No ninja patches. OP just sucks at scanning. Astrometrics 5 (for survey probes), rangefinding 3, pinpointing 4 (only because I hate having the sigs jump around) on an unbonuses ship and using only 4 sister's core probes, I have no problem finding any signature. In fact, I lock most sigs at 0.5 AU. Only the really small stuff or best sites do I ahve to reduce range to 0.25. Practice moar instead of crying to CCP to make it easier. Probing is already very easy.

a CCP dev has already admitted on the old forums to ninja patching the system with Incarna. Try again.
I don't need to try again. I already hit the nail on the head. You are not good at probing. If you were, you wouldn't be here crying for yet another boost to probing. Let me quote myself: "No ninja patches."
Bolded the important part. It was a publicly advertised change with intentional results, as the dev said. And that doesn't change the fact that you still can't probe well. Either skill-up some or follow the advice that has been provided. Now in order to get best results, you use 6 probes forming a tetrahedron or 8-sided geometric figure with the sig result at the center.
Or you can train a bit more and use only 4 probes so that you can more easily see your probe result on the system map. Works for me. But back a couple years ago, you actually needed to train those skills up to 4 or 5 to find those valuable DED, radar, and mag sites.
