*At this point, a PvP FC should take over and give additional instructions

===Site runners===

How can you tell that there may be some site running happening in the system? Check d-scan for the presence of:

*Sleeper wrecks

*Mobile Tractor Units (MTUs)

*Typical site running fleets - depending on what class system you're in but possibly a couple/few battlecruisers or T3s (usually Tengus, Lokis, Legions) with logi support

*Another way you can with some certainty tell that there is site running going on is if you see evidence of the above AND your d-scan result shows the ships but no force field. This makes it fairly obvious that they are not just sitting in a POS

Once you are fairly certain that site running is going on:

*Announce (preferably on mumble - feel free to say "break break!") that you have found some site runners (provide as much of the fleet composition as possible) so the rest of the fleet can start preparing for action. Also mention any effect that the system may have such as Pulsar or Black Hole etc.

*Turn on your System Overlay (Ctrl O) or open up your Solar System map and while "Show Anomalies" is ticked in your scanner window, d-scan every combat anomaly at 5 degrees and max range

*Once you find the site running fleet:

**Turn on your Tactical Overview (Ctrl D) and zoom out so you see the whole "tactical bubble"

**Make sure you are cloaked and warp to the anomaly at some distance (20, 30, 50 - whatever you feel comfortable with)

**Using your tactical view and an overview setting that shows everything, start moving into a good warp-in position while making sure you don't come within 2000m of anything and get de-cloaked

**While doing the above, observe/convey the site runner's progress to the rest of your fleet

**A PvP FC should take over and give both you and the rest of your fleet orders

It is possible that you won't find the site runners at a visible anomaly. In that case, if you're still certain that they are running some site, it is possible that they have either finished an anomaly and the sig has de-spawned or they are running a date or relic site (which has to be scanned down). You could wait a bit to see if they move on to another anomaly or if you are proficient at combat probing (and have combat probes on your ship), go ahead and try to probe them down. Otherwise, request that someone else come to the system and help find them.
