You need to be sure about your tank before everything else, DPS is secondary to a good tank in my opinion (but hey, I'm a tank at heart).

I'd have assumed that for wormhole exploration a good cruiser or battleship tank would be sufficient - i.e. something that can withstand lvl 4 missions - ther's plenty of lvl 4 mission fits on battleclinic so grab one of those and train for it.

I'll have my main back online in a while and she can fly a curse/pilgrim so I'll start to have a poke around then - she has all the astrometrics required as well.

Again I'd be up for working with other people - even though that's not a multiboxer trait...
