There's a possible bit of explorable content on Singularity in HED-GP, an object of type "LCO Minmatar Lookout" named "You've found an N". With the old-fashioned directional scan we determined that it's about 20,000 km from the outpost that's built there. However, I was totally unable to lock it with scan probes, even using a Ladar Sift probe while sitting right by the outpost. At 20,000 km using the highest accuracy probe of the appropriate racial type, it should be a cinch to scan the thing shouldn't it? I really think the new scan probes are bugged when it comes to structures and cosmic signatures.
Oh also there is a thing called an "Ultra Fast Control Tower" in the same system, which I did manage to lock with scan probes but only to within 0.8AU so I never got to see it. And also directional scan finds a "Deadspace Signature" which does NOT have a beacon, which seems to be exactly what exploration is all about. Again, though, I wasn't able to lock it with any scan probes. Anyone with more patience/skill have better results there?

...That would make the final formula like this:
Signal Strength = (Probe Strength * (1-(0.65 * ((Target Range / Max Range)^1.5))) * Target Signature Radius / Target Sensor Strength) / 100...
Nice Analysis. So you could look at the total probability of the probe locking a target as the product of three independent factors:
Plock = Fprobe * Ftarget * Frange
Fprobe = (probe strength) / 100
Ftarget = (target sig radius) / (target sensor strength)
Frange = 1 - 0.65 * (target range / max range)^1.5
Presumably if (Plock > 1), the lock is automatic. Now what about the race-specific probes looking for race-specific ships? For example let's say you look for a Megathron with a Gravimetric Sift probe ... Mega's gravimetric sensor strength is zero, so is it totally undetectable with that probe?

Do any of the pirate faction ships have sensor strengths in multiple types? (Ashimmu, Nightmare, etc.) If so I wonder which one is used in the formula, or if it's some kind of average of them.

Has anyone found out yet whether deadspace signatures have race-specific signal strength? And if so does it correspond to the type of NPCs found in that deadspace? (radar for Sansha, for example)
