As you travel through systems on the map, establish the habit of updating signatures as you warp through the system, even if you have not scanned them down yet. The panels within Pathfinder differentiate when a given signature was first created and when it was last updated. When bulk importing signatures using the "Lazy 'delete' signatures" method, your updates will automatically remove signatures no longer present in the system. Adding unknown signatures, particularly when you may not have time to scan them down, will prompt others to investigate. More importantly, if Pathfinder has specific information about a particular signature but it's unidentified in your local list, pasting updated signatures into Pathfinder will retain the specific information and will not overwrite it with unknown values. | As you travel through systems on the map, establish the habit of updating signatures as you warp through the system, even if you have not scanned them down yet.

Pay attention to the lifetime of wormhole connections each time you travel through them. When you notice that the connection is approaching end of line due to its visual differences / descriptive text of the wormhole, go into Pathfinder and mark the connection between the respective systems as "EOL". When doing this, the connection will turn purple on the map, and the connection will be automatically removed from Pathfinder once a 4 hour timer expires. | Pay attention to the lifetime of wormhole connections each time you travel through them.

When considering jumping through a wormhole that is already marked EOL, look at the last update time of the particular connection. You can do this by hovering your mouse over the "ship" icon in the top right corner of the map grid. When you do this, tooltips will appear over every wormhole connection, which will tell you when the connection was first created (the first line) and when the connection was last updated (the second line). If last update time is 2 to 4 hours of a connection already marked EOL, give additional consideration whether you jump through and how long you decide to stay. | When considering jumping through a wormhole that is already marked EOL, look at the last update time of the particular connection.

When verifying the EOL status of a wormhole while on grid, you should check to see if the mass criticality has changed since it was first observed and entered into Pathfinder. This may be the case due to the number of players simply exploring, but also due to players specifically trying to roll the wormhole. | |||
