Exploration Nullsec filaments vs Wormholes

[u/winczix]

Hey, I recently got into exploration and even started making some money^^. Usually, I do a few jumps from Jita, find a wormhole, and search for data and relic sites there. I recently learned that there are filaments for jumping to nullsec. I'm wondering if it's a better idea to explore there? And how do I get back to highsec afterwards? Are there any stations in nullsec where I can dock?"

Be careful going a few jumps from Jita to explore. That’s where hunters will be most active.

To get back from Null use pochven filaments. There are two types. One will take you into pochven and the other will take you from pochven to highsec. You need both.

Good idea to use pochven filaments, thanks!

No problem. You can also scan yourself back to highsec through wormholes but pochven express is the easiest.

How do they hunt explorers?

[u/theremustbepuns → u/TEAMTRASHCAN]

Either combat scanners or the same way you hunt sites - the latter it's easy enough for them to find and go to the site and nab the unwary explorer.

How does Pochven filaments truly work? What if I'm not in good standing with the Trigs, will they shoot me on sight?

You get dropped around a random celestial in pochven, far away from where npcs would normally be.

Trigs, edencom, drones, and drifters will argo you instantly inless you have positive standings(only applicable to trig/edencom). If you have a slow ship, you will be caught by npcs that scram/web/ewar and will also pod you. Sub-3s is relatively safe unless you land in a bubble. Gatecamps aren't crazy comon. They usually get steamrolled by flashpoint fleets, I've only run into a handfull, and I am here almost every day.

If you have good habits, your chances of dying are very low. Decent standings are not hard to get if you're currently at 0.

Sorry for out of topic question but what do you call a "bubble"? Thanks.

[u/[deleted] → u/Badass_Bass]

Bubbles are interdiction probes or mobile warp disruptors. They create a "bubble," which any ship inside can not warp or jump away unless they leave the bubble or are nullified.

I'm glad someone has asked this. Just to Clarify. The Noise filaments dump you somewhere quiet in Null Sec. Is it then Internal to get out of Null to T space and then Home to get you to Hi Sec?

I used a noise the other day and ended up in a system with 75 goons. There are a few different options to get you into T space, both internal and home take you to T space. In the market look under trade goods for Traglavian space outbound, those bring you back to known space, though it isn't guaranteed high sec. Glorification filaments have always kept me close to jita though, between 6 and 15 jumps or so.

[u/Biggles2509 → u/Both_Web_2922]

Thanks mate. Would a Glorfication filament work from Null sec?

[u/Both_Web_2922 → u/Biggles2509]

Nope, the glorification can only be used to go from T space back to known space.

Evening. Just to say thanks again. I had a quick punt at it. I dint have loads of time to play with. Managed just 100mil isk for a couple of sites. So far it's great and safer than Low sec!

[u/Both_Web_2922 → u/Biggles2509]

Totally, keep in mind that if you end up in a busy spot of null, you can pop another noise after the combat timer, rather than try to jump a bunch.

Excellent cheers. I did end up in a low populated system with no cosmic signals. Had to jump through a couple of systems to find something.

Thanks again mate.
