Editing ESR:EvE-Scout Rescue Cache (ESRC) (section)

==Tender - Maintaining the Cache==
The Tender is responsible for maintaining the Rescue Cache. If untouched, containers expire after 30 days. However, a container's "life timer" is refreshed by opening it. As the Tender, you’re also responsible for scouting the area and recording notes on a cache’s condition. Any scout can perform maintenance on caches. The last scout to open and maintain a cache is known as the Tender.

This role is not as labor intensive as the Sower. However, it is just as dangerous as the Sower role, which is why this role shares equally in distribution of ISK donations.

===Advance Preparation===
*There are no specific skill requirements for Tenders.
*Tenders can find Rescue Cache supplies on contract at Signal Cartel offices.
*Tenders who have the [[Policy:Corp_Admin_Info_and_Policies#Member_Levels:_C1.2FC2_Titles|C2 title]] will be able to retrieve supplies from the [[CS:Corporation_Contracts_and_Hangars|corporate ESRC Inventory hanger]] in Signal Cartel offices.
*Tenders must ensure they carry enough supplies to restock any cache they come across.

===Finding a Cache===
Allison will notify you upon entering the system whether it has a rescue cache in need of being tended. If not, see the [[ESR:EvE-Scout_Rescue_Cache_(ESRC)#Sower_-_Anchoring_the_Cache|"Sower - Anchoring the Cache"]] section above. If there is a cache to tend, the info on its location will be displayed on the ESRC web page. There will also likely be a [[ESR:EvE-Scout_Rescue_Cache_Shared_Bookmarks|bookmark available in the appropriate bookmark folder]].

====Forcha’s Tip====
May the "Force Field" not be with you. Before approaching or opening a cache, scout the area to ensure it is safe to work the cache. Are there any warp bubbles, wrecks, or ships on d-scan with it? These are signs the system may be active.

===Performing Maintenance===
#Verify location and alignment information of the cache via the ESRC web page. If there are concerns about the location, see the “Relocation” subsection below.
#Locate the cache using one of two approaches: 
## [[ESR:EvE-Scout_Rescue_Cache_Shared_Bookmarks|'''Bookmarks''']], if available, are the easiest way to quickly locate the cache
## Use the [[EvE-Scout_Rescue_Cache_(ESRC)#The_.E2.80.9CBounce.E2.80.9D_Method|“'''Bounce Method'''”]], if a bookmark isn't available or you want more of a challenge, until the cache is on-grid with you and can be warped to.
#Warp to the cache.
#Make sure there is only one cache on grid and the cache is not on grid with any other object.
#Check the ownership of the cache. If it is not '''[SC0UT][1420.]''' (the EvE-Scout/Signal Cartel tickers) then the cache will need to be relocated (see below). The most common reason for this is the original cache sower has left Signal Cartel.

#Check the name of the cache. It should be </p><code>EvE-Scout Rescue Cache - Stranded in this wormhole? Request help in the EvE-Scout channel.</code></p> If it's something else, tend it as unusable and relocate the cache at different planet.

#Open the cache using the password listed. Copy it from the ESRC web page by clicking on the clipboard icon. This will help eliminate typing errors. If the container cannot be opened using the password, make a note of it. (Note: Sometimes an extra space gets entered at the end of a password when the cache is first set up. If the password doesn't work, always try it with an extra space at the end and see if that works instead.)
#Inventory contents and resupply if needed.
#Move away, cloak, and warp to safe.
#Submit the cache status via the Tender data entry form on the ESRC web page.

====Password Issues====
It is possible the password on record does not work. In this case:

#Check the ownership of the cache and ensure it is Signal Cartel. If it is not then a new cache will need to be sown (see below). This can happen if the original sower leaves corp or if another corp is placing containers to look like our caches.
#It is also possible the database marked the cache expired when it did not actually expire. This can happen if someone tended and did not record it or if the database expired the cache a day early. The password will be shown in the History section of the Cache tab of the ESRC page in Allison.

===Relocation===
Existing caches cannot be moved. If a cache needs to be either resown or relocated, for any reason:

#The existing cache should be emptied and noted in the database as expired via the Tender data entry form, and
#A new cache should be anchored and supplied at a different planet. This new cache should then be entered into the database via the Sower data entry form, as outlined in the [[EvE-Scout_Rescue_Cache_(ESRC)#Sower - Anchoring the Cache|Sower - Anchoring the Cache]] section.
