A place for discussion about Thera, wormhole lore and incidents, exploration in New Eden, and what's involved in being part of our network of scouts.

I want to join the signal cartel but before i need to haul my items to some eve scout high sec hub, firstly because i'm in dodixie right now and (by reading the site) it's not recommended to join the corp while i got my things in a big trade hub.
I'm new to EvE and Signal Cartel and its credo is the most exciting aspect of the game I've found so far.
While researching my future exploration career, I came across gas cloud harvesting sites, because they must be scanned down, and are lucrative wormhole locations. So, I added that to my skill list. It sounds like fun.
My question: Does Signal Cartel consider gas cloud harvesting an activity that falls under the Exploration umbrella? Do members partake in it? I think of it as a hybrid of mining and exploration, and would love to bookmark gas sites as I explore for later harvesting, but I am concerned that this corp would frown on that activity.
Thank you for your responses.
Okay, so tonight I was on the python fitting tool, trying to pack all the features I want into one ship, and one of the things I want is the ability to scan down Superior Sleeper caches. I've found lots of sources that clam minimum scan strength of 105 is needed, and a fewer that say 104 is enough, and very few that say 103 is enough. If I push modules, rigs, skills, and implants to their max, I can manage a scan strenth of 103. Has anyone scanned down a Superior Sleeper cache with only 103 sensor strength?
Big fan of your site. I'm usually checking it most days for connections near by.
I noticed you have an API: https://www.eve-scout.com/api/wormholes
Has anyone made a slackbot tool to post when a wormhole appears in given system/system IDs?
Something like:
Just thought I'd drop by with a shipment of snickers and cheese to kindred spirits in another game universe. The Fuel Rats have a similar credo and mission, saving commanders stuck out in the black without fuel. Although not nearly as cutthroat as EVE Online can be, E:D can be unforgiving as well, and seeing another player organization like yours out there, providing such selfless service, warms the heart.
Keep being awesome.
How are things in Thera? All my crap is there and I'm super rusty
Anyone remember me?
Hi,
I'm trying to rope my wife into playing with me and we'll both start up alpha's to get into exploring, and intend on joining this corp if/when so we can focus on having fun etc.
Essentially a two stage question, what race is best for alpha exploration (is it still Gallente for alphas). Secondarily, do you take casual alts?
EDIT Followup question; What would be the best 1-2 combo, like maybe an "explorer" and a salvager or something like that. I might do gallente regardless and fly a deterrent ship or something, maybe fly a Gnosis?
I want to keep this alpha, unless she wants to omega. She's a very capable woman and I don't want to just sit there and babysit her, I want shared victories (and defeats haha).
Hi there folks!
I've been AFK for the past year, due to real life issues. Not sure about Corp policy regard this, but i'm pretty sure i've been kicked out due inactivity.
I am planning to return to EVE this month, but returning without Signal Cartel is not the same thing so, ts there any restriction to "returning members" ? how much of an issue AFK is ?

So I'm experimenting with fittings again, got some with ECCM sensor booster and some without, achieving said title.
How viable is that tactic? Is there anyone who uses it regularly? Without drones, is your time window doing the hacking significantly larger (and thus safer)?
Do residents rather check anomalies they scan down with core probes, or go for combat scanners right away? And how great is the chance of getting probed by a perfect scanner out there?
Swinging between Astero and Taramis (or maybe the Prospect, I'm a widely skilled miner looking for new horizons). Thank you all for your input o/
I am a new Alpha clone,just started few days ago and i got into exploration,and i am enjoing so much,i enjoj that minigames (lost 2 ships,1 remnenet and 1 from player) but third trip was wery succesful for me (45mil),i heard soooo much good things about you and would like to join...but the problem is i choose amarr,is that a problem at joining...i am new as i can be...
Saw this on r/space just now. It's comets.

