Kjermzs Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.11.30 20:31:00 - [1] Originally by: HeimatarTrade Originally by: Joerd Toastius This means it can take ten or fifteen tries to guarantee a result, but the probes last for an hour and a bit so you can afford to sit around, keep an eye on local (you can't analyse when cloaked) and keep trying until you get something. I am just started to try this but I am allowed to cloak while scanning. Will I just get no results if I do? Thanks for the quick answer (thats my alt btw ) What about NPC sovereign systems in 0.0? Have there been reported discoveries in that space?
Kjermzs Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.11.30 21:29:00 - [2] You have no idea how happy that makes me.
Kjermzs Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.11.30 21:50:00 - [3] I'm still looking

Will I just get no results if I do? Believe so yes. Could be wrong, but I think that's how it works I analyzed last night cloaked and it worked, was using the CovertOps cloak (I mention this because a while ago, I had no results when using the prototype, but had results when using the CovertOps device). You just have to start analysis then cloak. Thanks for that info. I'm using a Cov Ops II myself.
Kjermzs Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.12.04 01:18:00 - [5] Now, should I be droping a Quest at every planet, scaning once, and moving on if I don't find anything? Or if I scan more then once will I have a better chance to get a signal?

Or if I scan more then once will I have a better chance to get a signal? Drop one at each planet e.g. work your way inwards. With the center planets you want to consider how you position your probes. Two factors, one probe cant be launched in the sphere of another and its advantageous to overlap them if possible. Then just select all the probes and cosmic signature and hit analyze. If you get nothing, try again, and again. It can take several attempts. I hate to ask again but I just wanted to confirm; I should scan the same system repeatadly before moving on to another, correct?
Kjermzs Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2006.12.04 19:57:00 - [7] One more question; do the types of probes that you should use coincide with the space your in or does it seem to be completely random?
Kjermzs Minmatar Native Freshfood	Posted - 2006.12.14 01:02:00 - [8] After my 3rd system scan with the new probes I found a system with both a Mag and a Grav signal type. I rescaned twice and get the same result so maybe there are two sites in this system. I will scan them down and report again in a while. On another note, a few nights ago I scaned out a complex. Nothing special, two rooms and the last room had a drug lab. I blew up the drug lab and received one of the expedition missions as a follow up. It sent me 5 jumps away into a 0.0 Cosmos system. The notification from the follow up stated that there was a biohazard leak or something of the sort. At the site there were 6 storage buildings and if you were just sitting in the zone your ship was taking about 300 damage every few seconds. It looked like there may have been gas clouds but they did not appear to be celestial objects that could be targeted like a roid. Anyway, since we didn't have anyway to harvest the gas even if they were clouds we decided to blow up the storage containers..... After we blew up 4 out of the 6 we received a warning message stating the contamination had reached critical levels and our ships started taking 2k, 3k, and up to 5k damage before we barely made it out in our structure. We repaired and attempted to warp back but it had despawned. Anyone have any similar expedition or have a recommendation as to what could have been done? Feel free to message me in game.

I found both Mag and Grav sigs so have been using the corresponding probes. I can't get the signals on anything other then the quests so far though. I even had a signal that had a strenght of .1 and a distance of 1.2AU but cant pick it up again with pursuits. Anyone have similar issues and any sugestions? Edit: right now Im working on a signal that had a distance of .75AU but can't seem to get it again with combs.
