Tourist Beacon

86.21.84.209: How to initiate the scan.

[[File:Tourist-Beacon-Asp.png|thumb|300px|Tourist beacon]]

There are hundreds of tourist beacons in the [[galaxy]]. They can be found in space and on the surface of [[planets]] or [[moons]].

For [[Passenger Carrier|passenger missions]] you can scan tourist beacons to learn about in-game lore and earn exploration awards. Scanning occurs by approaching the beacon, point your ship at the beacon, then attempt to scan or wait for an automatic scan. It'll send an inbox message with a blurb of that beacon and completes the objective.

Scanning can be performed via the contacts menu and selecting the beacon.

Sidewinder

2014-08-16T13:06:07Z

86.21.250.42: /* Overview (Beta) */

[[File:Sidewinder16x9.jpg|thumb|400px|Sidewinder Mk. I]]
Built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], the '''Sidewinder Mk I''' is a superb multi-role ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive - free, in fact - and can be used for light transport and combat duties.

Its maneuverability makes it an excellent choice for both green and experienced pilots. The Sidewinder is a dependable vessel that will get you where you need to go, safe and sound.

== Overview (Beta) ==
The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder if they can't or don't want to replace their ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find themselves flying it for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is very maneuverable compared to any other available ship, save the [[Eagle Mk II|Eagle]]. In particular, it can out-turn a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] or [[Anaconda]], stay aimed at subsystems, and still keep enough range to lay down fire. Combined with heavy weaponry like missile pods, the Sidewinder can punch far above its weight. The major disadvantages of the Sidewinder is that it isn't very quick, being outclassed by Eagles, [[Viper Mk III|Vipers]], and Cobras, and that it isn't well armored, being far outclassed by Anacondas and [[Lakon Type 9|Lakon haulers]].

The Sidewinder is thus a master of the knife-fight, but a little weak at a distance. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmaneuver it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that has can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.
