| If you have found one or more new active POSes in the system, you can use the following steps to pinpoint them and add them to our mapper:
| |
| #If the planet in question only has 1 or 2 moons, you can warp to each moon (at 10) and see if the POS is there. Once you find it, skip down to step_____________ to add it to the mapper, otherwise continue on
| |
| #If the planet has a ton of moons (let's say 15 or more) and only one new active POS, you can eliminate half of them in the following way:
| |
| ##In an overview tab which shows moons as well as force fields, find the moon that is roughly halfway (in distance) between the closest and furthest moons of the planet in question
| |
| ##Let's say the "middle" moon is 500,000km away and the next one is at 600,000km
| |
| ##Do a d-scan at a distance between the "middle" moon and the next one (550,000km should be fine in this case) at 360 degrees and see if it picks up the force field
| |
| ##If it does, you can eliminate any moon further than the "middle" moon. If it does not, you can eliminate the "middle" moon and any other closer moon. You can continue to eliminate moons this way until you have narrowed it down to just a couple, at which point you can find the new POS quickly by just warping to your candidates. Once you have found it, proceed to step_________
| |
| #If the planet has many moons and more than one new active POS (or you just don't like the above "elimination" method), follow these steps:
| |
| ##Warp at distance to the POCO of the planet in question
| |
| ##Turn on your tracking camera (defaut "c") or - ''see image 1 on right''
| |
| ##Make sure the tracking camera is centered on your ship - ''see image 2 on right''
| |
| ##Turn on the special bracket display via "Shift Alt x" - this will turn on moon brackets regardless of what other brackets you may or may not have turned on
| |
| ##Select a moon in either your overview or in space and do a 5 degree close range (1 AU) d-scan and see if you pick up a force field - do this for all the moons of the planet in question and note where each active POS is located
| |
| ##Now you are ready to finally add the POS(es) to the mapper \o/
