It can't be done as PDF, and HTML might require skills or resources he doesn't have. As they say in the south, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If your Office is patched properly there's little risk.

As I said in the previous forums, awesome work and thanks for doing this.

Magic!

This is exceptional!

Big big thanks for posting this, St Mio! I only wish this included worm space sites as well.

Nice post

I have one question, though: Is it possible that one's ship or skills make lower signal strength sites invisible on scan? Or will any site always show, even if ultimately unprobable with my ship/skills?

All sites will always show up, even with 0,01% strength.

So, no matter the ship, skills or chosen probes - If the signature strength is less than 0.01, I'll never see it because of game mechanics?

I would like to thank the following people for their help in putting all this together: (in no particular order)
Emperor Salazar/xxSketchxx for his DSP Strength Predictions sheet on which mine is based

Want to spend less time scanning and more time looting faction wrecks?
Want to separate the wheat from the chaff faster?
Want to be able to farm your region dry and keep respawning the good sites?

I present to you my Deep Space Probe Exploration Guide:

I would like to thank the following people for their help in putting all this together: (in no particular order)
Emperor Salazar/xxSketchxx for his DSP Strength Predictions sheet on which mine is based
Daesis Wrack for providing me with the strength formula
Aandaan, Daneel Trevize, Kirian Kador and ReguIator for the wormhole data they collected
All the regulars from "Exploration" channel in game (I'm not going to name you because I'll end up missing someone), all the players who've shared their knowledge on the forums (with a special mention going out to DeMichael Crimson & Miss Moonwych), and last but not least, to all the pirates who didn't shoot me while I was out collecting data. o7

But I'm assuming you're looking for sites based on column (i.e. only Radars) in which case you can't exclude any signatures because (almost) all of them have a chance of being some kind of Radar. Sorry :(

Any chance you could also include low-sec nebulas in the web page by the way?

Thanks for the awsome guide mate, Bumpage to page 1 for attention.

Will this ever get a sticky like it deserves? I think not. To page 1 now.

Thank you

I should probably mention somewhere that one needs* to scan using the DSP from right next to your ship instead of moving it (Well not has to but I digress)

Just a heads up guys:
The Angel and Guristas 3/10 are currently (still) the same strength as the 4/10.

This means that if you're in Angel/Gurista space and you're looking for signatures with that strength, you'll get 3/10s and 4/10s without having to scan down every wormhole in New Eden* or endure the soul-crushing disappointment of finding Rogue Drone 3/10s.

* Without having to scan down all the K162s and C1s

CCP dev alt detected!

(I already reported it)

I'm pretty sure CCP has you on Ignore after all your trolling :P

With a scan strength of 21.0, Serpentis Logistical Outpost appears as an hit of 0.16 in Gallente Low Sec. Pretty sure it's the only 0.16 since there are no LADAR low sec Gallente regions.

I've specifically trained ( 2 moredays ) Astro V so i can use this guide and speed up my scanning.

Hoping it saves me spending 5 mins scanning down 5 worthless sigs in a system!

As Mnemo said, the sheet works better if you look at from the other way 'round and say "I want to find DED 4/10s, what strength signals do I look for and which can I ignore?" as opposed to "I have 0.21, which site is it going to be?"

Hello!

I have added the 3 new DED 2/10s that CCP added last week, as well as the missing HS->LS wormhole and gravimetric site. I've also checked most of the links to the EVE wiki, and done some fiddling behind the scenes, so maybe the JavaScript will be slightly less terrible now.

Happy exploring, and may you have get lots of loot! (But not more than me)

I was doing some high sec exporation today and i found a 0.09 signature (based on my 9.4 probe strenght).
I scanned the sig to 100% and found : Local Guristas Shattered Life-Support Unit

Here i see is a radar site:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Local_Guristas_Shattered_Life-Support_Unit

But in the table at:
http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/highsec.html
Is in the Magnetrometic section as: Local (pirate) Shatted Life-Support Unit

Hello!

