I always use the 7 probe gunstar formation, its the easiest to setup to be symmetric, and works well for everything (including hard to probe frigs).

before I clicked the pic, how useful is a gunstar to scanning

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

linking the iwar screenshot promoted you to my new favorite dev.

spocks opinion on the scanning pattern

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
