard as flying around doing missions. Plus if you're in a wormhole exploring, you can always scan down a new exit and pop out in the other end of the universe. Just make sure that if you're in wh space, low sec, or null to scan for other people's probes trying to hunt you down.

Phi230 posted:So a few noobie questions: I haven't done missions in quite some time, but I think you can do missions from any agent, the level of agents available I believe is based on the standing of the faction, someone else might have more or better information though. Exploration is something you can get into pretty quickly, if not right from the start, just takes a frigate with some probes and relic/hacking modules. It only really takes a lot of time to start if you're wanting to get into a T2 covert ops frigate before you start. Exploration can still get you a decent amount of money, last time I did it a few months ago I kind of chilled out in some wormholes for a couple days and got ~400 million just by running the nullsec relic/data sites that spawn in wormholes. (The nullsec sites will have the names of factions on them, like Sanshas or Guristas) As far as it being interesting or fun, it kind of depends. The hacking minigame isn't the worst thing ever, but I don't have any strong feelings or or against it. I think it's kind of fun, but I also like looking at stuff in space and taking pretty screenshots while I'm doing stuff.

Am I allowed to chill in a discord/mumble whatever without selling my soul/getting a background check to join goons? And before I fit anything out I've only got 25 mill to my name so with that amount of money is it possible to get an explorer fit ready?

25 mil should be enough to fit a pretty cheap T1 scanning frigate with plenty to spare, only things that would potentially be expensive at that point if you're going to be using a T1 hull would be the Sister's probes (it's like 3 million or so for 8 probes) or a cloak if you decide to use one.

Do I need a sisters launcher to fire a sisters probe?

Phi230 posted:Do I need a sisters launcher to fire a sisters probe? No, and you don't need to use Sisters probes/launchers to scan either, it just makes it easier Edit: each race has a frigate that has a bonus to scanning (Magnate, Heron, Imicus, and Probe); there is also the Astero, which gets a great bonus but is pretty expensive for a new player.

Phi230 posted:Do I need a sisters launcher to fire a sisters probe? Nope, they can be launched from any probe launcher, the sister's probes themselves aren't necessarily needed either, they just have slightly better scan strength than regular probes, so it's a little easier.

Combat probes can still scan sites down, but it's much easier and preferable to do exploration with core probes. Also combat probes can only be launched out of expanded probe launchers, which take a lot more fitting than regular core probe launchers.

The expanded launcher can fire off both core and combat probes, but you only need the combat probes to hunt down other players

Final question. Besides the maneuverability/survivability stuff should I even bother outfitting my Heron with weapons for exploration? I assume the rats I will be encountering will be orders of magnitude more powerful than what I could handle.

I don't usually put weapons on my exploration ships, and unless you're going into wormhole exploration sites (Stuff designated by having Sleeper in the name somewhere usually) there aren't any rats in exploration sites.

Plus, if you use the expanded launcher, you're going to be short on cpu/pg to fit any sort of weapons

Data and Relic sites don't have rats, so you don't need to bring a combat ship for them. You might want to bring a mobile depot in your cargo if you need to swap your fitting between which mid-slot module you need to do the hacking minigame once you've found a site, though. Also, quoting my edit about the scanning frigates in case you missed it  Lack of Gravitas posted:Edit: each race has a frigate that has a bonus to scanning (Magnate, Heron, Imicus, and Probe); there is also the Astero, which gets a great bonus but is pretty expensive for a new player.

For exploration in a Heron, you want to be doing Data and Relic sites. You don't need guns to complete those - they contain a bunch of locked loot containers that you have to open by playing a hacking minigame. Leave Combat sites alone for now. You will also probably find some wormholes, which you can jump through to reach a star system in unknown space. These are more dangerous than high security space because players can freely attack you without much warning, but they have more lucrative Relic/Data sites than you will find in highsec. If you go looking for Relic/Data sites in wormholes, only go for the ones that have Guristas, Angel, Serpentis, Blood Raider, or Sansha in their names - you won't be able to handle the other ones in a Heron.

Oh poo poo, the Astero wasn't around when I last played. Any idea how much they run for? If they're around or slightly more expensive than a CovOps then I may snag one when I resub and doodle around w-space while fighting off sleepers with that massive drone bay space
