I've searched and while it gets mentioned occasionally, there's never anything flat suggesting how to do it.
I want something to observe the Jump points in my empire. I have a number of colonies and while I can build either some kind of OWP and tow it there or plant a Civvie ship whose sole job it is to stare at the JP and scream if something comes through.
I've been looking and it seems like a bouy might work AND avoid me having umpteen million task groups. All it needs to do is sit there and say "Hey something came in. If it gets nuked then, it's fine.
So, any thoughts or suggestions?
Oh and no, planting a listening post means I have FAR too many colonies showing on my F2 screen. Besides, it doesn't work when the JP's are really far out.
