*** Where to explore ***
1: Sansha space (Providence, Catch, Stain, Esoteria, and Paragon Soul). Their cans drop Intact Armor Plates which sell for a fortune and your average take per can will be about double of any other pirate faction. It is highly contested space though so you need to know how to avoid getting caught, get in and get out fast.

2: Gurista space (Venal, Tenal, Deklein, Pure Blind, Vale of the Silence, Branch, and Tribute). The drops aren't as pricey, but there is typically less traffic around Venal and Tenal.

3: Angel space isn't bad either, insmother is typically very low activity and the site payouts aren't terrible.

Avoid Serpentis space as the payouts are low and Blood Raider space is usually pretty crowded and has medium payouts so its up to you. Drone space is where explorers go to kill themselves. No relic sites, data sites drop crap, bubble-fucked gates everywhere, and the only thing worth it there is data site escalations which are rare.
