Well im not the best with probes but find it near impossible to find the damn mission farmers doing missions even when i get within 1 au on the scan ???
Is it now impossible to get people in missions, and if so how do i get these monkeys?
There are about 25-30 of these guys all born the same day same look and same ridiculous names.
Best thing is they started using Ravens for doing the missions, just need to be able to scan them down. They are in Low sec space also.
Anyone who could help me with the scaning idea would be of benefit.

Think you gotta use the quest probes and aslo search for their drones

Scan for both ships and drones, you have a severly reduced chance of getting a result on somthing in deadspace, so you often have to run several scans to get a result. Use Snoops whenever possible, and there are a few support skills you can train up to improve accuracy and reduce scan time.

It takes time... sometimes you get lucky but often it takes up to 30 minutes to get a lock... since they are farmers I am guessing they are not smart enough to watch scanner/local
BTW once you get first result BM that spot, you'll begin to notice that mission spawn within about 5-15au of each other for each location in system that they spawn. After mapping the spawn points in a system, you can drop a 5AU probe at each spot and wait for a result on one of them.
If you haven't already, max out your skills and buy some scan rigs for your covert ops... more attempts per probe the better... since its all chance based.
I have yet to use "exploration" probes to find missioners, not sure how well they work...
BTW they lowered scan radius of drones.... so while it gives you more "chances" to get a hit on them.... it is a lot less likely... not to say I haven't had success with it.

WHY is it harder to find people actively doing missions than other players at safespots?
Stop giving into the masses devs. :(

A recent revelation in the workings of multiple probes have actually made it easier for you, at least in some case.
By placing a second probe behind your first probe you can boost the 1st probes signal by up to 30%.
Probe B --- some random distance doesn't matter how far --- Probe A -- 0-4au (so it's inside probe range) --- Target
