This is a beginner's Thera and Turnur Scanning Guide intended to explain how to keep our [https://www.eve-scout.com/#/ EvE-Scout Hub Connections] up-to-date using the [https://scan.eve-scout.com/ Hub Scan Tool]. The primary audience is newer scouts who are not experienced with the process.  Each scout has their own method, and what works for a very experienced scout will probably not work for a less experienced pilot. 
The Thera and Turnur Scanning Guide is intended to explain how to keep our [https://www.eve-scout.com/ EvE-Scout Wormhole Connections] website up-to-date using the [https://scan.eve-scout.com/ Hub Scan Tool].

=== Clear the Expired Signatures ===
While it may seem counterintuitive at first, clearing expired signatures (highlighted in orange) should be prioritized over mapping new signatures.  This is because capsuleers will plan their routes based on potentially dated information and non-existent wormhole connections.  So clear those expired sigs!

EvE-Scout Mapping
Thera and Turnur Scanning
Tools

The Thera and Turnur Scanning Guide is intended to explain how to keep our EvE-Scout Wormhole Connections website up-to-date using the Hub Scan Tool.

Tools of the Trade[edit]

Hub Scan Tool[edit]

  • The Hub Scan Tool is a web-based program that helps to coordinate, simplify and speed up the process of scanning and recording Thera and Turnur signatures, while reducing typing errors. The tool makes it quick to see what signatures are expired or new, co-ordinates work between pilots, and maintains the list of signatures published on our public EvE-Scout Wormhole Connections page.
  • These tools were created as a gift to Signal Cartel by the Engineering Team:
    • API
      • Sky Diamond - main devloper of the API and overall project lead
      • Ezra Cyrix - unit test developer and helpful listener to Sky's ramblings
      • Kamja Seas - jumped at the opportunity to support with a data validation script
      • Millener Audeles - advisor with general architecture and other dev exchange
      • Okamainen al'Anzomi - major developer of the authentication part, general architecture, unit test developer and lots more
      • Tekufah - advisor about all the in-game details where Sky has no clue and testing the routing algorithm
      • Vega Blazar - editing, proofreading, and and documentation
    • Hub Scan Tool (HST)
    • Public Website www.eve-scout.com

Thera and Turnur Scanning Instructions[edit]

Preparation[edit]

  • Be in Thera or Turnur, undocked, and preferably cloaked at a safe in the scanning ship of your choice.
  • Join the EvE-Scout.TheraMap chat channel.
  • Online the shared in-game bookmark folders:
    • Signal Cartel \\ Thera: this is our private folder. Put your bookmarks here!
    • EVE-Scout \\ Thera: this is our public folder. Only Bookmark Managers have write permission.
    • Links are given in the Alliance and Intel Channel chat MOTDs.
  • Open the Hub Scan Tool and log in your pilot.
  • Check the Hub Selector is set correctly:

Assess the Status of the Current Thera or Turnur Map Using the Hub Scan Tool[edit]

Import the current lists of Thera/Turnur signatures from your Probe Scanner window into the Hub Scan Tool. See the instructions in the tool for more information.

Import Signatures Tab[edit]

  • Copy all of the Cosmic Signatures from your Probe Scanner window (you need to filter out all anomalies in your Probe Scanner window first) and paste them here (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V), then click the Update button to start mapping. If a new signature appears in your Probe Scanner later, copy and paste just that one into the import tab then Update to add it.

Scan Signatures Tab[edit]

  • The "Scan Signatures" tab in the Hub Scan Tool will populate a table that cross-references with Probe Scanner data:
    • Expired signatures are highlighted in orange,
    • New signatures are highlighted in blue:

Clear the Expired Signatures[edit]

While it may seem counterintuitive at first, clearing expired signatures (highlighted in orange) should be prioritized over mapping new signatures. This is because capsuleers will plan their routes based on potentially dated information and non-existent wormhole connections. So clear those expired sigs!

  • Tip: There is a 'Sort by: working order' option under the signatures list. If you select this, the signatures will sort into working order.

Confirm the Signature is Expired In-game[edit]

  • Open the in-game Probe Scanner window and confirm that the expired signature ID is not listed.

Delete the Expired Signature from Hub Scan Tool[edit]

  • By selecting trash icon:
  • The new tool will update almost instantly for all users.

