which would be better to have for slot 6, the ap-610 -10% scan deviation implant, or complete the virtue set with the omega implant? what exactly does scan deviation do? Thanks.

"Scan deviation" is basically how far away from the actual location of an anomaly the blip will show up. That's one reason you can't simply zoom all your probes in at minimum range on a blip: it'll tend to wander some between scans, with the wander distance reducing with the tightening of the range of your probes (and presumably the number of probes covering the anomaly).

I'm not familiar with the implants, but from what I read, if you've already got Virtues plugged into slots 1 through 5, then it's more beneficial to plug the Virtue Omega into slot 6.

generally, deviation is better.
however, the full virtue set is such a large boost to strength that it is much better to have. (also costs a shitton more.)
