I'm actually new to exploration.
It really does feel like an assembly line affair sometimes. :[
What bothers me is that as a combat character I can't seem to find any content through exploration?
I fly about in my ishtar with some sisters core probes and everything I find is either a wormhole or a grav site. I've killed god knows how many pirate encounters and only had 1 escalation (though the reward was nice for that one). I want to find a plex every now and then but they're so rare I might just stop looking.
I'll start to go only for the stuff which shows up 100% with one probe.
Edit: To begin with it was a lot of fun, but after finding so many wormholes I don't even bother trying to narrow anything down anymore. You need 75% sig strength before you can tell a plex apart from a wormhole, that's too damn harsh.

Before Apocrypha you had to warp to the site before you could find out what it was, so really there's nothing to complain about when it takes <10 minutes to get a 75% signature.
Well, as I said, I'm new to exploration and having to move spheres about again and again gets really repetitive. I wouldn't mind if I knew that there was a chance of finding something useful but there never is (for me). Maybe I'll invest in hacking skills.

I understand the need to keep some content exclusive to people who have trained up the skills. I loved treasure hunting in Ultima Online (back in the old days), you needed cartography skills, a shovel, a boat in some cases, experience etc...
There should definitely be content meant for those who have invested points in training the appropriate skills. My only gripe is that as a combat character I am being kept from what I want. ;]

Edited by: Zantei on 18/03/2009 17:51:33 I played UO on the atlantic server before trammel, some of my best times were spent fishing up treasure. :]
Exploration in eve is definitely more fun than it once was, considering this is the most I've used the mechanic. I plan to invest more points in exploration skills to get the most out of it.
