Use a cargo scanner if possible after completing the two data hacks in the Solray Room.

Magnate comments: As noted in the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/3P38_Sleeper_Nexus#Sleeper_Caches:_A_Preamble Preamble], you may still scan down a Superior Sleeper Cache with armor tank rigs if you use three Scan Rangefinding Array Is, but it'll be rough. 2 Auxiliary Nano Pump Is and 1 Anti-Explosive rigs are more of a Limited Sleeper Cache thing anyways.

It can be helpful to use a Small Secure Container (anchor it and set a password!) more so with the Magnate than the Heron. Leave the Secure Container in the Solray Room and bookmark it, and store the loot, cloaks and probe launchers inside it. Bring the Mobile Depot into the Turret Room to refit for the Cargo Scanner after the data hacks are finished.

===About the Nestor===

The Nestor is a very puzzling ship, for more reasons than one.

Most people think this ship and this site were created for each other. While the site can be done fine with a Nestor, the problem is that as it is a battleship, and a slow one at that, it may more pragmatic to use a properly fit Tech III Strategic Cruiser instead because it is easier to fit one up with the ridiculous tank levels that they are normally associated with which makes the quite suitable for this site.

So while you may elect to use it, and it's a pretty ship to look at, it's not worth rushing out the door to buy one and kit it all up with expensive deadspace repair modules required to make it suitable for running this site. There are other candidates which work more efficiently.

* If you land in the Turret Room, approach and activate the nearby Spatial Rift to warp to the Solray Power Plant.

* If you land in the Solray room, there are three places you may land. Look carefully for three containers, and based on which one you landed near, take the appropriate action:

# Solray Gamma Alignment Unit: ~~Stay here for now~~.

# Solray Gamma Alignment Unit: Approach the Solray Infrared Alignment Unit.

# Solray Infrared Alignment Unit: ~~Approach the Solray Infrared Alignment Unit~~.

# Solray Radio Alignment Unit: Take the nearby rift which will send your vessel over to the Solray Gamma Alignment Unit zone, although it can also direct you over to near the Infrared Alignment Unit.

:'''Note:''' The destination is random for each site and changes from one site to the next, but it will remain consistent within any one site. The same logic applies to what area ships will land at when they enter the room from the very first room which has the initial Spatial Rift. Thus, that rift can send the player to the Solray Power Plant (which has 3 possible spots to land at) or the Sentries on Duty Room.

Near the Solray Gamma Alignment Unit container, there is a structure named the Solray Observational Unit. When successfully hacked, pilots can obtain an "alignment disc" which, when placed in the proper container, reduces the strength of the damage cloud created by the Solray Power Terminal. When warping through the Power Terminal's damage radius, vessels may sustain ~~[http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/File:3P38_Superior_5.png some damage]~~ but this damage is manageable.
