Wormhole scouting: Difference between revisions

*Combat ships will be available, so do not stick around unless you are prepared to fight them

=Using Multiple Scouts=

If multiple scouts are available, this can greatly speed up the time required to properly scan down a given system, or chain of systems for combat/money making opportunities. In these cases, this is best done using some form of collaborative storage location of information so that multiple scouts do not end up stepping on each others toes. Some examples are listed below

*[https://drive.google.com Using a shared Google Docs spreadsheet]

*[http://wh-space.wiadvice.com wh-space mapping software] is a freely hosted chain mapping program using open source code.

**The website has the ability to track signature ID's within each system as they are added to the tool.

*[http://www.wormnav.com Wormnav] Has chain mapping software, but does not have the ability to track scanned sites

===Procedure===

#Once a collaborative document/site has been started, the first scout places sig IDs for each signature in the document

#Each scout then calls out each sig ID as they begin to attempt to narrow it down

#Details of each signature are then updated and a bookmark is made

#Scouts then move on to the next signature not currently scanned or in progress

=Scouting Connecting Wormholes=

Repeat the above for each connection (time permitting)

*Remember to bookmark ~~everything~~

*Remember to bookmark both sides of all wormholes

*~~Make a map and mark the way back out clearly~~ on the map ~~and in bookmarks or~~ you will ~~get~~ lost

**Also remember to bookmark WHs while on grid as scan results bookmarks have range variation from the actual point

*Once you start moving 2 or more systems deep in w-space, make sure a map of connections has been generated, as you will become lost otherwise.

=WH traps=
