Malka Badi'a	Posted - 2006.04.07 22:22:00 - [31] Yes sir! --------------
Victor Valka	Posted - 2006.04.08 19:53:00 - [32] Bump! Because knowledge is power.
Winter Gaze	Posted - 2006.04.10 15:50:00 - [33] I just tried using scanner-probes ... and I discovered they cannot be reused ! am I mistaken? can I somehow get them back? because they are not cheap.
Donna Darko	Posted - 2006.04.10 16:55:00 - [34] Yes, you can 're-use' them while they are still not expired (they have different times for expiration, i.e. 3 AU probes have 10 minutes life time). No, you cannot pick them up and re-launch them. Yes, you will lose a lot of money. Integrated modules and cargo modules
Sarai Atvar	Posted - 2006.04.10 17:39:00 - [35] Note: if you see several 3AU probes on your scanner, it's time to change your safespot. ----------------- [ The Coreli Corporation Mainframe ]
John Cald	Posted - 2006.04.11 08:01:00 - [36] Which filter is for scanner probes? They don't show in my overview and therfore in scanning results, unless I disable the "use overview settings" and use very short range while I'm just at the probes I just left. So there must be some overview filter for them which I can't find. Btw its stupid for that they show in the overview... For that reason you have no chances of busting an aware prey. John Cald

John Cald afaik disabling overview options is the only way to detect them. 10,000,000 secure containers cluttering your overview is the trade-off fo actually being able to see them
Tobias Sjodin	Posted - 2006.04.21 17:56:00 - [39] In some systems though, I have the problem that several asteroid fields are aligned in a line from where I scan, but pretty close to eachother. In the system I currently am based, there's 4 belts, each with two more behind the ones I see (when I click one of the triangles, a list of the other belts pop up) that makes it that much harder to pinpoint where the target is at. Also, since these belts are so darned close together, even with 15 degrees on the scanner, I still manage to wind up with at least one neighbouring asteroid field. :P
Malka Badi'a	Posted - 2006.04.21 18:35:00 - [40] If it ever gets down to that problem of overlapping belts then it's time to drop the scanning time and go straight for testing both belts manually. Always keep in the back of your head this question: What will be faster, using 5 degree scans for multiple belts or just going to each belt? With 3-4 belts overlapping scanning may be easier by simply going to one of the belts and then scanning the remaining 2-3 with a 15 degree. With 1-2 belts overlapping just skip the scan and drop in on both. --------------
Melnox Ryth	Posted - 2006.04.27 11:25:00 - [41] Malka your Scanner guide was semi - orgasmic Couple of questions (I may have missed you answering already) 1) When you spot a target - I never saw the option - 'Warp to' - unless a station / moon etc 2) What is the limit of the Scanner range ? (is it per ship?) 3) The ships appear all with no pilots .. is this the case always ? Thx
Donna Darko	Posted - 2006.04.27 13:33:00 - [42] Originally by: Melnox Ryth 1) When you spot a target - I never saw the option - 'Warp to' - unless a station / moon etc Well, duh!? Maybe you were expecting the option "Make him surrender his ship to me!!!" too? :P Of course you can't warp to anything other than a celestial object in space. Originally by: Melnox Ryth 2) What is the limit of the Scanner range ? (is it per ship?) Type 9999999999999999999 in your range and click scan, the number will change to maximum range. Same limit for all ships (and pods). Originally by: Melnox Ryth 3) The ships appear all with no pilots .. is this the case always ? Yes, unless the ship is really close to you (and could be seen on overview if the settings allow it), in which case you get the same options as if you right-click the ship in overview. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=318428Integrated modules & cargo scanner 4 pirates[/u

I was one who requested it in the first place, and I never said thanks, what a heel. Thanks Malka! Also, why you punks always picking on Malka, at least he does something for the community you nobodies. Edit: it's already a sticky, so i can't complain --- Stolen from Malka: ♥
Malka Badi'a	Posted - 2006.04.27 14:52:00 - [44] Glad everyone is enjoying it Darko, thanks for the clarification on a few areas that I didn't have time to address. -waves to Krem- --------------

