Splunkworks Division

Welcome to The Splunkworks Division!

Signal Cartel's not so clandestine, ship research and development division for all your ship, fitting, and theorycrafting needs.

This is the place where Theorycrafters like to hang out and tell stories about 'The one that got away', or maybe, 'That time that we got away'. But as much as we all like fireside chats, there is work to be done.

With the fairly steady supply of fresh capsuleers that New Eden provides us, there are nearly endless opportunities to help out our fellow Signaleers! We all know how steep the EVE Learning Curve is! It is one thing to give someone a link to a complete fit in alliance chat; it is quite a different experience to teach them what it means, and how it all works together.

In addition, EVE is ever-changing - new events pop up, slot layouts change, nerfs happen. With all these things in mind, there is a solid chance that one's information is, unbeknownst to them, outdated. So the more ears we have to the ground, the better.

The Splunkworks Division aims to be a place where Signaleers come to gain knowledge, as well as share it.

Exploration Ships

Choosing an exploration ship is a personal choice filled with pros and cons. The Exploration Ship Guide is meant to help make that decision easier.

Exploration Ship Fitting Guide

Once you have decided on a ship to fly, you will need to think about how to equip it for exploring New Eden. The Exploration Ship Fitting Guide discusses the key equipment used for exploring - the rest of the fit will depend on the slots available (and your fitting skills).