I started exploring a week or so ago, and i swear I found a page somewhere that had WH information set out like a table, with something like "entry WH" at the top and "exit WH" down the side, so if you wanted (for instance) a WH that went from C2 to High Sec you'd look up C2 at the top, HS on the left, and where they meet in the table it would say "B274"
Did this ever exist? Have I imagined it?!
its been nearly 24hrs and have gotten a confirmation email?
Has anyone heard of this:

Came across it on the main EVE thread. Would love to hear your thoughts.
For those who wonder about the relationship of EvE-Scout and Signal Cartel and who does what in the alliance.
Greetings fellow explorers,
I just started playing Eve as an Alpha. I finished tutorial and the exploration career agent.
Usually in every other MMO I would focus on the SoE story arc and all the other career agents.
But ... I dont want to. I want to explore the vast spaces and make ISK of my findings in Data and Relic sites.
Your credo suits me more than anything else I experienced in 10 years online gaming. I think you want to have that explained in detail in my application.
So my actual question is: can an absolute newbro like me join your corp? Would I fit in with my lack of knowledge and experience?
If yes, say so and I will apply. I'd love to be a part of you and someday contribute aswell.
Excuse my bad lingo. English is not my first language.
Happy scanning, Jebediah Norrish, Capsuleer
Hi all,
I have a question about non-combat exploration T3s. How many warp stabs should I be using? I use Proteus so can easily hit up to 6 stabs (even dedicated explorer-hunters will be stopped) but maybe something like 4 stabs 2 nanos is more efficient? Don't see triple scrams very often but I've heard of it as counter to quad stab astero.
If anyone has any experience using pure exploration T3s with stabs I'd like to hear your thoughts on the number that should be used.
Regards,
I was a lone wolf minding my own business in Random WH from HS.
Scanning down sites and record them on Tripwire, while scraping different loot just to secure my T1 explo reserve fund.
Stay in my "Safe Spot" and taking a leak to bathroom.
When I get back, the Tripwire screen was invaded by an Octopus in the system tab.
The head wrote Thera.
While I scan down the new sig (more if that later) listed, something strange happened, the spooky local got some noise. I check up the persons' bio and it listed as Signal Cartel.
As I recall those story I heard about this crazy group, I reply his greeting. (I wouldn't if I hadn't hear The rumors)
While he's mumbling sth related to space hug, I scan down the site and say a quick goodbye and hop into the hole. (The Sig was "ISK" for whatever reason I considered it as a sign of good thing)
After I put my clone in the station and burned some safespot in the system. And comfort myself, I took the time look up those crazy dude.
That's the first part of my story which leads to the reason why I am sitting here, waiting for my app to be considered :)
Greetings,
after a 5-years-long hiatus from Eve I came back with the Alpha clones release and resubbed shortly after.
Being left alone in my old corp and having discovered how much fun is exploration, I started to look for a WH corp to join, and almost everyone I asked pointed me to you.
I did my homework and read the faqs, I've skimmed across this subreddit and on the forums and also joined the in game channel. I've read the Credo and it fits well with my playstyle and I like the attitude the corp have towards the game.
It seems this corp could be my perfect place in Eve.
What I'm not sure I understood is if there's mandatory activity everyone MUST attend and how often. I've found some answers in older application posts, but they are - hey - older, so I don't know if something changed. Having a wife that let me play my videogames and two young hyperactive children I could be often afk and joining lengthy events could be challenging.
So, I hope to join you soon. Fly safe o7
After browsing ZKillboard a bit I noticed that the Astero seems to be used (or at least lost) a fair bit more often than the CovOps frigates.
Does anyone have an idea why it is that way?
When I am not logged into forums I can see the public lobby, when I log in I can see nothing on the forums. Please help, tons of people are sending me with links to the forums and I cant see any of them.
Just getting back into the game after a year away. I've still got the Astero I remember I loved to fly, just struggling to remember if the Stratios was an explo ship or not.
What uses/pros/cons does it have vs the smaller Astero
Hello i figure introduce myself here, i had a character for awhile before alpha clones and decide to come back with alpha clones, so far i am using my vehikor character not sure if i want to make a new character considering i would just do the same thing. My skills are an odd mix of exploration, manufacturing, jury rigging, and science. Sadly my massive amounts of drone skills took a hit but who knows i might resub at some point.
So i plan to do mostly exploration, manufacturing, and hauling.
There a couple pieces of advice for ship fittings i was curious about.
Any decent probe builds you would recommend.
Any way to turn my rupture or bellicose into a decent salvager/ratter, i used to use a drone laden vexor with no weapons (just salavager and tractors). I dont like switching ships lol.
And thinking of how to set up my hoarder. It for some reason has a prototype cloaking device and i cant remember why i did such a thing. I was thinking of leaving it on and giving it a probe launcher so on longer hauls i can launch probes, cloak and remotely check gates and stations for camps or suicude gankers. Does this sound like it might work or is it silly?
