As you travel around scanning down sites, you will come across a lot of signatures you're not personally interested in. For example, if you're looking for data and relic sites, you will find a lot of wormholes and combat sites just in passing. Please help out your fellow campus members by recording these signatures in the corporate bookmarks ''NSC Exploration'' folder. When you do this, please include some details of the site such as what kind it is as well as the three-letter part of the signature-id so that others don't waste time scanning it too.

*C [CDE] Prison Camp

Prison Camps are usually a good find, with loot of 300M ISK quite typical. Again, no need to mention it's Serpentis in Syndicate.

{{co|coral|'''Note: If the signature is a wormhole, please take a few seconds to warp on grid with the wormhole and bookmark the object in space rather than bookmarking from the scanning window. This means that the bookmark will be precisely on the hole and not several kilometres from it. This might sound trivial, but it occasionally saves someone's life.'''}}


You may also encounter gas sites. These may be (in ascending order of potential ISK value) Barren/Token/Minor/Ordinary/Sizeable/Bountiful/Vast/Vital/Instrumental. Particularly, Vital and Instrumental sites, which only occur in C5 and C6 systems, are oftentimes worth huffing so mark them. Once accessed, these sites spawn rats within a 15-20 minute window, so please also mark if these sites have been used by you or not:

There's no need to include the time you scanned a signature, or your name; those are included in the bookmark anyway. Please, also, do not put bookmarks in the ''NSC Public Tacticals'' folder; that's maintained by a specific campus member and is not for general use.
There's no need to include the time you scanned a signature, or your name; those are automatically recorded. Please, also, do not put bookmarks in the ''Public Tacticals'' subfolder; that's maintained by a specific campus officers. Feel free to use the tacticals to avoid bubbles when there are neutral players in system.

If you're a Sophomore or higher, you can also help out by removing expired signatures from the NSC folder. If you don't have Sophomore yet, don't worry about expired signature bookmarks; someone who can remove them will take care of it the next time they pass through the system.
If you're an officer, you can also help out by removing expired signatures from the NSC folder. If you're not an officer, don't worry about expired signature bookmarks; someone who can remove them will take care of it the next time they pass through the system.


Make entries for wormholes in the [https://mapper.eveuniversity.org/map/7/ Uni Mapper], and clean up old chains when you notice the signatures have despawned.
Make entries for wormholes in [https://eveeye.com/ EVEeye] and share your data with corp. Anyone can clean up old chains there when the signatures have despawned.


As with any activity in Null, if you're out and about exploring you're going to want to make lots and lots of bookmarks: gate tacticals and non-aligned safes are particularly valuable. Cosmic signatures usually work pretty well as non-aligned safes, but only some time after the signature itself has disappeared. So, for example, if I scan down a wormhole I'll often make two bookmarks: one for the corporate bookmark folder and another for my "sites and safes" folder. After a week or so, I'll rename the personal copy as a safe.
