Andrian Caldar	Posted - 2011.02.27 08:39:00 - [1] When probing for wormholes and other stuff, I often get a 99.99% signal strength result - even with Core scanner probes set at 0.25 AU. This is of course is useless since I cant jump to it. I currently have: Astro Rangefinding 4 Astro Deviation 3 Does anyone with Max skills know if training these to 5 makes a noticable difference in scanning result quality?
Cynosural Sari	Posted - 2011.02.27 08:47:00 - [2] Erotic self-asphyxiation is a bad thing man. Don't do it. You might end up like Carradine in a Bangkok hotel closet somewhere.

Andrian Caldar	Posted - 2011.02.27 09:38:00 - [4] Ok. Thanks for that.... but does anyone know the answer to the question?
Noun Verber Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.27 09:54:00 - [5] What sort of pattern are you using? Something that small might by positioning and the way that you scan. __________ A note on voting for CSM 6: Do not vote for someone just because they named issues that you support, instead try to gauge the thinking behind them and try to vote for someone who w
Shoopa Whoopa	Posted - 2011.02.27 10:09:00 - [6] Edited by: Shoopa Whoopa on 27/02/2011 10:09:09 Main has Astrometrics 4, Aquisition/Rangefinding/Pinpointing 3, and so far he managed to scan down everything he got any result for using ordinary probes and a Heron (Caldari Frigate 4). I'm quite sure that if you get 99,99% you should be able to get 100%, skill & equipment wise.

I currently have: Astro Rangefinding 4 Astro Deviation 3 Does anyone with Max skills know if training these to 5 makes a noticable difference in scanning result quality? If you can get the result to 95%, you can get it to 100%. Just get rid of the 5th probe, ok? Thank me later. Here is an example, top view: ######O###### ####O#x#O#### ######O###### Where X is the signature, and O the probes.
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2011.02.27 10:12:00 - [8] Try inching the probes closer to the signature, move one of the probes out of the plane, have 5 probes in a big "plus sign" formation (i.e.: + with a probe at each point and one in the intersection), get better skills and/or equipment. -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]

If one of the "other stuffs" you're probing happens to be the non-probeable Loki setup, that could explain it as well. If it's wormholes and stuff like that, then just move the probes a bit closer, jiggle them around a bit, you should get it after another scan or two. ---------------------------------------------- I don't have an alt, but there's a main that would be upset if he heard me say that...

Here is an example, top view: ######O###### ####O#x#O#### ######O###### Where X is the signature, and O the probes. Use the above system but place the 5th probe on top of the signature. Does wonders! :)
Avaan Eclipse Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.27 12:55:00 - [12] The planar cross described above are one of the mathematically optimal probe layouts, however, it is very easy to screw up, since even a very slight misplacement of one of the probes leads to a drastic reduction in signal strength. A more mistake-resistant, mathematically optimal probe formation is a tetrahedron with the site in the centre of the volume, equally far from every probe. (see this thread for more info)
Selinate Amarr Red Water Syndicate	Posted - 2011.02.27 13:13:00 - [13] I've never needed 5 probes to scan down a site, even when I was doing it in a punisher without rigs and mediocre skills. I've always been able to use 4 probes. I honestly don't understand why everyone is talking about having 5 probes. The guy with the top-down view with 4 probes is how I've always been doing it, and I've never been unable to scan a site down. OP, take his advice.

(see this thread for more info) Nice to know that someone's tried to reverse engineer the calculations :) This also explains why some people get better results without the fifth probe in the cross. -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]
