The 'Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavour'
There are only two possible routes to Solitude via known space. One goes via a low-sec pipe trough Aridia, the other via a null-sec pipe through Syndicate. Although it is relatively easy to reach the high-sec pocket in a fast frigate (or even a shuttle), shipping stuff in and out poses more of a challenge. As such an active scanning program is in place to find wormholes leading directly to Empire. Participating in the scanning endeavour is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged. There are very little requirements for members wanting to help out finding those precious wormholes. All that is needed to start out is a frigate and some training of the Astrometrics skill. Probe launchers and scanning probes may be freely available from the Uni hangar in Boystin for those who need them (supplies limited from donations, and based on the usage of others).
So that members are not duplicating each others scanning efforts a Google Doc Spreadsheet has been created.
Usage:
Columns A,B,C & D describe the Constellation / Security Status and System.
Column E : Currently being scanned , if a system is actively being scanned you can see the initials of who is performing the current scan.
Column F & G : shows you the who and what date/time the system was scanned.
Column H : Shows time since last Scan with a colour code Green (0-10hrs unlikely to have changed) , Amber (10-24hrs may have changed) , Red (24hrs + , definitely changed).
Column I : Scan Results - Only record Cosmic Signatures format of 3 Number ID very brief Description and use // as a separator. e.g. A System with 2 Signatures 245 a WormHole to Unknown Space & 812 a Gas Site would be entered as :
245 WH K162 WSpace // 812 Gas Calabash Nebula
Following best practises and not cluttering up / causing lots of Admin to the Corp Bookmarks only H2H , H2L , L2H or H-WH-H are Bookmarked in Corp Solitude Folder.
When one of the above wormholes are found, announcements are made via the Solitude.E-Uni chat channel and mailing list. Once both ends of the wormhole are bookmarked, a mail is distributed advising members which bookmarks to look for in the corporate bookmark folder "Project Solitude".
