New hit, resize to 2 AU, and move the probes.
Once that's done, and the point is covered by probe radii, analyze again. In this case it's actually above my probes, so I'm going to click one of the arrows that move a single probe up and down, hold shift, and move all four at once. Make sure that you take note of the hit's location on the plane of the solar system. You only need 4 probes to get a location narrowed down, so lets resize our probe radius to 4 AU's and move all four to cover that point hit. If you get two point hits very near each other, just treat it like a circle hit and cover both at the same time.
If it's only 3 probes, the location will be off by a fair amount. A point hit means 3 or more probes have a signal at that location. See how they dissapear from the map? Now we're ready to scan again.Ī point hit. That way we can focus solely on this signature. Move your probes again so that all four cover the space of that circle.īefore we scan again, take the time to create a filter that will ignore the anomolies. That means the location is somewhere on that circle. It's a circle where two probes intersect. Your probes should cover the bubble something like this:Īhh we've got the second stage of hits. Don't forget they are three dimensional, so you may or may not need to move them up or down as well. Once again, pay attention to their location in space. See the scanner results? Lets go back up to 8 AU's.Īhh a hit again. Lets try skipping 8 AU's and go straight to 4 AU's.īah, no signature hits at all. Notice that the anomolies already have 100% strength at this point.Īfter you shrink the probe's size down you get a hit again, but the size of the hit is smaller. You'll want to shrink the size of your probe radius to get a more accurate reading. That bubble means that the signature is from somewhere inside it. Anomalies are usually so easy to find that at this point you've got their location already locked down. Your first hit on a signature will look like a bubble. Once you cover the system properly in bubbles that don't touch each other, hit the Analyze button. Or you can resize a single probe by right clicking the probe in your scanner menu. If you have multiple probes out, holding shift while doing that will resize all of them to the same dimension. You can resize by grabbing the outside of the bubble and dragging. You want to start at 32 AU and work your way down. Now that you've got it in the center of the system, you'll notice it may not cover everything. If you hit shift while doing so you'll move all of the probes you have out in the same direction. Those little arrows on it? Yeah they're not just for show.
If not, you're going to want to know how to move the probe to the center. Wow, that bubble looks kinda cool doesn't it? If you're already in the center of a system, neat. Go ahead and decloak, drop a probe, and recloak. Some of you have seen it before, some haven't. If you're playing in low-sec space, this is the point where you should be safed and cloaked. We can start by hitting the scanner button, that's circled in white. Decided to go looking for wormholes huh? Couldn't or didn't get the test server going in time to get a handle on scan probing? Didn't understand it before and still don't? Want a quick reference guide instead of an entire video to find some specific information?īut given that I've already done it, I guess I might as well put this up:
