#D-scan the moon one last time, if there are any warp disruptors in d-scan that implies a trap has been set at the warp

===Bubble Mechanics===

===Warping to Moons===

When warping to a moon, with an active tower, where warp disruption bubbles are present, the utmost care must be taken. As such here's a quick quide of bubble mechanics from [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/03/bubble-mechanics.html Azual Skoll at The Altruist].

*'''NOTE:''' This step may be ignored in the event there are no ships/probes/wrecks in system on d-scan indicating anything is active

'''Key points relating to warping to a POS:'''

*traps are normally littered with anchored cans and abandoned drones

**The disruption field itself will not de-cloak you, being within 2km of any object will

*While POS structures are scannable with combat probes, anchored bubbles are not, so warping to a structure from a bad angle still will drag you out of warp.

====The actual Warp====

===~~Warping to Moons~~===

Now that you know which moon is occupied, you can hop on grid with it to check for piloted ships

*NOTE: It is highly suggested to only do this in ships fitted with covert ops cloaks

#D-scan the moon one last time, if there are any warp disruptors in d-scan that implies a trap has been set at the warp

#Review system map for ability to create bookmarks perpendicular to common approaches of the planet/sun, or moons and planets unaligned with common approaches

#~~From~~ best location, select warp to moon at 100km

#Warp to best location, select warp to moon at 100km

#While in warp, have a celestial or safe available for easy access in case you need to bug out

#*If you are caught, don't panic, chances are you still have your cloak, plot your shortest path out of the bubble with the fewest obstructions and slow boat out to empty space

#*If you've dropped cloak, don't panic, you still have >10seconds depending on sig radius before the POS can lock you, plot your shortest path out of the bubble, light your prop mod, and start spamming warp towards your preselected bug out point.

#If you wind up in empty space, take a second to gander at the bubbles.

#Identify a good vantage point to bookmark if you want to come back and spy

#*Should be ~80km off grid with the tower so as to make the '''Look At''' option available to anything in the field

#*Should be perpendicular to any bubble traps, and aligned with a bookmark or a celestial so that it can be warped to without any bubble concerns

#Hang out and gather intel

#*Piloted ships will be listed with their pilot.

#*Check what is online and what is merely anchored as far as defenses and industrial structures, more industry online could imply carebear leanings of the occupants.
