#Start scanning - remember to click the little star next to the signature that you're working on in the mapper to "own" it. This will turn it green and alert others not to scan it also - ''see image 1'' | #Start scanning - remember to click the little star next to the signature that you're working on in the mapper to "own" it.

====Rescanning signatures after downtime==== | |||
All signatures in every system change IDs after downtime, making the mapper/bookmark intel out of date. The locations of the signatures don't change, just the IDs. If you come into a system that has not been updated after downtime, you will see the list of signatures in the mapper in grey text, instead of white. The system needs to be re-scanned. To do this: | |||
#After making sure that there are no hostile active pilots around, find a safe spot and drop your probes | |||
#Set your probes to a pinpoint formation and 2 AU | |||
#Align the center of your probe formation with any corp bookmarks you see in the Solar System map and hit analyze | |||
#You should get a very strong hit (usually 100%) | |||
#Move your probes out of the way and hover your mouse over the signature and bookmark (the two should be right on top of each other) and note the old signature ID of the bookmark | |||
#Now edit that bookmark by replacing the old signature ID with the new one that has the hit in your scanner window | |||
#Also change the ID of the signature in the mapper | |||
#Do this for all the old bookmarks that you see in the Solar System map | |||
====Important Notes==== | |||
*Always bookmark wormhole connections in every system. If you find Data, Relic or Gas sites and you are in Bacon or Innuendo, bookmark them all in the Wormhole Campus corp bookmarks folder using the [[WHC Bookmarking Scheme]]. In any other system, only bookmark wormhole connections. ''The only exception to this are Vital and Instrumental Gas sites in C5 and C6 systems, as these contain the expensive gas that we often like to huff.'' | *Always bookmark wormhole connections in every system.

**Check the "mass" text - if it is critical and on the verge of collapse, consider not jumping as you may collapse it on your way out...even in a frigate.
