Just a stray thought that got out when I was dreaming delusions of grandeur.
Would love to see this thread become a kinda central repository for various tips, strategies, configurations, etc., that the Monsters of the Universe have discovered.
JJL is particularly good at this, a lot of his posts around the Forum have an "I used to do this but now I'm..." content.
Who else has info like this that could serve as guideposts and/or targets to/of opportunity?

And that's absolutely my intent, Amigo. It'll likely be some time before the information I envision showin' up in this thread is stuff I can even USE, though. I reckon I'm just about as far from 'Pro' as it's possible to be. Still, I'm pretty certain that there's a place for this sort of informational gold. How 'bout it, folks? This'd be a cool place for you Elite creatures to tease da noobs, baffle your targets, mislead, misguide and misdirect threats to your holdings and maybe even give a promising space-Neanderthal a leg up on what to think about next.

Can anyone tell me if putting two stations in orbit is better if I want to protect the one which is weaker by putting them together? I know putting all your eggs in one basket isn't good, but neither is leaving your eggs unprotected!?

Find yourself a nice backwater planet and just put NINE in orbit, protected by a decent sized ship. Solar for solar the cheapest and most efficient defence.

A lot of my old tips are a bit outdated lol. Still they hold some basis. I won't likely be writing up any more faqs or guides though. My heart just isn't into the game like it used to be.

1) How do I know if a big deposit is the result of a mission someoen else is doing? If it's the result of a mission and I put miners on it, what if that causes the player doing the mission to attack my miners?
2) If I click on "Rival Modules" and the Owner field is empty, what's that mean?

1. It is the opinion of the Empire that if you find a large deposit and there is nobody there, it belongs to you. If someone else is mining, it is theirs (regardless of any open slots - ask permission to share). And if you discover a large deposit where someone is mining something else, you should ask permission to share the planet.
2. It usually means someone fought a pirate nest (or hijacking) and had modules on the planet that were captured by the pirates, thus belonging to nobody.
(edit for the usual reasons)

How do you start an active scan remotely using a wormhole detector which is located on a station?
The WHD Logs section says you can start a scan using a detector which it says can be on a station.

sigh... the WHD only does static scans and is not capable of deep scanning. I have complained about this in another topic.

What do you mean? Can I use a wormhole detector which is installed on a station?

As of now, a WHD only registers what is coming into it's range. If it is deployed on a ship, you can order a scan at any time, but it will only tell you a wormhole is either forthcoming, present, or closing. it does not tell you who is opening the 'ole.
If it is deployed on a station however, it will only perform a 'static' scan and not a deep scan.
But either way, you will only know that a wormhole is about to open, is open, or has closed.
(edit because - giggle)
