I have come to the conclusion that incursion systems reduce or make more difficult the scan ability of sites.

I normally can find a ship and or a site in under a minute with a buzzard core probes with 2 grav rigs in under a minute.

I have gone to two incursion systems after I was in non incursion systems finding sites and cannot lock down the sites.

I have 6 probes out at .25 au and cannot get further then 93%

has anyone else seen this?

I probed in an incursion system yesterday and saw no discernible effect.

You must probe poorly.

How may I drug you with drugs?

The bar was almost empty (in the sansha favor)

I previously (no less then 10 minutes before these systems) scanned down two other combat sites and 2 wormhole with no problem in under a minute.

It is not a scanner issue there was definitly a disparity.

I am going to go back in and scan the system again today and see if I can lock it without the sanshas.

The site i was trying to lock was the

shadow serprentis fleet staging point.

The other was a radar site.

Both 0.0

I'd understand that as almost 100 % red influence. Well it is known that the higher sansha influence the higher penalties are inflicted upon your ship.

This.

Sounds like anecdotal evidence from a meh prober.

Depends, if the system influence was non existent then you should be scanning as usual.

system was about 97% sansha.

Tried rescanning , the incursion moved one system over but all the sites (sansha) are still here.

Got 93.55% with 6 probes

went to a non incursion system scanned down two more sites no prob

What kind of ship are you using a bonused one or? Also, what's the stats like for ship/probe launcher etc, when you're in an Incursion system and out of it?

This. Also, different sites are harder to scan down. I'm pretty sure grav sites are high on the list, as are C4-C5 wormholes.

Of course, it could also be the Sansha.

buzzard, using core probe launchers 2 grav rigs

Didn't notice any difference in scan strength (24)

I did leave the incursion area and scanned down two other radar sites in non incursion systems.

It seems that I only have problems in incursion sites, all non incursion systems have no effect on my probing.

Normally I only use 5 probes but even at 6 I could not get more then 93.55%

Hmm, could it be that the sites in the Incursion area get struck by the Sansha penalties? Giving them a way lower initial value when scanned. Be back after some tests on Sisi.

You do know that prof sites are all across the spectrum of possible signal strengths, right?

I did scan in incursion affected areas before and haven't noticed anything unusual myself ... been a while tho.
