TIL about “The Agency”

Today I learned about The Agency tab on my Neocom.  What a beautiful thing.  Up until last night, I was searching systems for ombre and kernite anomalies by using the “opportunities” tab.  Well, for those of you who don’t know, that only shows out to one or two systems.  It does give details as to what the anomaly contains, but its range makes it a chore to search for them while in a fleet of an Orca, 2 Hulks and a Covetor.  The Orca lags well behind even mining barges in warp. 

The Agency tab contains a lot of information.  Not only can you search for anomalies, but you can also search for mission agents, ice belts, asteroid belts, etc.  While it wont necessarily tell you the composition of an ore anomaly, it will tell you where they are and you can select how many jumps out you want to look.  Be aware though, it also factors in faction-run mining missions.  Since I’m in Amarr space, it will bring up Imperial mining operations, which at level 1 or 2 wont allow my fleet to enter.  As of right now, drilling down on those shows that they are mostly veldspar anyway.

Just thought I put it out there.  An old dog can learn new tricks.

Fly safe.
