==NSC Exploration Bookmarking==

As you travel around scanning down sites, you will come across a lot of signatures you're not personally interested in. For example, if you're looking for data and relic sites, you will find a lot of wormholes and combat sites just in passing. Please help out your fellow campus members by recording these signatures in the corporate bookmarks "NSC Exploration" folder. When you do this, please include some details of the site such as what kind ~~of signature~~ it is as well as the three-letter part of the signature so that others don't waste time scanning it too.

*R [ABC] Sparkly Serpentis Relic Site - Relic Site

*D [DEF] Dusty Serpentis Data Site - Data Site

*C [CDE] Rabid Sepentis Prison Camp - Combat Site

*W [XYZ] C5 J123456 - WH to WH Space

*W [ZYX] LS Uphallant - WH to LowSec

~~In wormhole systems you may also encounter Gas~~ sites, and ~~it's useful to mark "the way home" specially so that it pops to the top of the list of bookmarks:~~

===Examples===

A relic site:

*R [ABC] Monument Site

Note that the words "Ruined Serpentis" have been left out: all nullsec relic sites are "Ruined", and all Syndicate sites are Serpentis.

A data site:

*D [DEF] Sparking Transmitter

As with the relic site, the words "Central Serpentis" have been left out, as all nullsec data sites are "Central" and again all Syndicate sites are Serpentis.

A combat site:

*C [CDE] Prison Camp

Prison Camps are usually a good find, with loot of 300M ISK quite typical. Again, no need to mention it's Serpentis in Syndicate.

A wormhole. This one's a C432, which always leads to a C5 w-space system:

*W [XYZ] C5

This wormhole leads to highsec:

*W [ZYX] Amygnon (HS)

And this one is a K162 leading to "unknown" space and allows "larger ships":

*W [ABC] C2/3

The pilot didn't actually enter the wormhole to determine which class of w-space, but from looking at the info from the k-space side they could definitely mark it as either a C2 or a C3.

In wormhole systems it's useful to mark "the way home" specially so that it pops to the top of the list of bookmarks:

* *W [CBA] PC9

You may also encounter gas sites. Vital and Instrumental sites, which only occur in C5 and C6 systems, are sometimes worth huffing, so mark them:

*G [FGH] Outstanding ISK Bearing Gas Site

* *W [CBA] PC9-AY

There's no need to include the time you scanned a signature, or your name; those are included in the bookmark anyway. Please, also, do not put bookmarks in the "NSC Public Tacticals" folder; that's maintained by a specific campus member and is not for general use.

{{co|coral|'''Note: If the signature is a wormhole, please take a few seconds to warp on grid with the wormhole ~~(not to 0, of course)~~ and bookmark the object in space rather than bookmarking from the scanning window. This means that the bookmark will be precisely on the hole and not several kilometres from it. This might sound trivial, but it ~~might save~~ someone's life ~~one day, particularly when bookmarking wormholes in a wormhole system~~.'''}}

If you're a Sophomore or higher, you can also help out by removing expired signatures from the NSC folder. If you don't have Sophomore yet, don't worry about expired signature bookmarks; someone who can remove them will take care of it the next time they pass through the system.

Make entries for wormholes in the [https://mapper.eveuniversity.org/map/7/ Uni Mapper], and clean up old chains when you notice the signatures have despawned.

As with any activity in Null, if you're out and about exploring you're going to want to make lots and lots of bookmarks: gate tacticals and non-aligned safes are particularly valuable. Cosmic signatures usually work pretty well as non-aligned safes, but only some time after the signature itself has disappeared. So, for example, if I scan down a wormhole I'll often make two bookmarks: one for the corporate bookmark folder and another for my "sites and safes" folder. After a week or so, I'll rename the personal copy as a safe.
