a quick question, after dropping one multispec frequency probe i get back " unknown " as a scan result. At this point i should drop multiple quest probes of the same type or should I drop the same type around the moons of the system ?
The unknown result is making things fuzzy for me.

I am very concerned sir about the nature of your website. Why does your website require a trust relationship? I allowed it so that I may see what your site offers and what clever uses you may have put the Eve browser to... but alas there was absolutely nothing, nothing at all, on your site that required Eve Browser Trust.
So I ask, besides my character name, corporation, and ip address now in a database you've set up... what else was the point of your in game only website? |

I have complteded 2 Arch/Salvg sites and the only thing I have found are some rig parts. Anyone else finding more and if so is there more to the sites other than just the floating cans and debris? Tried to salavage and analyse other things there but it says I can't. Just wondering if I am doing everything I am suppose to at these sites.
Having fun though.

Guys - how do you deal with multiple signals?
It's easy when you have 2 - like "Unknown" (complex) and Gravimetric (hidden belt) - you just use Gravimetric probes and try to get two signals using one type of probes only.
But what do you do when you get 3 signals in one location? (a friend from Corp had that case yesterday) - when u have Magnetometric, LADAR and Unknown...
Use Magnetometric or LADAR to pinpoint 2 spots and then use another type to pinpoint the last one?

I had a trio of signals once. I simply decided to go with the radar signal first. And eventually uncovered all three with radar.
Unknown will be scannable with any probe type. So if you go with Ladar, for example, you should find the Ladar and Unknown site with greater ease than the Magnetometric site. This does not exclude the possiblity that the Ladar probe will still find the Mag site though.
Tangent: In game browser spying is bad. Shame on you using other people's work in your dirty deeds. I'd also suspect you may have crossed some troubling lines as you announced this "in game" link through the forums but it is "in game" and not a forum fraud.
Have Fun

I had a question that I wanted some clarification, if at all possible:
I launch probes at each planet in a given system. Sometimes, the message that my probes overlap is given, so I spread them out-the entire system's planets are covered by my Quest probes. Now, scan after scan, there is never a result. All my skills are 4 or 5 for scanning/probing, so the only idea I have left to check is do I need to put probes in the space between planets? For example, if all the planets are covered, but planet IX, which has a probe near it already, is 40AU on the edge of the system. Do I need to put probes every 4.5AU from planet IX inwards?

No.
Also, for everyone *****ing about the "trust" thing, last time I checked it was needed to make the site DB work. Deal with it, or find answers to your questions yourself.

Great topic,
After scanning 18 systems I finally got a signal.
Unknown.
So we place the quest probes. We get a loc, we go there probe again, nothing. Back to first loc and after a few tries we finnaly manage to get to the Unknown.
A warpgate into a deadspace pocket.
It contains a few worker drones (normal loot) and 2 tainted ruins (we blow em, nothing).
Today I checked the Loc again and the place is still there.
Questions:
Did we forget to do something? Do they only despawn after a DT? The probed empty systems, should i reprobe them after every DT or will they stay empty till a new patch?
Thats about it, btw we found that pocket in 0.8
Cheers Acalin

joerd, thanks for your guide and this thread, its nice - no one says something else. there is no need to deal with dnightmare's db, since anything u need to know is in this thread or not db-related pages on nightmares site.
but why are u upset when ppl ask questions about exploration and security related things?
dnightmare's ig site collects information about what exploration sites are found. but it also gets information about 'where' these sites were found (or at least where the player was at the time of reporting) - and most players are not aware of this little detail.
the website doesnt share this information with everybody when browsing the lists of found exploration sites. thats verry clever but not fair play.
we use a similar website tool in our ally to optimize teamwork in exploration. when a signature is detected with a multi, the user can report it. the system/player name is automatically recorded. then this mate can move on and scan one system after another and so quickly cover a whole constellation. meanwhile other mates look in the database, equip ther frig with the correct type of probes and probe the systems with detected sigs. when the sites are found they are also entered in the database. now anybody from the ally can see what is where, how old the information is and who has the bookmark. team 3 starts and mines/hacks/etc... what has been found. access to the system is pw protected and anybody knows what happens when he uses this tool. that's how trusted sites can be used to enhance exploration. its cool, its fun and its fair play.
now u know how such tools work - so u can use the harmless and usefull parts of dnightmare's site without to help your competitors to quickly track down where your valuable sites are. dont access the site (and other similar trusted sites) while you are in the constellation where u are exploring. best is to use an alt character in jita
have fun

Dude, there's a difference between "CAN log which system you're in" and "DOES log which system you're in". If the site is ACTUALLY spying on people, as opposed to just POTENTIALLY spying on people, then you'd have a fair point.
Also, the DB is IMO one of the most useful things about the site, and the only bit that isn't available elsewhere afaik, as it lets you know what you've found and roughly how hard it will be.
Also, apologies if I came across overly grumpy, haven't had much sleep this week :P

Originally by: Ione Hunt Honest question: Has the drop rate decreased again? I see A LOT less data interfaces on the market than a few days ago. Is that because ppl are actually keeping them, or has the max number been capped?
I also noticed fewer RADAR sites in Empire.
Don't think it has. Might be that people buy them directly now. And reguarding the radar thing. I've noticed the same trend. I'm guessing it is due to the amount of isk to be made in a single one.

