Exploration Site Safety Guide

Template:Public The following are quick reference tables for evaluating PVE exploration site danger (such as hostile NPCs and/or exploding cans) based on the cosmic signature name. The cosmic signature type is identified at 25% scan, the name is revealed at 75% scan, and the site is warpable at 100% scan. Thank you to David Louis for the original forum post.

Note:  "SAFE" does not mean you are safe from PVP.  Always assume you are being hunted by other players.  Be forever vigilant dear explorers!

Exceptions for Shattered Wormhole Systems:
1. Standard Shattered systems can contain sites of their own class, and also one class higher or lower.
2. Small Ship "C13" Shattered systems contain sites only found in C1, C2, or C3 systems
3. Silent Battleground (a very rare Data Site) in Shattered systems is SAFE
