Skills Needed to Probe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1) Science <\/em>to level 3 which you need for Astrometrics and Astrometeric Rangefinding
\n2) Astrometrics<\/em> to level 4 which allows one additional probe in space per level and also needed to learn Acquisition and Pinpointing. You need level 5 to operate Deep Space Probes.
\n3) Astrometric Acquisition<\/em> to at least level 3 – 10% reduction in scan probe scan time per level.
\n4) Astrometric Pinpointing<\/em> to at least level 3 – Greater accuracy in hunting down targets found through scanning. Reduces maximum scan deviation by 10% per level.
\n5) Astrometric Rangefinding<\/em> to at least level 4 – 10% increase to scan probe strength per level. (slowest to raise)<\/p>\n

Raising the last 3 to level 5 will help speed up your tracking down of Cosmic Signatures inside the wormhole.<\/p>\n

Other Skills to Consider<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jury Rigging 1 to add the optional scan rigs
\nHacking
\nArcheology
\nSalvaging
\nMining
\nCovert Ops
\nGas Cloud Harvesting<\/p>\n

Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Core Scanner Probes \u2013 Minimum 4 \u2013 Max scan range 32 AU
\nDeepspace Scanner Probes \u2013 1 \u2013 Max scan range 256 AU
\nI would keep more in the cargo hold just in case \u2013 Probes will disappear after being in space for an Hour.
\nExpanded Probe Launcher or Core Probe Launcher \u2013 Core Probe Launchers will not launch a Deep Space Probe\u2026so I would use an expanded one.<\/p>\n

Optional Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sisters Core Scan Probe Launcher & Sisters Expanded Scan Probe Launcher give a 5% increase in scan strength
\nSisters Core Scanner Probe have a 10% increase to base scan strength
\nGravity Capacitor Upgrade I Rig (adds 10% strength to probes)
\nGravity Capacitor Upgrade II Rig (adds 15% strength to probes)
\nCovert Ops Cloaking Device II
\nCodebreaker
\nAnalyzer
\nSalvager
\nGas Cloud Harvester
\nThere are a few implants that boost strength, scan time, and reduce deviation
\nShield booster to refresh your shield when warping thru wormholes. They do a little damage to you sometimes.<\/p>\n

Ships<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For starters \u2013 you can use a simple Frigate. The following give a bonus to scan strength: Heron, Imicus, Magnate, Probe<\/em><\/p>\n

If you are serious about scanning then you will want to invest in a Covert Ops Frigate which gives a little more bonus to scan strength: Anathema, Buzzard, Cheetah, Helios. <\/em><\/p>\n

You will need the appropriate skill to fly them. Being able to scan while hidden and warp to the areas to scope them out without revealing yourself is REALLY nice. Remember, most of the time you are in 0.0 space and not able to defend yourself well in a scanning ship all alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
