Ok, i have scanned hundreds of sites, easily achieved 100%, warped to it etc. But there are the odd couple of sites, usually mag and radar that i can never get 100%, even at 0.25 au range. i can only achieve 75% or 80%. I even sometimes get 45-50% with one probe, but with 4 probes only 70 or 80. Do i really need 5 probes for these sites? .

More probes might help if you were close to 100%, however at 75% you will need better skills, and rigs for your scanning ship, and also make sure you're using a hull that has the scanning bonus.
I found a medium sized grav site last night with the "good" minerals (i.e. jaspet etc) and I could only get to 85% no matter how I arranged my probes.
I was in this same position a week ago, and got a couple of rigs, and then was able to get to 100%.

Edited by: Mawusi on 02/05/2009 04:45:26 4 probes is all you need. If you are only getting 75-80% hit then move the probes closer together, or shift them about ever so slightly. I usually find that after a few more scans I will eventually get the 100% hit. Ive not found a sig I couldnt locate with a bit of fiddling....

I had the same problem with a few sites on SISI. Particularly a highsec grav site, even scanning from a buzzard (caldari covops). Screenshow follows. http://eve-files.com/dl/195540 What you see there is a scan where I am operating at maximum zoom. After more than 20 minutes of shifting the probes back and forth around this spot, this was as strong as it got. Was using standard core probles and expanded launcher, on a buzzard, with covops trained to IV, so scan strenght should not have been the issue.
Scanning down a number of other sites was far easier and much faster (and completed at much greater range). E.g. a drone site and a wormhole in the neighboring system, so I would not put this down to scanning incompetence.
Some sites simply just feel like ghosts, messing with your probes.

There are some sites out there that require an absolute minimum scan strength on your probes in order to narrow them down. I've recently (as of Apocrpyha 1.1) started finding some tough RADAR hits in lowsec that required specialized equipment in order to find.
With an unbonused Ishkur, 4/4/4/4 probing skills, at 0.25AU, the highest scan strength I could get was 85% With a Anathema with Covert Ops 4, two gravity capacitor rigs, a Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, and Core Scanner Probes, at 0.25AU, the highest scan strength I could get was 96% Finally, I launched the Sisters Core Scanner Probes, and got a 100% hit on the first try at 0.25AU
The usual placement "tricks" did not help in this case, with both the Ishkur and Covert Ops (without the Sisters probes) there was a hard limit that I would bump into no matter how precisely or randomly the probes were placed around the signature.

with grav and mag sites i get this problem.i use covert ops with 2 strenght rigs sister probes and sister scaner.and more then 80% i can get on some of this sites.