'Cause she's got a bounty and we want it. Smack is the next best thing to fighting :) Originally by: Malka Badi'a Darko, thanks for the clarification on a few areas ... You're quite welcome, I hope all my efforts finally helped you learn how to scan properly :P wipes brow http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=318428Integrated modules & cargo scanner 4 pirates[/u
Verus Potestas	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:06:00 - [46] excellent guide. i didn't learn from this, but the scanner is an awesome tool, and if i'd had this when starting, my life would have been much easier.
h'tak	Posted - 2006.06.10 04:29:00 - [47] Perhaps it's common knowledge, but I'll mention it, anyway. One small yet possibly helpful tip I've learned when using the scanner, especially when 'pipped' down to narrow ranges, is to click on your ship. When you do this, it'll be bound by a square icon that you can use as a crosshair to "aim" your camera more precisely. Example, if you have the square on your ship and you place the triangle belt icon inside that square, you will get a hit at 5 degrees.(assuming there's a target in there to hit) I use this little trick because it gives you a more defined point of reference, especially if you're flying a very large ship, as opposed to trying to guess where your ship's center is. It's great for scanning orbitals that are close together but not quite overlapping, allowing you to be much more discriminating with your scans.
Yblarbo Janks	Posted - 2006.06.14 18:18:00 - [48] Question. Here's what I am looking at : http://www.crazyjoe.us/evescanner.jpg Now, I assume someone left their drones behind on a mission in deadspace. How can I get to those drones ?

She mentioned it on her guide as well =) Just that she says that if you press the 'alt' button you will get a square on you're ship wich you face towards whatever you want to scan.

But I dont think scan probes pick up drones, but then again I might be wrong not really sure. I dont think you can scan down secure cargo containers, drones, and a few stuff like that.

Symb Everway	Posted - 2006.07.02 21:30:00 - [53] I've had a few situations where I would do a 180-degree scan and see a few ships, but when I tried narrowing it into two 90-degree scans I would get no results. I assume I'm doing something wrong, but what?
Kay Brack	Posted - 2006.07.02 23:01:00 - [54] Originally by: Voculus Am I the only one who consistently has problems with the scanner not working when set below 60 degrees? I can be sitting at a station with all my gangmates in front of me, and as soon as I scan with 30 degress, it finds nothing. It's been this way since I began playing last December. Remember that the scanner when narrowed down becomes a "cone". At 360 degrees it's like a huge ball around your ship in 3 dimentions, BUT when you narrow down to 60 degrees or so the "cone" effect makes camera angle(up and down) very critical. Even at 180 its not as noticable due to the half circle that scans the up and down areas. At 15 and 5 degrees you can miss scaning targets directly in front of you if you point this narrow "cone" up or down from the plane of axis.

No Cargo or Drones. You pick one warp signature to run a scan for. Frigate. Battleships. Industrial, etc. Drones are not in there. Cargo containers are not in there. If there is a way, I have not found it.

Here's what I am looking at : http://www.crazyjoe.us/evescanner.jpg Now, I assume someone left their drones behind on a mission in deadspace. How can I get to those drones ? Easy, set your ship in that direction...set your speed to maximum...come back 2 days later...and pick them up Malka, thx for the tut. I couldn't understand scanning at all, but now I thihk I understand.
Lungorthin Black Eclipse Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.07.21 12:58:00 - [59] Ahh another fellow Scanner guru :) Kudos Malka! I once explained much of what I know in this thread http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=237746 I even made a couple of drawings to help understand the concept of the scanner and of "hidden belts". :)
Odet Finite Horizon	Posted - 2006.07.21 16:16:00 - [60] For people who are total nubs this is an ok basic guide. Although for an advanced scanner, you know everything about the system before you jump in, where the clusters are and all. Scanner settings are very important all around. I personally have 15 different scanner settings. It allows you to see only what u want/need. Once you ghet good with the scanner you'll be scanning ppl down anywhere from 10 seconds to 45 depending on the system size. _______I podded a Dev and all I got was this lousy Implant_______ =This podding has been brought to you by Odet, the only way to fr
