The only problem with scanning i can think of is the so-so camera controls when you're moving your probes around... other than that i don't think you should be complaining, a little practice in scanning and you won't be having trouble.
Also, if you want better loot, get out of 0.5 and try scanning null relic / data sites. |

You just need to train more mate .. and train for a cov ops .. really worth it ... also get out of high sec else you'll never make a profit . And speaking of profit .. aren't you in gal FW ? .im assuming you're trying to do these for fun no ? if so .. again , get out of high sec ..
Sometime in the last week I inadvertently switch to my alt and I missed some replies. Whoops.
Why the question about the Gallente FW? I just got back to EVE and I need to understand it better and I haven't got to it. FW was not here last time.
Why ask about the FW? What difference does it make? Right now I am just trying things out to decide what I want to do. I am mining to build up reserves so it doesn't hurt so much when a ship blows up.

OP is just getting fooled by the double sig situation, when two points appear for one site and you pick the false signal.
Just remember where the other one is before you scan the first and move probes and rescan. |

Also, take your imicus into a WH. The ship is so cheap and enemies so few, its the perfect time to make the big bucks.
I made this guide that might assist.

It's funny you should say that. I lost my first Venture was when I went into a WH. It was empty on my first two trips but the third, I got blow'd up. It spooked me and I lost my nerve. Another WH guys were living there and I lost my Imicus.
But you made a good point - the Imi is cheap so I need to get over that! I love going into WH and you can make good bux there. Problem I see is that most sites have red-painted guarding them and they are pretty strong.
Thanks for replying! |

I have some exploration exasperation too, so I have some ideas for the exploration mechanics for changes to be added. I would like to see something that give a reasonable hold in the eve reality in what would be the experience of hacking being a capsuleer in the ship, and that would make the exploration less routine.
The idea is based on how the objects at sites need to be approached in order to open them, because as they have been around in space sometimes for ages and possible been attacked at some point, they likely have some damage or malfunction. I imagine they can have one or more of these problems/challenges:
There are the ones that exist: Security systems with the firewall and antivirus, and with the self destructing timer
In addition, I think one or more of the following could be realistic problems of the objects that are encountered on the sites: No Power left Malfunctioning cargo bay door Damaged cpu (the Controls of the cargo bay door)
Each of these would have either an effect on your ship or give a technical challenge. For the new problems there could be either a challenge or effect on your ship, sometimes instead of the hacking minigame:
if the object has no power left - to spark the systems in the object you would have to sacrifice some of your capacitor.
Malfunctioning cargo bay door mechanism - Remote repairing puzzle. I was thinking this could be a reaction based minigame, pressing keyboard buttons, corresponding to parts and gears having to be repaired by a remote repairer. Perhaps not a dedicated remote repairer module, it could be an added functionality to the relic and data scanners. This minigame could be omitted though, instead just having the effect as if you were using a remote repairer through using the relic or data skanner.
Damaged cpu - you would have to use some of your cpu power
Hopefully these would add a bit less predictability to the exploring, as it would be random which one or ones of these you would encounter. You would also have to account for the added challenge of temporarily reduced cpu or capacitor. Bringing along someone would be an advantage as several of the challenges could be done simultaneously.
Since these things will likely make more time pass, there would be necessary with some balancing like maybe adding ecm bursts to high sec, or just make it harder in some way to d-scan you while you're at these sites, due to some interference from the objects at the site being so close to your ship. Another possibility is that the distance where you automatically are decloaked is increased when at these sites.
I would like to see exploration taken even further, making it even more meaningful and rewarding. If you could dock at the object and be shielded by the object while docked, like at a station, there could be the possibility for some very interesting gameplay. Maybe not possible at every site but at some special ones. |

What do you consider decent scanning skills?
With a sisters launcher and sisters probes I rarely have to scan more than 3-4 times for any given sig, even in WHs/Null |
