Today I got a covert ops out to try and find a battleship that was hiding at a know location (for testing purposes).
So, I fit a Scan Probe Launcher and load it with some Observator Deep Space Probes <A Href="http://www.eve-online.com/itemdatabase/shipequipment/ammunitioncharges/scanprobes/18588.asp">Linkage</A>
I launch one, and lo-and-behold he finds the battleship. Accuracy 96 A.U. !!! I wawr to it, and find myself 91 A.U. from the battleship...
What good is such a module, or what should I do differently to get the accuracy down to considerable better pinpointing ??
So I scrap the Observator probes and try with fathom 12A.U. probes. My search pattern is to drop 1 at a planet around the planet where my battleship is hiding.
After analysing it tells me nicely that there are no signatures found !!
What the ^#^% I know it's there, I know where it's at, and the bloody probes find nothing... How can this be ??
Anyone know how to get results ??
Thanks,
Rewena.

I'm assuming that you've not read the sticky at the top of the ships and modules forum so...
If the link given above doesn't work out or you need a little more info then try these links:
Probes FAQ
Probe Guide 1
Probe and Safespot Guide 2
Try those out... They helped me out alot and clued me in on what the probes are not capable of doing and also how the probes are kinda "bugged". There's a reason why your Observator probe was able to see the ship and the regular XX AU probes couldn't and it's explained within the 3 links I just gave ya.
