Dependencies

Mining Beacon Descrambler

Rock Hermits are usually not transmitting publicly accessible beacons, that's why they are invisible on compass. But when Rock Hermit is surrounded by five or more asteroids within scanner range, it transmits special scrambled beacon that can be detected only with this equipment. But that's not all - this scrambling algorithm is pretty secure and requires valid keys to operate. Local Mining Associations have established galaxy-wide key-changing scheme that is accessible only to active miners. With every ton of cargo you are dispatching on contract terms local mining associations renews your keys for 15 minutes. So, dispatching fully loaded Mining Transporter gives you 3 hours of ability to locate hermits within asteroid fields. Take note, while your descrambling keys are universal and may survive witchjumps, time that is skipped while jumping will be lost.

• Press 'b' to check keys expiration status.
• Press 'n' to scan system and add discovered hermits to Advanced Space Compass.
