It feels like the 5 AU range on the on-board scanner is a bit well... short.
It's not bad it gets the job done but you need to warp around to each station and gate to check the whole system.
And yes you can also get a cov ops ship to get the job done but that is a slower process...
so here is what I propose, give different ships different signal strenghts. Make Cov ops frigates on-board scanner for example 10AU or maybe less like 7 AU?
t just seems like an area that could be improved so I thought I'd bring it up :)

Why, to scan for ships? You can't scan for ships with the on-board scanner anyway.

no to scan down the sites that you have to go to to take over the system...

well I thought the point of making them scanable 100% of the time was so you don't need probes right?

Warp to the sun? That's where the bunker is.

Seems fair to me, those with probes, can do it faster. A "reward" for their time spent skilling up scan skills.

ok lets get our facts striaght
scanner - 30 secs
probe -240 secs
probe ship isn't fitted to fight so you have to go out, fighter off a probe you bought, scan for the easiest thing to find that probes aren't used for, wait 5 mins, get all sites.
or you have to wait 30 secs in a fully fitted combat ship and just warp around to each area to cover the whole system.
checking the bunker, and gates and wherever is needed.

5au is pretty much for an onboard scanner. "we prober" "only" have 4au in scanrange.
and since iam a prober anyway, if i have a sig on multispec, i drop my usual probes, do one scan with anomalys and have ALL the anomalys right away while scanning the sig.
you are "not equipped" but you have the speed bonus of only 30 sec.
In a small systme youre even faster with probing anomalys than the covops.
so i say leave it the way it is
