Hello there fellow wh dweller.

My corporation and I are beginning our WH life and we trying to find a nice way to bookmark anoms so that every mate can easily find what they can do in our hole and statics. When you only have your home and your statics it s pretty easy, but when we go deeper it s getting chaotic in the corporation's bk.

Here is what we actually do with our C2 static C2,LS.

For the sake of convenience I won't print the numbers of anom (ex : AZE-232) but know that we note them before EVERY sites.

/c2_home/state-sig1-type-name
/c2_home/state-sig2-type-name
/c2_home/......
/c2_home/c2a
/c2_home/c2a/state-sig1-type-name
/c2_home/c2a/state-sig2-type-name

let s imagine our static has a C4 static it then goes :

/c2_home/c2a/c4b/state-sig1-type-name
/c2_home/c2a/c4b/state-sig3-type-name
/c2_home/c2a/c4b/state-sig3-type-name

Possible states of an anom :
W : warped - a scout has warp to the site to start the spawn of rats
P : popped- rats are in the sites
C : cleared - rats are cleared from the site
S : salvaged - rats has been salvage

As we go deeper we create new folders to easily find our way home.

I'm turning to you to see if you have found a proven technic and can share it or comment our.

Take a look on siggy: http://siggy.borkedlabs.com/pages/welcome
Have a "Guide" option on the top too :)

This tool helps you with the map and unique names for WHs.
About folders I agree with Octonetwork.

In the end your corp probable will have a self mechanic with names and some step-by-step.

Thank you both for your comments.

I heard of siggy but i m a bit greedy to spend ISK on such tools :)

Why not just use corp borkmarks? Yes, 250 is very limiting but still.

Ouch,

First we only use the letter portion of a sig name. It keeps it shorter and the letters are all unique, so the 3 numbers are redundant.

This seems nice :) gonna try it.


Seems there is no perfect way to setup bk, only the one that suits your corp.

Using IDs for bookmarking is not handy becouse of downtime reset, once you figure out this system its preety easy to navigate.

Now see this is where i feel the opposite. Having the sig ID's makes it easier to keep track of new and existing bookmarks.

Actually there are two sort of general rules that we use for finding the new exit quickly.

First is that the exit from our WH into the neighbours is always a sig-size 10. So just scan the whole system and throw away all the mag and radar sites (size 5) and you're left with a shorter list to scan.

Having a well skilled alt with a proper probing ship and some implants will allow you to resolve all the size 10 sigs at 4 au, so you should be able to scan an average wormhole in a couple of minutes. In fact, I would say on a good day you can scan the exit down faster then double checking which sigs are on your list and making a list of new ones. Some days, MUCH faster.

Second rule of thumb is that new spawns usually have different second and third letters of the sig name as compared to sigs that have been there a while. So if your exit has disappeared and you need to find the new one quickly then

1) throw away all the size 5 sigs, as i said,

and then

2) check the sig names of what's left. you'll see a list that looks like

AUX1234
FUX1234
GUX1234
HAB1234
QUX1234
ZUX1234

The one HAB with different 2nd and 3rd letters is USUALLY your new exit. Scan it first and you'll find that 9 times out of 10 you don't have to scan anything else.

Using those two simple guidelines and a good prober I can usualy find the static exit in literally a couple of minutes. After Odyssey it will only get easier with being able to launch all probes at once and having some preset patterns.

...snip... [several critical points....}

It is a bad idea to use sig names in your bookmarks, after DT the sig changes, after an emergency downtime also.
Besides it doesn't say where it goes or came from.

If you put the location as Home > C5 and I come in 6 hours after you, do a scan and see a bunch of new sigs, how do I ever match up the sigs I see with the locations already saved?

I just follow siggy to whatever hole I want.

My paranoia doesn't let me show my current paths to strangers. Even if that strangers are just online service providers.