I spent some time yesterday on SiSi scanning down my alt.

tl;dr scan results for ships are


not taking into account deviation.

For my test I used:

• my amazing exploration Nidhoggur with Expanded Probe Launcher II, vanilla T1 Deep Space Probes and 2x Large Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
• All three 10% Poteque implants (AP-610, AQ-710, AR-810)
• Astrometric Acquisition and Astrometric Pinpointing 3
• Astrometric Rangefinding 4 and Astrometrics 5

My alt then proceeded to swap ships in and out of the carrier, I'd scan them, activate modules, check fitting window, scan, etc etc. I also warped the alt to the furthest planet (22.8 AU away) and then scanned again. In hindsight I should have just moved the probes instead and toggled multiple DSPs on and off.

The rounding off is annoying (in game fitting tool shows sensor strength rounded to the nearest integer, signal results round off after two decimal places, I should have used LogServ to get the untrunctuated probe strength) so I had to try and recalculate more accurate signal strength results using the MWD-active values (highest value per ship, so the smallest error value from rounding off). Just like sites, they play to the (x * probe str / 512) rule, where 512 is your diameter (in game scanner shows radius, probe strength is http://www.swiftandbitter.com/eve/misc/Probe_Strength.jpg ) and x is the cosmic signature/ship's special little number.

The bad news is that there's a lot more deviation than with sites (+0.06 difference with the ship moving 22.8 AU in one case).

On an interesting note, when jumping my Carrier in, the ships my alt popped into had the following locus IDs:

• Merlin JUY-613
• Cormorant OVY-472
• Caracal LWY-819
• Drake KXY-544
• Raven SXY-056

Also, his capsule's ID (SFC-600) before he boarded a ship and after I blew up said ship changed (AZF-300). Might be worth looking into how locus IDs work and what the patterns are.

The numbers can be found here:

Well it turns out for site probing the death to the DSP is actually a good thing. With the new scanner you get to know which planet the sig is at and the band that sig is part of without having to use a DSP at all. So in essence everyone got the DSP mechanic for free and automatically

Except that the default pattern has huge holes where it will miss sigs, and resizing the probes stuffs up the UI, and rescaling the formation doesn't fix the pattern gaps, and now instead of having to adjust my probe box once per system, I now have to adjust my sweep which usually takes LONGER because its not the same for each system, and gives me comparitively poor and innaccurate results compared to a DSP. I trained DSPs to not have to do this!

You sound confused, you seem to imply that I was refering to the poopy spread formation of probes which will not be used by anyone because of the new sensor overlay. Here have a picture, http://gyazo.com/79ad48214c985c93c8a62337303414d4

Asshats i pay on 2 acounts my kid made me play cause hes in the USMC so we can talk so i liked it its fun i make money scanning but pay cash for my accounts and now i have to play a f-ing game to get a radar site that i might get 7 mill out of ...thanks its hard enough i have aurthiritis never mind that i have to out hack an 18 year old and im a 53 year old fat guy ... wow level tha playing field ....i like the game but i dont want to play solve a puzzle **** ...i sometimes win raceing for the goodies ...and sometimes loose ... some days you get the bear and some days you dont ... so as in some days you dont you guys sometimes dont get whos paying the salaries of your company....ship changes no problem screw missles no problem you cant allways nerf **** sometimes you need to make it better

no really great idea ...if your mineing an assteriod if you incorrectly scan it you get nothign and your ship blows up....or if your makeing stuff industrial and you fail the blueprints the base blows up ...or if your PvP and you barley kill the guy you get concorded anyways or if your late with your trade shipment your char gets incarcerated for a month in a penal colony...unless of course he can answer a puzzle ...which of course theres never an answer too so hes inactive for 30 days ... some romainain jackass thought of this and you guys never change it if its a dumbass idea ....rethink this

Can you explain....please..........

Hi, mind explaining how to use the new guide/updated tables/method for see the sig strength of the certain bands?
