At this point, we are still assuming that there are no apparent threats in the system (no ships visible on d-scan ~~- at least not from your current location~~). The next thing you should do ~~now~~ is gather ~~some~~ additional intel on the system:

At this point, we are still assuming that there are no apparent threats in the system (no ships or other activity visible on d-scan). The next thing you should do is gather additional intel on the system:

#Open up the mapper and click on the newly added Bacon system

#You should be on the "Details" tab by default which will show system occupancy, if any (POSes in the pinkish box) - ''see image 2 on right''

#Take note of any POSes with the "Status: ONLINE" tag - ''see image 2 on right''

#Warp to each listed active POS' moon at 10 (warping at zero means warping to the most common warp-in point and warping at a greater distance such as 100, might land you close enough to a POS module and de-cloak you...I have warped to 100s of POSes and have only been de-cloaked by a POS module once, at that was when I warped to the moon at 70)

#Warp to each listed active POS' moon at 10 (warping at zero means warping to the most common warp-in point and warping at a greater distance such as 100, might land you close enough to a POS module and de-cloak you...I have warped to 100s of POSes and have only been de-cloaked by an active POS' module once, at that was when I warped to the moon at 70)

#Confirm whether the POS is still in fact there (and if it's still online 'active' or now only just anchored)

#If the POS is completely gone, delete it from the mapper by clicking the little circle with a slash icon next to the POS in the "Starbases" tab - ''see image 1 on right''

#If the POS is still there but now only just anchored, change that designation by clicking the little pencil icon next to the POS in the "Starbases" tab ~~and changing the "Status"~~ - ''see image 1 on right''

#If the POS is still there but now only just anchored, change that designation by clicking the little pencil icon next to the POS in the "Starbases" tab - ''(see image 1 on right)'' and changing the "Status" in the edit window that pops up

#Before you warp away, do a d-scan at 1 AU and 360 degrees to see if there are any other active POSes at your current planet - especially if the mapper shows that there ''should'' be a POS at your location but you don't see one. Sometimes, the corp will move their POS to another moon at the same planet. If this is the case, you'll learn how to add a new POS to the mapper in the [[Wormhole Campus Scouting Guide#Adding new POS intel to the mapper|Adding new POS intel to the mapper]] section ~~below~~

#Once you have ~~done~~ the above for each listed active POS, you are ready to check the rest of the system for any new inhabitants

#Once you have completed the above for each listed active POS, you are ready to check the rest of the system for any new inhabitants

#Keep d-scanning as you perform the above steps to check for any new ships, wrecks, etc.!

'''Bubbles:'''

It's a good idea to check d-scan for the presence of bubbles, especially "dirty" ones (those that have cans anchored around them) before you warp to a POS. Should you notice bubbles on d-scan in the direction of a POS that you're about to warp to, try to warp in from a location that is not in alignment with any celestial. If you land and get de-cloaked anyway, DON'T PANIC. A POS will take over 30 seconds to lock you if you're in a frigate so you should have more than enough time to turn around, get away from any cans etc. and cloak back up. ''Never light your MWD when trying to get away! This will make you 5 times bigger and the POS ~~may~~ have a chance ~~to lock~~ and ~~scram~~ you.''
