Scan Wormhole how?

Post by Bryan »

I have a wormhole scanner.
How do I activate it?

I tried hyperspacing, then I target my wormhole, but all it says is "Witchpoint Beacon"
There is no destination:(

The [EliteWiki] wormhole scanner is for NPC wormholes - it will tell you which system an NPC has hyperspaced to.
You can then hitch a free ride or not, depending on if the destination system suits you.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Occasionly, if you hitch a free ride, the NPC will not head for the planet/station in the destination system. It'll head for the sun instead, scoop some fuel, then hyperspace on out to another system. All good fun, following those - if you have the patience, that is.
