Hello to all the fresh pilots of new eden!
I'm Verdis, your guide to a simple way to make isk with a scan frigate and minimal risk.

What you will need:
Any scanning frig (magnate, probe, heron, imicus)
Expanded probe launcher
Combat probes
2 gravity capacitor upgrade rigs (optional, but it helps)
Free cargo space
Microwarpdrive

What you do:
Scoop abandoned drones in mission systems. A set of T2 light drones sell for around 500k each, so if you scoop 1 flight, that's an easy 2.5 million isk for very little effort. So break out the scanner, let's get some free money!

How you do it:
Open the star map, and look for systems with lots of NPC kills near your home. Its a setting under filters you check and reload the map. Find a good high sec system and head there.

Once in system, warp to the sun or an out of the way spot, deploy probes and open the filter dropdown list, then select probes and drones.

Open the scanning map and do a wide range scan of the system. Then calm down at the resulting list. It'll be huge. Look for hits away from planets and moons. Those locations will be anomalies and complexes. You want missions that people have left drones in, and those are usually out in space away from planets.

Pull your probes to tight scan and focus on your best hits. When you get a warpable hit, switch the filter to ships. If there is a ship there, he's using them and you can't scoop it. Make a bookmark to check later, and move on to the next red ball.

If you find one with no ship, engage warp, fly there, and get close to the drones. Right click each one and select scoop to cargobay/dronebay depending on where you have room. If you got lucky, you might be sitting on 5 T2 or faction sentry drones. Enjoy the 15 mil you just made!

A word on values. If you scan enough to see type of drone, and its T1, just ignore the hits for them. They aren't worth the time. Any faction or T2 is though. Make those top priority, and scoop til you can't hold any more! I have done this and made more off of it than I have missioning when I was low sp. Even with 36mil sp and wormhole grade scanning skills, I still do it when I'm looking for quiet relaxing profits.

Don't hesitate to mail me in game if you want help or just to say thank you, I'll write back as soon as I can.
