Editing Sites (section)

=Cosmic Signatures=

Most of the interesting and profitable sites appear in the scanner as cosmic signatures. The specifics of how to "scan down" these signatures is covered in another section of this guide, but there are a few steps in the scanning process that relate to the types of sites that can be found. 

When a signature is 25% scanned, the scanning window will give a category of the site being scanned: relic, data, combat (gated), gas, or wormhole. At this point it's possible to abandon scanning a site; explorers planning to hack relic and data sites won't need to spend time scanning down gas sites, for example. 

When a signature is 75% scanned, the full name of the site will be given. For example, a pirate data site will have information such as the pirate faction and overall quality of the site, while a gated combat site will indicate the type and strength of enemies that can be found there.
