EVE:Exploration

Exploration can be a great way to make isk when not much else is going on, though it does require having a few skills at decent level to make the best use of it.

Method

1. Use a cargo scanner to check the contents of the containers to determine which ones are worth hacking and which are best left alone
2. Go for any T2 BPC, Decryptors, and Datacores from datasites. Most anything found in the Parts and Materials cans from Relic sites are going to be worth keeping.

Is this worth keeping?

If you're not sure if something is worth keeping and your cargohold is getting full:

1. Display cargo hold in detailed list mode
2. Look at Volume column to find what is taking the most space
3. Highlight the item by clicking on it
4. The bottom right of the cargohold window will display an ISK amount
5. Do this for all items that are >1m3 per unit.
6. Once you decide what isn't worth keeping you can jet can those items as you leave the site.

As a rule of thumb, most items found through exploration that are 1 or more m3 per unit aren't worth enough isk to keep.