Hey. Can there be exploration sites high sec. as low sech. And where do the have the best chanche to find them. I have run around in 0.8 til 0.5 but havent got anything on my scanner. So im quessing, do i have to go to a more risky place to get some results. Is that correct. ???

/me shoots himself in the head again for fun.
Yes. Sites are distributed equally throughout the universe. That includes highsec. And they don't show up on scanner, you need to use multispecs.
This question has been asked and answered like half a dozen times in this thread, BTW...

Just found my first Arc/Sal site on Monday night and was pleasantly suprised to find a Minmatar Encryption skill book. And, of course, assorted junk.
Not bad for an hours worth of work.
Unfortunately, I lost conn when I still had 2 cans to go, so I auto-warped out and when I came back the site was gone.
I bent my wookie.

I have read the post but haven't seen this asked/answered....
So, I'm playing around for the first time with exploration and probes, but I was wondering how critical it was that you have a covert ops cloak, against let's say a Improved II cloak. Are their specific reasons why a covert cloak is the choice?

Covert ops cloaks are prefered as you can warp around your system without uncloaking. Especially useful if like me, you are a solo explorer in low sec.

It's not "necessary" per se (although a covops ship pretty much is), but it makes you a hell of a lot safer. Imp Cloak II doesn't let you warped cloaked, which makes you more vulnerable. But it's better than nothing, I guess...

Ok so I have trained up Covert Ops, cloaking, working on astrometrics. Once I have discovered all these hidden places how do I make money off of them, obviously Im not taking out a bunch of rats with a Cheetah. Do I have to sell the location to a corp or join a corp to help kill everything then share the loot from the system? How do I make money off of exploration results?

To make money depends on the site - mine out the roids belts - takes quite some time solo, but even in 0.5 / 0.6 they should be worth 20 million or so. Some plexes can be mined too - makes sure you mine out the first room before clearing the second or they might despawn.
With the Radar and Magnetometric sites, fly back in a combat ship fitted with the correct modules so you can open the cans once you have disposed of the guards. In high / low sec an AF should be enough. In 0.0 a HAC / BC should be able to complete the sites solo. Remember to bookmark a can so you can return and salvage after the site has despawned.
If you get a plex beware - solo in 0.0 you will not be able to complete them - they can 10/10 equivalent difficulty! ------------------------------------------------ Just because your not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you! |

HereÆs something that I found effective for quite some time. Get a hauler that can fit at a minimum 2x Giant Secure cans. Put your scanning Frigate (CovOps or otherwise) in one and an Assault Frigate and its fittings in the other. Since I preferred lowsec Exploration to highsec, I always fit WCS in the lows and a cloak in the high slot. You now have a fully mobile ôbaseö for all your exploration needs.
It fits a dang good supply of Probes for all signature types, and I never came across anything in Hisec that I couldnÆt handle with an Assault Frigate. It lets you take everything you need with you, and you can take whatever youÆve gained back to the hauler for transport to the trade-hub of your choice. This method is not for the faint of heart, and it is absolutely vital that you know the area you will be traveling in exceptionally well. Yes, I even put the oh-so-expensive Covert Ops cloak into my Exploration Hauler, putting the overall value of the thing to upwards of 150 million isk (at the time probes required Stront).
Knowing your area is key, I scanned the same three lowsec areas (not systems, whole areas), and knew what systems were likely camped and which ones were likely clean. I made over 300 million, if not more, in this manner even before the adjustments to the exploration system. Why did I stop? 1) I put rigs on my CovOps frigate which instantly prohibited me from repackaging the ship and 2) I started doing more Deep Space exploration for which the Assault Frigate was no longer sufficient.

Dnightmare,
Thanks for your site, it is really nice and useful (however now I usally only use the database).
A request for a new feature: How about showing date when a site was reported (and possibly also search by date) so we can exclude those reports that might been before fixing some sites (bith for the past and future changes).

hmm, did they nerv the find-rate recently, i am just returning to exploration after 3 weeks, and i am not able to pin a mangnetotronic site. Quest probes works after 10 tries (around 1 hour) then sift probes (accuracy was <0.5 AU) : nothing. i wasted around 10 Mag-sifts.. i have pinpointing lvl 3, and triangulation lvl 4.
Your signature is too large. Please see the Forum Rules for the limits - Serathu ([email protected])

I just started getting a problem that i have not come across before.
After getting a Multi show up a sig, i drop quest probes and get a hit, but the 1st hit drops me at a point with an accuracy of approx 1.15 AU from the deadspace.
Now this is too far for both my sift and comb probes, and the quest wont pick the sig up anymore if i drop one of those.
I spent over 6 hours last night on a mag and then a radar signal both with the same problem. Anyone come across this? Have CCP been pulling levers again I have not had this problem till now, and have good astro skills (lvl4 acros the board)
Thanks
