I've heard a lot about hidden belts, and even chanced across a couple of them, but I'm wondering how I would go about hunting them down?

There are quite a number of belts that dont show up on the right-click menu, and some that are outside the usual "parallel" that we fly around in(Uhmm, its complicated). Im just wondering if someone would share there belt finding techniques with me ;)

Use your ship's sensor array.

Sometimes, asteroids will appear on the scanner when they are not part of any listed belt. These asteroids will often be part of another player's deadspace mission, so are effectivel unminable.

easy trick :
set scanner @360¦ Distance : 5 00km In overview the best system roid
now launch scan @each belt.
If you get roid with no distance => Hidden roid :D [Eve Tool for the mass]

scanner overview can easily see 500km apart.

To further elaborate on this, when you get aroid with no distance, change your view to 180 degrees, then to 90 etc. until you get a direction of the hidden roid. In your uber fast ship [frig or inty with a mwd works best] pin it in the direction of your hidden roid. Periodically check if you're still headed in the right dirction. After about 500km or so, you should enter a new grid on the overview which in all likelyhood is where your hidden belt is.
Hope that helps.

Edited by: Kipkruide on 12/12/2005 07:50:12 belt's with bad roid marker will spawn roids outside the grid , which is why the show up without distance, get a fast frig and use your directional scanner, when you hit the next grid you should be able to seet the roid, think the standard grid size is cube with 500km sides, so in volume space that means 26 cubes next to the one you are in now. with a frig that goes 3-4 km/s it's not that hard. oh and npc's do spawn on you while mining hidden rocks. so.

I think were talking about different things here.. As CCP love having a vertically flat galaxy, your sensors & probes will never register anything out of a set number of cubes on the vertical axis. Not sure how many it is, but one of my corp members used to use a belt that was outside "normal" space, so he could mine 24/7 with only a miniscule risk of someone else finding it.
I believe to find them you have to go a *long* way up, until even the stargates dissapear from the overview, and then run your scans. Now all this happened over a year ago, so wether or not they still exist is another question...

The ship scanner scans a sphere and its radius is about 15au.
Scan Probes (except the deep space probes) scan a cylinder with 1au thickness.
How can the stargates disappear from overview? They are stationary system-wide objects like planets or stations.

yup, what he said it scans a sphere, then you juts you turn back the no of degrees it scans , and you get a slice of a sphere, with some fiddling with your ship direction you should be able to get a 5-10% cone on where the roids are.
This give you more then enough info on where the grid is, though you still don;t really know if it is abovfe or below the normal plane. In my experience they tend to be either on the horizontal plane or slightly above or below it.
