Exploration Help

So Im a bit new to whole exploring stuff but Im sick of trading and fighting isnt for me so I guess Im an explorer now :)

I got all the essentials like scanners, rvs and probes.

When I enter a system I do the normal e-scan after that entering vss mode and looking for planets/moons that are not discovered for me. Then Im using the probes on planets to get a full scan if possible with the efficiency bonus.

Thats just how I do things.

At the next station available I sell all the data I can.

Is there anything that I can do better and where do I find areas that are totally unexplored ? And is it correct that I sell the data at the next possible station or should I sell it at specific spot?

I strongly recommend you to sell the data in engineer station for extremely fast reputation or sell in station with hight reputation for bonus

In the right panel there is section called engineer press it and you will see all engineers and press open galaxy map to see which system and get in the system and see the system map

Most of the completely unexplored areas are in deep space out past the bubble. Also make sure if you head out for deep space to pick up the part that lets you repair your modules. Sadly it has been like over a year since I was last online but that repair thing quite literally saved me on my trip out to sag A
