This is meant for amusement purposes only, but is a true story.
Imagine you are 14jumps in null sec, the immediate area is mostly safe except for a few reds passing by but not to much to worry about in my cloaky buzzard. For the past 20mins I have been trying to scan down a salvage site, but with no luck. With astrometrics trained to 4 I am under the impression (noobish it may be) that I can only utilize 4 sister core scan probes. Well no matter what I do these 4 probes can not lock down this salvage site (91.98% is best I can get) so a corp mate states the obvious, "go get more probes, you can use more than 4." After some disbelief I head to our base system and to my heart's dismay see that I do not have even one more probe here . After asking me corp mates if any of them have "1" more probe in this "mmo" no one responds....... After asking again I get a response that basically no one has one so I am told to "check the corp hanger." I buzz over to our Caldari alliance corp hanger to find so many useful armor repping and cap boosting mods (WTF are these even doing in here besides to cause frustration). Than I make the next logical choice I will go buy one.... 8 jumps through null sec away...... So I get within one jump and you can guess what happens here, yup GATE CAMP! 3 reds with a bubble which I just happen to land on top of (yes I know should of used directional scanner and gone to planet blah blah) I have the awesome luck to land 1400m from one of them and they blow my buzzard and pod to dust.
Their are probably many lessons to be learned by this, needless to say I will be blowing off a little steam and cleaning up the shattered glass for a little while. I can say that the level of frustration EVE can cause is matched by no other game I have played, so see you all in a couple days while I go try to salvage a cheap buzz in RL.

FYI you only need 4 probes, just overlap them even more, and don't forget the 3rd dimension Go go tetrahedron. |

Even though you can use more than 4 probes at once (if you have the skill for it) it doesn't increase the signature strength. Only 4 probes affect that at a time
