Finding people in lowsec using a covops scout
How effective would this be?
How often could I expect to find people if I train for a highly specialized covops ship with good scanning skills?

every time you launch a probe....if your dedicated, highly skilled and get the appropriate gear, you will find them in less then 20 seconds.

It is within the rules of the game for someone to enter your mission and steal the loot/salvage.

Quite effective unless you are dealing with the ultra paranoid that dock once you enter local

With my skills: 1 in 100
With my skills + drunk: 1 in 10
With my skills + no backup + drunk: 1 in 1
With anyone else probing: They get 'em every time

I see, thanks
I also noticed that there is a 100km deviation?
What does that mean? Do I actually have to travel much closer to the target (with no mwd while cloaked) before my friend can warp to me? (Cheetah can only go like 600 m/s)
And also, is it rare to find people in 0.4 using these methods? How often would we find a mission runner or a miner doing this?

Deviation can be lowered by skills..can't remember which off top of my head tho..
There's lots of info available on Eve-O already on how to find and probe down low sec mission runners..if you do a bit of searching it's all there..
But the short answer is Yes, they are effective. On good nights our covert ops pilots can grab 10 - 20 mission runners, and we usually manage to ransom most of them...they usually have way better modules fitted than the belt ratters and a ship scanner is a great way to persuade them that a ransom is in their best interests

It also depends on the system, if it's cluttered by a zillion ships sitting at POSes it can become more difficult, even more when they start warping from POS to POS.
You can deduct who's at a POS or not by looking at the distance found, if there's more ships at the same distance they're bound to be at a POS or gate (or safespot).
