This would be an Anchorable structure that would automatically scan all signatures in a wormhole.
Limitations - Must be anchored outside a POS (to keep it vulnerable) - Will only reveal results to corporation/alliance of structure owner (or manually add people) - Always present in overview (like cyno beacon), so anyone could warp to it - Could require fuel or some sort of element to keep running? - Examining it on grid will reveal structure owner
This way, a wormhole corporation would always know what is in their hole, making life easier, but the potential downsides are quite large. |

What are the potential downsides?
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?
I'm stubborn.

You'd make them relatively weak and expensive, so they'd be a target for people to attack (especially if they dropped loot). Expensive enough that you'd want to rally people to defend it (content generation?)
You'd have to be in the wormhole to see the sig results.
Would require fairly frequent refuelling (so it's a hassle).
Basically, most corps would only set it up in their home wormhole for ease, (because why would you set it up elsewhere, only for the hole to close?) but if it's attacked, it would be a fairly sizeable loss. |

sounds like less hassle to just scan down the sigs, and corp BM them...... you DO realise there are such things as corp BM's right? seriously - I used to do it in a T1 fit T1 scan ship - with ship skill at IV, and astro skills at 2, and it was fine. now I have an alt in a fully skilled cov-ops - and it takes me 10 minutes, MAX, to scan out 15 new sigs..... and weed out the old ones that have despawned
For posting an idea into F&I:
come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....
If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Bring back the old scanning system as punishment for this heinous idea. |

EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

- It shows that your hole is active. Ho wait, nope, anybody with a DScan can see that already...
- It shows where is your POS. Ho wait, nope, anybody with a DScan can see that already...
- It will need to be replaced, as people will break it. Oh wait, nope, put enough anchorable bubbles around it and people will get POS killed.
Seriously, there is absolutely no downside. And no, needing to refuel it is NOT a downside, as your guys just need to check for fuel when they log in. Unless your corp is full of really lazzy people. In that case, just expel them all, take their assets and sell those, they did not deserved those anyway.
In case of ponies, keep calm and start running.