Map the New Signatures[edit]

New signatures need to be scanned down, mapped, and then added to Hub Scan Tool. Using the Tool to help manage your workflow, you will work from left to right for each New Signature highlighted in blue on the "Scan Signatures" table.

  • By clicking on the pen icon you automatically claim the signature (if another mapper will try to click on the sig you're working on, an alert will pop up on their Tool denoting the sig has been claimed by your pilot).

Scan Down the Cosmic Signature[edit]

  • Scan down the signature and assuming it's a wormhole, you're in business!
    • If it's a combat, data, relic or gas site enter its type in the Tool, save it, and move on to the next signature.

NOTE: Teaching proper scanning techniques is beyond the scope of this guide. To learn more about scanning down Cosmic Signatures please see our Explorer's Handbook Scanning page.

Map the Signature[edit]

You will use the Hub Scan Tool to expedite your workflow moving from left to right along the row.

Enter the Outgoing Thera/Turnur-side Wormhole Type[edit]
  • Warp to the wormhole.
    • Once you are on grid with the wormhole, look for it's type on your in-game Overview. If it's not 'K162', enter it into the Type column of the Hub Scan Tool. For K162 you may just tab to the next field as this will be auto-populated.
    • Also, right click on the wormhole and select the "Show Info" option to discover if the wormhole's lifetime is end-of-life (the info will show “reaching the end of its natural lifetime”). Fill the dedicated tick in Hub Scan Tool if the WH is EOL (end of life).
Enter the Incoming Wormhole Type and Destination System[edit]
  • Jump through the wormhole (assuming it's safe).
  • Enter the incoming wormhole's type (if it's k162, it will be auto-populated).
  • Confirm the far system's name into the Hub Scan Tool (it will auto-detect via the ESI):
Enter the Incoming Wormhole Signature[edit]
  • Enter the incoming wormhole's signature in the Far System's Signature ID into the Hub Scan Tool.
    • If there are multiple Cosmic Signatures in the far system, you will have to scan down which one you came in through.
    • Highlight the signature in the Probe Scanner window, copy it (Ctrl-C), and then paste it (Ctrl-V) into the "Far System's Signature ID" field in the Hub Scan Tool.
  • You've just mapped your first signature! Now, let's create some bookmarks to help share it with all of New Eden.

Create the Far System "In Bookmark"[edit]

Once all the fields in the Hub Scan Tool are filled in for the New Signature, "In bookmark" and "Out bookmark" labels will be generated by the tool.

  • Click the "In bookmark" label to copy it to your clipboard.
  • Right-click on the wormhole from your in-game Overview to save its exact location (this is important!).
    • Select 'Save Location...':
  • A "New Location" window for your in-game bookmark will pop up:
    • Paste the "In Bookmark" into the Label field (Ctrl-V).
    • Make sure the folder is set to: Signal Cartel \\ Thera.
    • Set the Expire time to "Never" (2 days is also okay).
    • Click the "Submit" button.

Create the Thera/Turnur-side "Out Bookmark"[edit]

  • Jump back through the wormhole to Thera or Turnur.
  • In the Hub Scan Tool, click the "Out bookmark" label to copy it to your clipboard.
  • Repeat the exact same steps as above to bookmark the Thera/Turnur-side of the wormhole.
    • Remember to right-click on the wormhole from your in-game Overview to save its exact location (this is important!).
  • It should look like this:

Submit the New Signature in the Hub Scan Tool[edit]

  • Submit the new signature to HST by clicking the tick on the rightmost column of the "Scan Signatures" table in the Hub Scan Tool.
  • This will automatically update Hub Scan Tool data into our EvE-Scout Wormhole Connections.

Double-Check Yourself and Then Admire Your Work[edit]

  • After submitting your signatures, always double-check yourself:
    • Check your bookmarks using the Hub Scan Tool
    • Check EvE-Scout Wormhole Connections to make sure your sigs were properly pushed to the website. Note: There may be a delay of up to 10 minutes before the sig shows on the website.
  • If everything is ok, please take a moment to bask in the glow of a job well done. Congrats! Now get on with the next sig because Thera and Turnur are ever-changing and mysterious places that you are now a part of!
