Use 5 probes in a plus (+) sign, with 1 probe in the center. Then launch 1 probe to go up (z-axis) and 1 probe to go down. This means you're covering the plus sign, as well as the 3D areas.
Remember to use alt and shift key. I find these 2 buttons make life SIMPLE.
Even if he start to use 10 probes it will not change to much.Most of my isk making if not all is over probing ,and up to this day I didnt find one reason why you should use more then five probes.You dont even need five ,four is enough to scan strong signals with decent skills.Point is he have problem understanding how things works,so with more probes he will not solve any if he dont understands basic concept about probing.
Quote:I have tried scanning and its just fighting the User Interface, I'm sure this was not the intended aim of scanning! I did have 1 success, netted 12 million, but afterwards, its like after I narrow down a red target zone, it disappears!!! It goes on like this ad infinitum, increase scan area, narrow, increase scan area, narrow................
How. Annoying. Trying to align my probes for 30 minutes to an hour. I did see that youtube video also on how to align your probes so I know how it works etc and I have been patient but it just doesn't WORK!!!
it worked fine for big majority of players in EVE so problems is in you.Maybe now CCP need to change this mechanic so you can use zero effort and earn tons of isk and say how you are space rich.
Scanning is fine it is just asking for bit of reading and that is all.Few days ago I was talking with one week new pilot,and he/she used tutorial that one of posters said above (Vilnius Zar ),and he/she didnt had any problems.
Raging on forums cause you are lazy will not help,and scanning is that way cause it is really strong tool,you dont use probes only in pvp ,so making it trivial will just be wrong.
Also one thing more ,regarding skills.You dont need all skills maxed or to be freaking great,what you need is just to have five probes and that is about it.For start that is more than enough cause you will use ships with scan bonus (Heron,Imicus etc).
Just read and ask players in help chat they will help you ,dont come to forum asking for something to be fixed what works just fine.No one likes drama queens.Also some players learn something faster and some slower.that is why we have so many things in EVE,so if you find something annoying for you dont do it. |
