Sensor Net

Fact	Value

On complete	toast Job complete: Sensor Net
Done when	signal 3 sensor_deployed
Reward	220 credits

Establish a sensor picket. Each Sensor Beacon costs 8 salvage: tow a hulk to the Refinery Platform and it pays out in processed material, or shoot open a wreck and collect the cache. A station market will sell you salvage too, at a price. Engineering fabricates the beacons on the Fabricate tab and delivers them to Weapons, who deploys three across the patrol lanes.

On complete	toast Job complete: Clear the Grazing Herd
Done when	signal herd_cleared
Reward	180 credits

A pod of grazers has drifted into a shipping lane. Do NOT fire on them - they turn hostile if provoked. A Bio Beacon costs 5 salvage and 1 bio sample. Salvage comes from the Refinery Platform, from wrecks, or from a station market; a bio sample is recovered from a dead space creature - a station will sell you one if the lane is quiet. Set the beacon to REPEL grazers, deploy it among the pod, and drive them clear.

Done when	signal predator_baited
Reward	350 credits

A Ravener is loose in the lanes. It FEEDS on weapon fire - shooting only heals it - so do not engage. A Bio Beacon costs 5 salvage and 1 bio sample (see Salvage Sweep, or open a wreck). Set it to ATTRACT the ravener, deploy it beside the black hole, and let the hole do the rest.

Done when	signal 3 picket_placed
Reward	320 credits

DS 1 wants the lane junction covered by automated guns. Fleet drops turret kits alongside you - grav-tether each crate, tow it into the marked Picket Line zone, release it, and unfold it there.
