Is there any website, tool, voodoo, etc., to find compromised nav beacons?

They crop up in systems that have their state listed as 'outbreak' ive noticed. Ive seen a few in anarchy systems with outbreak whilst Ive searched for convoy beacons.

Try filtering for 'Civil Unrest' state in the galaxy map. I think the two things are related.

No I'm pretty sure they're a permanent fixture. The few I do know off by heart, have been that way since CNBs were added. Those systems have been through all manner of states.

I don't think system state has anything to do with it.

Some CNBs do revert to normal 'uncompromised' nav beacons over time, not sure why or how. You can see in the thread after the list, commanders reporting beacons that have changed back to normal beacons after previously being reported as compromised.

Huh. Then my mate is very lucky. The beacon at Dala has been a CNB since they first arrived.

I went back and checked the thread and to be fair, there were only 2 beacons there which have been reported to have changed back, most of them it seems are pretty much permanent. I have 3 within about 50 ly of my home system and they have always been compromised.
 
My understanding is *original* Anarchy systems have compromised nav beacons. So many systems have changed hands since the game's gone live though.

Failing that, I think "Low" security status might also do it. Can't do some quick checks at the moment since we're all suffering updateitis.

My (non-anarchy) faction conquered an original anarchy system well before Compromised Nav Beacons were in the game (Controlling station still has the "Rise up now" paintwork), and the nav beacon has forever been a "compromised" one.

I've seen a few posts hunting for these. I seem to see them regularly in my travels (although I dont keep track so not much help for the OP).

I am curious though, why do people hunt for these? I've dropped into a few but didn't see much going on.

As I understand it, the security link goes down when you enter normal space, so almost no chance of authority vessels getting involved, akin to a bubble of anarchy in an otherwise low/mid/high-sec system - I'm not 100% on this as I've never really bothered investigating.

Ah so more like the hazardous res of beacons :p
 
Yeah, they work the same way - not bothered with those much either, maybe now I've got my FAS it's time to investigate.
