Line 26:

*Do not drop your probes as soon as you jump in

*Do not de-cloak and sit on the hole

Now that we have that out of the way, let's go step by step (assuming there are no ''visible'' hostiles on grid with you)

Line 35:

*Check d-scan for the presence of any ships, wrecks, deployable mobile structures (mobile depots, mobile tractor units, etc.), active POSes (force fields)

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 the hole)

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 the hole). The next thing you should do now is gather some 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 (POSes) in the pinkish box

*Take note of any POSes with the "Status: ONLINE" tag

*Warp to each 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 at 70)

*Confirm whether the POS is still in fact there (and if it's still online or 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

*If the POS is still there but only anchored, change that designation by clicking the little pencil icon next to the POS in the "Starbases" tab
