    Hey,

    So in my continuing effort to experience more of the game, I want to start fitting my Imicus to do some exploring. Everything I read on the subject says to put in a Cloak. Makes perfect sense, but as an Alpha, I can't. What things can I do to mitigate risk while exploring as an Alpha status?

    Situational awareness is probably the best bet... Configuring overview to show all pilots with any negative standing and using Defensive and Ofensive D-Scan....

    From what I read, everyone gets ganked eventually, but Alpha exploration is still lucrative business.

    While it's good to know it can be done, so far it seems I am flat-out terrible at it. Smile I couldn't get any Signatures scanned except for one, and at that one I thoroughly botched the hack. Gonna need to practice this a lot...
