is there any difference? i just looked at the stats and they appear to be identicle - what am i missing? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shammalamma Dingdong |

nothing it is the scan probe launchers that have the significant benefit.

The Sister's launcher requires 5 less CPU, which can be invaluable on very tight fits.

Edited by: Ghengis Tia on 24/11/2008 21:06:59 Scan probe launchers duration: 600 secs. Sisters probe launcher duration: 450 Secs.
25% less time, and goes down significantly when skills and ship bonuses are applied.

That's the scan probe launcher. The recon probe launcher is 120 seconds base no matter if it's the Recon Probe Launcher I or the Sisters version. The only difference between those two is, as was stated, the CPU requirement is slightly lower on the Sisters. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

thanks for the response...if i had been asking about the scan probe launcher, you'd have been bang on the money! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shammalamma Dingdong |

I thought it was 10 CPU. Though I haven't looked for a while.

im assuming based on the time / rarity that sisters can fit exploration probes.. Recons launchers can not. So its 450 / 600 33% faster for exploration, before skills are applied. If your doing this regularly, its absolutely worth it. CEO For the Hull Miners Union [ONION]

I usually read a book while doing exploration, so the reduced time means paying attention to the game more often, which is kind of annoying :P
I only use Sisters outside hi-sec since shorter scan times mean less exposure time in each system in case someone is trying to probe you.

The first point is true =)
The second point is moot, as you are cloaked whilst scanning in low sec, no? otherwise you cant read a book anyway except for reading local over and over again.....
btw, for recon launcher the sisters type is valuable, but for the scan probers (aka explorers) the sisters scan probe launcher is actually a must have. 25% reduced scan time. Worth every penny.

You realize you can cloak while running the scans right? You only need to be uncloaked to drop the probes.

Just remember to move away from the probe after you drop it. Once you get 2000 m away you can recloak. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

Just a quick point on the differance of duration and scan time. Please correct me if I am wrong and I hope I am.
The amount of time it takes to complete a scan is not any differant between the Sisters and the standard scan probes. They are both the same base changed only by skills, rigs, and ship bonuses. The difference is it takes less time to launch another probe. Hence the duration. The only benifit is in the reduced CPU and the the fact that you can load more probes in the launcher.
Truthfully I had just sacrificed almost a full point of standings with Amarr to run missions with the Sisters to get the prob launcher. After doing so I wish I would have used my LP points to get the Sisters faction probes instead because 1 and a half seconds in duration to launch another probe and the ability to carry 10 probes instead of 7 is not worth the 35mil pricetag of the Sister's probe launcher. |

No! the bonus on the sisters launcher is to the time it takes to run a scan.. instead of a base 600 sec it gives 25% bonus which makes it a base 450 scan time.. add to that skills, rigs and you can get your scan times down to under 100 sec. Mine is currently around 150 sec but I still need to train them some.

Remember there are two probe launchers. The recon launchers are used to launch recon probes to find ships; probes like the snoop, ferret, and such. Exploration probes are two big to fit in recon launchers. The scan probe launchers take both recon and exploration probes, but have a much longer analysis time.
The original question in this thread was concerning the Recon Probe Launcher I vs the Sisters Recon Probe Launcher. Both of these have a base of 120 seconds analysis time, before reduction from skills and implants. The Sisters requires less CPU is the only difference.
Now, with the Scan Probe Launcher I, it has a base analysis time of 600 seconds, while the Sisters Scan Probe Launcher has a base analysis time of 450 seconds. There's no fitting difference between the two. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |
