The NSC campus is fairly close to high sec. One result of this is that we get a fair amount of traffic, and scannable sites can often be thin on the ground in the campus area. We also have a fair number of campus members trying to make ISK from exploration, which has the same effect. One way to work out your frustration about the lack of useful sites is of course to hunt down non-IVY explorers and explode them.

As you travel around scanning down sites, you will come across a lot of signatures you're not personally interested in. For example, if you're looking for data and relic sites, you will find a lot of wormholes and combat sites just in passing. Please help out your fellow ~~NSCers~~ by recording these signatures in the corporate bookmarks "NSC Exploration" folder. When you do this, please include some details of the site such as what kind of signature it is as well as the three-letter part of the signature so that others don't waste time scanning it too. For example, I use a scheme Xaifas taught me (and which is very similar to the wormhole campus' scheme for site bookmarks) in which the first letter is a type (e.g., Relic, Data, Combat, Wormhole), followed by the signature in brackets and any additional information after that:

In wormhole systems you may also encounter Gas sites, and it's useful to mark "the way home" specially so that it pops to the top of the list of bookmarks:

G [FGH] Outstanding ISK Bearing Gas Site

There's no need to include the time you scanned a signature, or your name; those are included in the bookmark anyway. Please, also, do not put bookmarks in the "NSC Public Tacticals" folder; that's maintained by a specific campus member and is not for general use.
