THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

Map Waypoints
The TRI map module uses two types of waypoints: mission waypoints
and user defined waypoints. (Displayed below.)
Mission waypoints are set at time of mission accept, and user
waypoints can be set at any time. Waypoints will only remain active on
your map until the marked sector is visited. (Certain mission waypoints
will remain until the mission has been completed.)
Mission Waypoint - Displays locations of space which
are directly involved with the current mission.
User Defined Waypoint - Displays waypoints of your
choosing.
Travel Advisory System
The TRI Travel Advisory System (TAS) system places indicators on
the flight map to alert pilots to sectors which might be hazardous due
to recent combat activity. Originally intended as a safety measure,
TAS is also useful to bounty hunters or factional combat pilots looking
to see where "the action is".
Cargo pilots intending to pass through a Hazard Zone are urged to
hire or otherwise arrange combat escort, as a precaution.
Amber Travel Zones - indicate relatively low levels
of threat, usually an isolated incident, or an event
that happened several minutes in the past and now
represents "stale" information.
Red Travel Zones - indicate recent or sustained
combat action and are best avoided by peaceful
traffic.
