[[1420:Expedition_TripTiks|Signal Cartel Expedition TripTiks]] are a library of expeditions that take you to various points of interest in New Eden. Most expeditions have a theme or are associated with a specific region or smaller area.  TripTiks were originally created by [https://evewho.com/character/1252841503 Mynxee] and then later managed by [https://evewho.com/character/885864009 Katia Sae].

== TripTik Curator ==
[https://evewho.com/character/94500439 Jen Hoshi] currently oversees TripTik development, publication, and contributor payouts.

== TripTik List ==
The current list of publicly available TripTiks is [[1420:Expedition_TripTiks|'''found here''']].

== How Do I Help Create Them? ==
Planning a TripTik is a great way to leverage your wanderings into something material that embodies both the spirit of exploration and community service. They are provided as a free service to the community but you might earn extra ISK if people like your TripTiks well enough to tip you in appreciation.

=== Who Can Participate? ===
Any Signal Cartel member may participate; all Signaleers are encouraged to submit TripTiks for publication. Those who do are referred to as Expedition Researchers. However, don’t feel like you have to do all of the work yourself.  We encourage Signaleers to work together in teams as these do take a fair amount of work.

=== TripTik Requirements ===
In order for a TripTik to be published, the following requirements need to be met:
* Expedition Title - Fun, punchy, 25 characters or less
* 1 to 10 waypoints. Requirements for each waypoint are as follows:
** At least one thing of interest to see
** In-game shareable bookmark only if there is not a beacon. If the Site that you are working on has some sort of beacon there isn't a need to include a bookmark. Please make sure and include that info "Warp to the beacon" in your TT!
** Screenshot(s) without GUI (files appropriately named and described)
* Substantive Expedition Highlights details OR brief highlights for each waypoint including short navigation hints to referenced sites and any reference links
* Expedition Researcher(s) – Lead Researcher and their team members should be listed in the final submission
* Spell-checked and edited before submission

=== Tips from Mynxee ===
TripTiks should focus on the why, what, and how of the included sites/locations, presented in a logical flow:

* WHY would someone want to visit this site? It could be because of the related lore, in-game history, compelling visuals, or other reason. This is generally handled in the first paragraph or so.
* WHAT will prospective visitors see when they get there? Briefly describe the physical location and other pertinent details so that prospective visitors can visualize them and have an idea what to expect when they arrive.
* HOW should visitors explore the site? In some cases, there is just one thing to see…a monument or something. In other cases, there maybe several things to see in a site…the TripTik should "take the visitor on a tour" of the site's individual elements with brief descriptions. Even in the case of a single element site like a monument, it's worth encouraging the visitor to view it from various angles, for example, to see what is visible in the background, or notice how the light hits it, etc. People are not always inquisitive, but the TripTik can help them be more so and in the process enjoy more fully the beauty of what exists in New Eden.
* "TripTiks focus on details ABOUT a site, not personal details or experiences..."  TripTiks will mostly be read by capsuleers outside of Signal Cartel. Therefore, no one will have any idea what your personal stories or made up "lore" is about and it will be extraneous and confusing to them - so please don't include this type of stuff.

== How to Research and Submit a TripTik ==
1. Review [[Expedition_TripTiks|the existing TripTiks]] to get a sense for what they are and what content they include. Be sure to confirm there isn't already an [[Expedition_TripTiks|existing TripTik]] as well as no one is currently working it, which you can check for WIP's in the <code>[https://discord.com/channels/152437634927427584/1130095631600459787 🗪1420-expeditionary]</code> Discord forum channel.

2. The Lead Researcher should create a “New Topic” post in our <code>[https://discord.com/channels/152437634927427584/1130095631600459787 🗪1420-expeditionary]</code> Discord forum channel on what you’re working on to avoid duplication of effort. Title your forum post with your first draft expedition name and then tag it with “'''WIP'''” (see below for the Discord Tags List). Of course, you can change the actual title of the expedition later. In your post, describe what you’re working on and any rough draft thoughts, links to references, or other details. You are not required at this time to list all your team members. Please limit yourself to two (2) WIP's at a time to allow for completion of work before moving on to the next one and give others an opportunity to do some as well. Title example, “Katia Sae Memorial”.  Be sure to tag it "WIP".

3. Decide on waypoints to include and gather information about them including system name, site location, and external references. Details must be cited from known good sources (not hearsay) or else identified as speculation or rumors.

4. Write your TripTik up, then spell-check, and edit it for brevity and test any links. Write in a compelling manner that will motivate people to visit the listed sites! Don’t write a book; instead, link to more detailed references. There should be no copying and pasting from any other source TripTiks need to be written up in your own words. Title example: [[1420:Tragedies_of_Exploration|“Tragedies of Exploration”]]

5. Visit your waypoints and create sharable in-game bookmarks. If there is a beacon do not use a bookmark just include warp to the beacon in your TripTik. If you are unsure of how to see beacons on your overview visit this page [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview_settings Eve-Uni overview settings] Also, take a screenshot (without the GUI). [https://signalcartel.org/astrophotography-101 For Astrophotography tips.], see this entry on our blog. Properly name and describe any submitted images with a good name and file description that has emphasis on what is being looked at. 

6. Post your TripTik info in your forum post and be sure to ping '''@jenhoshi''' on Discord when it's ready to be reviewed. Change the tag of your TripTik from "WIP" to "'''SUBMITTED'''".

=== Quick Submission Checklist ===
* Title
* Short 1 or 2-sentence summary
* Introduction summarize the TripTik Waypoint list
* Waypoint summaries with external links
* TIP(s)
* Travel Note(s)
* Screenshot(s)
* In-game bookmark(s) or Warp to the beacon.

=== Discord Tags List ===
TripTik post titles display a Tag in <code>[https://discord.com/channels/152437634927427584/1130095631600459787 🗪1420-expeditionary]</code> Discord forum channel, based on their current status.

Discord tags set by the Researcher:
* '''WIP''' - New TripTik idea post (see [https://wiki.signalcartel.space/Signal_Cartel_Expedition_TripTiks#How_to_Research_and_Submit_a_TripTik How to Submit a TripTik)].
* '''SUBMITTED''' - TripTik is ready for Curator review.

Discord tags set by the Curator/SC Leadership:
* '''POSTED''' - TripTik has been published on our [[Expedition_TripTiks|public wiki here]].
* '''DUPLICATE''' - TripTik subject duplicates existing TripTik content; topic will be locked.
* '''OBSOLETE''' - TripTik subject is obsolete for some reason, such as game mechanics, player actions, or another reason unrelated to the Researcher. Obsolete posts are locked.
* '''INACTIVE''' - TripTik is inactive because Researcher has left or was removed from the corp. Inactive TripTik ideas can be freely taken up by an SC member in a new post and may freely pull content from the inactive post. Inactive posts are locked.

=== Publication ===
When TripTik submissions are posted, [https://evewho.com/character/94500439 Jen Hoshi] will review and approve them. They will then be converted into the standard TripTik layout for the wiki. The page will be added to and linked in the [[Expedition_TripTiks|TripTiks table]]. Once your TripTik is published, you are encouraged to share it with the community far and wide. Signal Cartel Leadership will promote TripTiks in social media and elsewhere.

=== Payouts ===
Since these do take a fair amount of effort, we’re going to offer compensation in the form of ISK as follows:
* Single Waypoint TripTik: 100 million ISK – See [[1420:Choonka’s_Ship_Wash|TripTik006 “Choonka’s Ship Wash”]]
