Seclusion and Bookmarking

Best Practices

Bodger1234

●

I am the leader of Seclusion, it is my responsibility

●

My mains are Bodger1234, CletusSlackjaw Yokel and tiger

Enaka

●

My alts all have the first name of Bodger or Cletus

Bookmarking is for practical reasons

●

We maintain Seclusion as a mostly secure zone, where Lumen

folk can feel safe, do PI, Indy or other in relative safety

●

As a result our primary focus is to “roll” roaming wormholes

●

If you do not know

–

“Rolling” means to force the collapse of a wormhole

–

“Roaming” wormhole is a wormhole that randomly appears.

Seclusion

●

Seclusion has 2 static wormholes

–

Static means, if you “Roll” that wormhole, another of the same class

of wormhole will appear in a few seconds

●

We name the 2 statics, Nexus and Ursus

Nexus

●

Nexus, is a static connection to High Security Space

●

Our normal SOP is to “rotate” that static until it is in Amarr

space, between 4-12 jumps from the Amarr Trade Hub

–

“Rotate” means we will continue to roll the wormhole until it is aligned

to Amarr space.

●

This allows all Lumen folk who are mostly in Amarr space to

access Seclusion with relative ease.

●

FYI, the wormhole type of Nexus is B247

Ursus

●

Ursus is a static that always connects to a C1 (Class 1 or A)

wormhole.

●

The C1 has much to harvest, gas, data/relic sites, ore and other

things as well.

●

Ursus is always a medium sized hole, you can bring over

battlecruisers and below, nothing bigger.

●

Periodically we will “rotate” Ursus, so that it is aligned to Caldari

space, so Lumen folks can carry their goods to market in Jita.

●

BTW, the wormhole type of Ursus is Z647

Bookmarking Standards

●

Because we take the security of Seclusion seriously, we need a

consistent manner to bookmark, so that the hole can be quickly

evaluated for safety and security.

●

I am going to walk through one of my morning evaluations

which includes scanning and bookmarking.

●

This is what the probe scanner presented me this

morning.

●

5 unscanned cosmic signatures

●

1 ore site.

●

I now need to figure out if anyone else has done any

scanning and then scan the rest.

●

The Seclusion Bookmark folder, which is

given to people who we have vetted.

●

Let’s talk about things here.

●

The primary sub folders I want to

mention are:

●

Mining Tacticals

●

Nexus

●

Data/Relic Sites

●

Gas Sites

●

Wormholes Roaming

●

Wormholes Not Zero

●

Ursus

●

And top folder items

●

The first item I want to mention is an

error that I see, that I will correct.

Because of that error, is the purpose of

this presentation.

●

Note in Wormholes Roaming there is a

bm for KMI-964. Unfortunately it has no

information to work from, nor is the bm at

zero.

●

I will show you the proper format of a

bookmark in a later slide. The only

useful information here is the SIG_ID

which is KMI-964, that is good. ALL

BOOKMARKS have to have the SIG_ID

as the first element of it. This allows a

quick evaluation of the security of the

hole.

●

I will delete this bookmark in a later slide

and properly bookmark it.

●

The next thing I will point out, is that

Ursus has collapsed on it’s own.

Wormholes have an expected life and

this one collapsed on it’s own because of

a timer.

●

The reason I know it has collapsed, is if

you look in the Ursus folder, the

bookmarks in “blue” mean that they are

in the current system. The 2 in our

system are BLZ-763. And if you look at

the probe scanner, in one of the previous

slides you will see that that cosmic

signature is not present, hence Ursus

has collapsed.

●

I will clear out that folder once I have

identified the new Ursus. We always

clear out that folder once it collapses.

●

The Ursus folder is to bookmark any

cosmic signature in Ursus for easy

access.

●

Mining Tacticals

●

I am a miner, so this is important to

me.

●

See the bms labeled TKT-860

●

This is that ore site you saw in the

probe scanner.

●

Note I marked the location of the big

Gneiss rock (average ore sites have 2

million cubic meters of Gneiss)

●

Always warp to 20km of those specific

rocks.

●

Also there is the “Jump Off” point, you

warp here and all rocks are on grid

and can be warped to, simplifying solo

mining ops.

●

Nexus

●

The Nexus folder is very important.

●

First you see the bm WZD-472 Nexus

Exit. This lets me know that the

SIG_ID of Nexus is. Allowing me to

evaluate on a quick glance as to

whether Nexus has collapsed on it’s

own (or by force).

●

_Nexus Cloaked and Uncloaked

tacticals. If an enemy comes through

the hole and establishes a bubble

either via HIC or Interdictor probes, if

you warp to 100km to “watch” the hole

you will be caught in the bubble and

likely be destroyed.

