| If all has gone well up to this point, the only time your ship has appeared on D-scan is the brief time when swapping from jump cloak to cloaking device (that is if you have a covops cloak). No reason to break the blissful ignorance of possible occupants by announcing your presence now! Thus, the goal of the following section is to get your probes out into space, out of range for d-scan, as quickly as possible so that you may re-cloak and go about your business. | | If all has gone well up to this point, the only time your ship has appeared on D-scan is the brief time when swapping from jump cloak to cloaking device (that is if you have a covops cloak).

| |
| '''No really, bookmark it'''
| |
| '''Did you bookmark the wormhole? If you don't, you probably won't be able to get home'''

|
| |
| Type the locus number (or system name - its in the top left) into wormnav. This will give you information on the wormhole type, its effects, and recent activity. Note that wormhole jump tracking was removed with the Crucible update - there is no public record of how many ships have jumped in or out of a wormhole recently.
| |
|
| |
| For example, J123450 (http://www.wormnav.com/index.php?locus=J123450) is a class 2, has a wolf-rayet effect (improved armor resistance, small weapon damage, signature radius and reduced shield resistance), and has hisec and class 4 statics.
| |
|
| |
| Static refers to a type of connection that will always be available from that wormhole. For example, J123450 will always have a B274 connection to hisec, and a Y683 connection to a C4. When these close, new wormholes of the same type will open. They will likely connect to a different system than before.
| |
|
| |
| A system with a hisec static means the fleet can always leave to hisec. If it closes, a new hisec connection will open. This is useful for a fleet that does not intend to stay in w-space for an extended period.

|
| |
| Uncheck the "Use Active Overview Settings" button on your D-scan, and do a D-scan at maximum range (enter a lot of 9s into the box, it will default to max range). If you see sleeper wrecks on scan, it is likely other people are running sites in the system. If you see a Force Field, then there is an active POS. If you see ships and a Force Field, it is possible they are inside the POS, or somewhere in space. Ships without a force field are probably piloted.
| |
| *As this guide does not cover PvP, ships outside a POS, or wrecks, should probably be considered a threat.
| |
|
| |
| Scan for anomalies using your onboard scanner. Count how many there are - more anomalies refer to a more profitable wormhole.
