I just read the evelopedia on base signal strengths and I'm more confused now than when I started searching. Can someone explain base signal strengths and band widths in a semi-noob friendly manner? (if that's possible lol) |

The idea is that if you run a DSP, you can tell how good a site is by the signal strength results. It is adjusted for skills and such, so the chart won't be totally accurate until you can adjust for your skills. The wiki has the chart of the sites and their quality or "band" they reside in. A DSP is the ideal use in this case, because it's scan radius is so huge, the results won't be distorted as badly by the falloff (i.e. strengths near the center are returned stronger than those near the edge.)
This stuff is kind of advanced stuff. If you don't have much experience in probing, and have mastered good probing fundamentals, the rest won't likely be that useful to you. |

1. Drop a single probe (deep space [256 au] >> combat [64 au] >>>> core [32 au]). If you need to drop more than one probe to cover a system, then just disable all but one at a time so you don't need to move them between scans. 2. Put it at max range. 3. Scan. 4. Sort the signal strengths from lowest to highest.
You will notice that there is a progression: * Small * Medium: 2 * small * Large: 2 * medium
The strengths change with skills and equipment, but not the relative strengths.
Valuable sites tend to be small. Wormholes tend to be large (there are exceptions).
Keep a history of what you find in your in-game notepad.
For example, mine from w-space [strength description * count]:
3.92 LADAR minor * 3 3.87 C5 static * 2 3.86 K162 dangerous 3.86 WH C5 static 3.83 K162 null 3.82 WH 3.82 C5 static 3.80 C5 static 3.77 LADAR Sizeable 3.76 LADAR Token 3.71 K162 dangerous 3.70 LADAR Minor * 2 3.68 WH K162 null 3.67 K162 deadly 3.65 LADAR Ordinary 3.60 K162 deadly * 2 3.60 K162 dangerous 3.59 K162 null 3.55 LADAR Sizeable 3.53 LADAR Ordinary 3.53 GRAV Ordinary 3.52 WH K162 null 3.44 WH K162 dangerous 3.42 WH C5 static 3.42 LADAR Token 3.39 WH C5 static 3.38 WH C5 static * 6 3.36 GRAV Ordinary 3.34 WH C5 static 3.29 LADAR Sizeable * 8 3.29 WH K162 dangerous * 2 3.20 WH K162 dangerous 3.20 WH H296 C5 static

Or simply use this site, set it to the faction and type of space you're in and then enter your probe's base sensor strength. To get that, open fitting window and click info on the probe itself (not the probe launcher). Amat victoria curam. |
