Every [[Nodes|node]] has a discovery difficulty rating, typically between 5-100. When you perform a scan, a D100 + installed [[Sensor Scan Attribute|Sensor Scan]] Result [[mods]] roll occurs. If the results of that roll beat the connected, but undiscovered node's difficulty rating, an alert will appear under the scan progress bar. When the page is reloaded, the [[Nodes|node]] and subsequent space lane will appear as a location you can travel to. | Every [[Nodes|node]] has a discovery difficulty rating, typically between 5-100.

Each node has its own requirement of how many [[Energy Cell|energy cells]] are needed to activate it. The number ranges from 1 (very common) to 500 (rare) and in extremely rare cases, the [[Energy Cell|energy cell]] requirement can reach as high as 5,000. | Each node has its own requirement of how many [[Energy Cell|energy cells]] are needed to activate it.

Once activated, a [[Nodes|node]] will use X number of energy per hour. Typically, a [[Nodes|node]] will use 1 energy per hour.

This combination makes mod-camping for a specific mod a waste of your time. However some mods acquired in the Outlands can be sold, making mod scavenging somewhat profitable. It still relies on luck though. | ||

==Actions== | |||
There are a few options to use in the Outlands. In the Galactic Map, here are the options: | |||
Preform Scan- Your ship will scan for a node. | |||
Center- If you wander too far in the map, the center button will center the map back to your ship. | |||
Return to Ship- Sets the page to geministation.com/ship | |||
Activate Beacon/Confirm Beacon- An emergency beacon for... emergencies probably. Either because you want to go back to the Solar System or you hit a dead end really far away from a supergate. Upon usage, you will be sent to Gemini's Breach. The emergency beacon does not have a cooldown between uses. | |||
Plot- With supporter status, you can type down nodes in order to get to a specific node without having to repeatedly click on the nodes between. | |||
Long range scanning is useless in a node, as it does basically nothing. Salvaging is possible but it is unlikely you will get items from salvaging on a node. | |||
