Being a fan of it since the start of game, I've tried multiple variants to fit both PvP and Exploration in a single ship. I've done some combat scanning to scoop drones, steal some loot, salvage some wrecks and now I've been trying to figure out how to do combat scanning and running over other ships, pref frigs that are doing sites. I'm currently using a Caracal, fitted like this:
[Caracal, Kestrel Inkura's Caracal] [Empty Low slot] Photonic Upgraded Co-Processor Crosslink Compact Ballistic Control System IFFA Compact Damage Control
10MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner Scan Rangefinding Array I J5b Enduring Warp Scrambler Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Field I Large Ancillary Shield Booster
Expanded Probe Launcher I Prototype 'Arbalest' Rapid Light Missile Launcher Prototype 'Arbalest' Rapid Light Missile Launcher Prototype 'Arbalest' Rapid Light Missile Launcher Prototype 'Arbalest' Rapid Light Missile Launcher
Medium Processor Overclocking Unit II Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Medium Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer I
Combat Scanner Probe I x16 Scourge Light Missile x336 Inferno Light Missile x500 Mjolnir Light Missile x500 Cap Booster 200 x19 Core Scanner Probe I x24 Nova Light Missile x500
However, I'm still missing a ton of points in my scan deviation - most of the objects like drones, usually remain at 8x% signal, never being able to actually find them (current scan strength is 26.6, with all the alpha scanning skills at max). I've tried to fit a Scan Rangefinding Array but that won't suffice. Any advice would be apreciated.
Thank you in advance. |

1: Use Sister of EvE probes, they're cheap and are much stronger. 2: Use rigs that increase your scan strength. 3: Use ships that have scanning bonuses, like the Gnosis.

Sorry, I am an alpha and from what I understood, the Gnosis is an all-in-one, expensive, good-for-nothing (unless max skilled) ship. That's why I remained in a simple cruiser. Please, correct me if I am wrong and provide a proper fit for a Gnosis that would suit my above needs.
Also, the rigs are for CPU mainly, can't do without them.
Also, the Sisters kit is quite expensive, actually. |

The thing about an expanded probe launcher is that it takes so much CPU that your ship pretty much becomes useless for anything else. Most times that players are scanned down, several ships are involved: 1) a dedicated, bonused scanning ship such as a Helios 2) a tackling ship, often an interceptor or interdictor 3) a dps ship
Your ship will be very slow at scanning things and very slow at catching them once scanned down, and any decently fit ship will be able to kill you. your target will pretty much need to be AFK for this to work.
I would recommend you find a group to hunt with. Multboxing is another option. |

A set of 8 sisters probes is only about 4 mil, you may have been looking at the sisters probe launchers which ARE expensive as hell, and while they do have a scan bonus, I have never been able to justify buying them myself.
P.S. I may have identified your confusion, you dont have to use a sisters launcher to use sisters probes.
