Edited by: Treher on 14/12/2007 17:18:45 I'm newer to exploration. I've tracked down a few unknowns in Catch and elsewhere. However, I've started scanning for anomolies in addition to regular scans to see what kind of crap you get in anomoly sites.
Last night I got a hit for a magnometric and a cosmic anomoly. I found the anomoly quickly and after scanning for another 5 minutes with magnometic probes, I got a deadspace signature hit. This deadspace turned out to be the old 6/10 complex in g-7 in Catch.
My question is, was this the magnometric site? Or is it possible that the 6/10 spawned while I was scanning for the magnometric. I never actually found a "magnometric" after further scanning. I just saw the 6/10 and the cosmic anomaly site continuously after each rescan with my quests.

Congratulations, you found an unknown signature.
The magnetometric could've been outside your quest layout, or just really bloody hard to find.

wasting probes on Anomaly's is silly use your onboard scanner.
Use the probes to find everything else

I can see using a multispectral to check for anomalies rather than going on a wild goose chase, particularly if you've got the skills to run 2 scans off your multispec (1 for sigs 1 for anomalies) before it expires, but wasting quest probes on anomalies is kinda goofy :/

Ive been finding new low level complexes since patch with mag and grav OVER the normal sites
For expamle if you have a grav/mag site and an unknown, you damn near have to clear the unknown site before you can get Any scan results for the mag/grav site itself. Maybe a bug in the protocols, but its definatly very unusual they way these are behaving

A magnetometric site will always have cans to open, usually a combination of waste containers (use salvager) and debris which need the analyzer to open. There are always rats too which must be killed before opening the containers.
Any probe type can find unknowns, so this is what you found.

I scanned a system last night with multispectral and got an Unknown and a Magnetometric.
So I deploy quests and get a hit, which turns out to be a combat site - the Unknown I suppose. Ok, I mark it and continue to scan. A scan later I get another hit, this time a proper deadspace signature.
Eventually I pin it down and - it's a 3/10 Sansha complex.
Now the first site was labeled "Cosmos Agent Site..." so maybe its possible that it was something in addition to the two signatures initially listed, because I sure as hell haven't found any salvage and archeology cans floating around... any ideas?

Theres magnetometric sites and theres magnetometric complex's , i suspect that the OP found a magnetometric complex. This could due to the fact that he may have possibly been in a 0.0 cosmos constellation and this only where you can find magnetometric complexs and Radar complexes too..

since there is already a topic about exploration. i have a quick questions, since Ive been trying it a bit.
My skills are a bit weak at the moment, ive been focusing on scan time before strength. (tho strength is next).
basic ?.
im doing it in high sec, simply because im just trying it out. but is the 'chance' of finding a site higher the lower the security or does it really matter.
for example. scanning in a .5 better than scanning in .8?

i have crap skills, but rigged cov op and i find all the sites pretty easily in 0.0, so if u ask me its noth worth investing mutch into scan skills :) |

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was scanning for both with one round of multispec. I have Astrometics IV, so I can easily choose two groups.

This was not a cosmos section of space, this is old school IAC territory.

I just want to make clear that I found the anomoly. It's the fact that the magnometric result pointed me to the 6/10 complex that used to be static.
I guess I should have done another multispectral scan to see if I got an unkown result, hence the 6/10 formed while I was looking for the magnometric and I never found the magnometric.

It is possible to have more than one complex in a system and your scan results do not tell you how many.
Also, if you select anomaly and signature at the same time with a multispec.. I think you are going to confuse yourself, because the results are not going to specify what it is.