●

The Cloaked and Uncloaked bms, are

always 2,100+ km from the hole.

Close enough to watch it, and far

enough away to avoid being caught in

the bubbles.

●

Nexus Continued

●

Notice at the top level (that is not in the

Nexus folder) you will see 2 other bms

●

Nexus Exit, this bookmark is at zero

and you can exit the hole to HS.

●

Nexus Entrance, is the other side of

the hole, so if you want to come to

Seclusion/Nexus you set your

destination to this bm and make your

way here.

●

Data/Relic Sites

●

In Seclusion all resources are to be

harvested on a first come first serve

basis.

●

This stores the location of Data or Relic

sites.

●

Note it should not include Sleeper sites

or Ghost sites.

●

Sleeper sites have rats that have to be

killed prior to analyzing the cans. These

rats are tough btw, so be careful.

●

Sleeper sites should be bookmarked into

the folder called Combat/Sleeper sites.

●

Ghost sites are unique and rare, I cannot

remember the names of these, please

look them up. But when you analyze the

first can if you do not finish and get off

grid very quickly you will be destroyed.

BM them into the Combat sites folder.

●

Ursus

●

Here in this folder should be the BM at

zero of the entrance to Ursus. In this

case (even though it is collapsed) the bm

is BLZ-763 Ursus.

●

Note: sometimes we add the words Void

or Silence to the bm.

●

Void means we never visited the hole

and is NOT at zero.

●

Further, Void is awesome, because once

it appears on our side (as Z647) it does

not appear on the other side for about 8

hours. And then the other side will see

the K162. It is a layer of protection.

●

Silence means we visited it, it is at zero.

But we never entered Ursus.

●

Note there are 2 bms, one void which

was the first scan of it. Then there is the

one which is at zero and is used to

enter.

●

Here I scanned ILO-338 and found it was a data

site.

●

I added it to the Data/Relic folders by save

location. Note no special adornment, but it needs

the SIG_ID.

●

Here I have fully scanned the cosmic signatures.

●

I found 2 wormholes, and 2 data/relic sites.

●

1 of the wormholes was already scanned, but I

scanned it here as well for demonstration

purposes.

●

The 2 wormholes are Nexus and Ursus. I did not

have any roaming wormholes this morning so I

will use them as examples on how to bookmark

roamings.

●

When I scan them I usually first put the

wormholes in the Roaming Not Zero folder until I

can evaluate them. Here is an example where I

put what will turn out to be Nexus in the not zero

folder.

●

Note: I did not format the bm, only the SIG_ID is

important.

Here I am going to bookmark Nexus

as if it were a roaming.

●

I first warped to 100km of the

bookmark in Roamings Not Zero

●

Then I did a show info. Which is the

first image.

●

The 2

image is the overview

●

And the 3

image is how it would be

bookmarked.

●

All the information we need to

bookmark it is in those 2 screens.

●

First in the Show Info, we see “This

wormhole seems to lead to high

security space”.

●

The last line says “Larger Ships”

●

The overview says the type is B274.

●

So the proper format of the bm is:

●

“WZD-473 HS Larger B274”

●

“WZD-473 HS Larger B274”

●

Here the SIG_ID always comes first.

●

is the destination in this case High

Security space.

●

Other things you might see are Low

Security, Null Security.

●

Then the “Unknowns” which are

other wormhole space systems.

●

Here you might see:

●

Unknown (C1/C2 wormhole)

●

Dangerous Unknown (C3/C4

wormhole)

●

Deadly Unknown (C5+ Wormhole)

●

After the destination we put the size of

the wormhole in this case Larger

●

And then the type of the wormhole in

this case B274

●

Wormholes Roaming, and Wormholes

Roaming Not Zero.

●

When you have a roaming, that is a non

static random wormhole bm, please put

them in one or the other.

●

The difference between these folders is

very important.

●

If you bookmark into Wormholes

Roaming, the bm MUST be at zero

distance from the hole. That way us

“rollers”, can get on grid and quickly deal

with the hole, especially under combat

conditions.

●

Wormholes Roaming Not Zero is if you

do not have time or in a long set of scans

and want to record it from the probe

scanner screen but not visit it.

●

To get the at zero bm warp to 100km and

hit save location.

●

The proper format was discussed in the

previous slide.

●

Here is the final outcome

●

Note we have 3 data/relic sites

●

Nexus is marked in the Nexus folder

●

Ursus is marked in the Ursus folder.

●

I also cleaned out the contents of

the Ursus folder as they no longer

apply.

●

Nexus Entrance

●

Nexus Exit are still present.

●

And We are done

The End
