Currently I’m doing exploration in Heron and for every 10 relic/data sites scanned, 8 out of 10 are populated with hostile NPCs, no matter the sec or wh space. Are these supposed to be cleared by one pilot in a single ship or a squad? If there are some fits to solo these sites, what would those be? ---

Forgotten and Unsecured sites are combat sites and hack sites are found in all classes of WH. NPC need cleared, drop a mobile depot refit a relic/data analyzer and hack the site. Loot the NPC for blue loot, and salvage wrecks for building T3 Rigs/Ships. ---

The name of the site generally gives you an idea what you’ll encounter. You can use a reference like this one to check them: [https://wiki.signalcartel.space/Public:Exploration\_Site\_Safety\_Guide](https://wiki.signalcartel.space/Public:Exploration_Site_Safety_Guide) The ships you can use to clear combat sites vary by region and WH class. Astero, CovOps, some people use some SoCT ships. You’ll probably need to google the type-name of the site in order to see what/how people go about clearing them. Also keep in mind the “don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose” guidelines. Hunters are common. ---

Anything that relates to sleepers/drifters is guarded. Anything that is pirates is unguarded. The sleepers/drifter sites are quite challenging to scan so you will know you got one of those sites. ---

You can solo them. Use Astero in most case, sometimes covops. ---

Your astro will literally get deleted by the sleeper turret lol. Nearly perfect application and a sizeable alpha damage vs that poor thing with 0 tank. ---

Depeds on your skills. Veterans can blitz these in a BC with scanners. Personally I woukd stick to the Astero or any cover ops ship. If you are a newish player just ask any vetran to come tank for you ---

> [@Michelle\_Vega](#): > > Veterans can blitz these in a BC with scanners. Yah in a BATTLECRUSIER then have a scanner come in. I was about to say if they go in with only a frigate I would be astounded. “blitz” is just killing the NPCs really fast lol. ---
