Well - that depend....what part of scanning is troubling you?

Launching Probes and the technical "how to"?

How to find a wormhole? (that's just chance based if you scan in empire space)

Hire a scanner.

Yaay!!!!

How do I?

Launch Sisters Core Scanner Probes from my Sisters Expanded Probe launcher.

Bring up Probe Window and open solar system map.

Arrange probes to the tight group and hit the analyze button while the probes are surrounding a signature. Repeat last step until 100% result.

You trollin? You must be trollin.. I can troll too..

Im making over 7 waffles a month baking part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much waffles they could make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my breakfast life. This is what I do, https://www.leggomyeggo.com/en_US/home.html

Be careful as you dig.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

Well, in space there is no "down", so perhaps you should change your perspective and try to scan one "up".

Idk. I thought I gave a legit answer. Didn't even check if OP was a new bro or not.

Honestly I had trouble scanning stuff too when I tried it, but it's because I'm too lazy to actually work to understand the mechanics of certain things and hands-on with a scan probe can get confusing if it's your first time.

Just read up on it and keep practicing that's all.

I launched the probes and I put them in the red. It lets and I keep getting 1.3 % any ideas what I'm missing?

Did you change the probe formation to pinpoint?
What scanrange did you use for the probes?

There is a plethora of guides on youtube - i'd suggest you take a look at one of those, as the problem might be minor but hard to explain

i.e.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcekLFMmzjc


General Hints:

* I'd suggest starting with 8 AU scanrange in Pinpoint formation and go down step by step if you are not used to the system yet
* you have to cover the whole "red area" with the probe-range of as many probes as possible - thus: 8 AU as a start is usually a good way to go

OP should probably do the scanning tutorial if this isn't a troll

Here is the copy of a small post I did on reddit :

First of all, you should use the "pinpoint" formation almost everytime. It is almost impossible to scan several signature at the same time so you want to scan them one by one. The pinpoint formation is almost the best volume you can use for signal strength.

I'll try to put some pictures to explain how I am doing it. I am also using a Core Probe Launcher I with 8 Core Scanner Probe 1. After simply launching my probes and going to the solar system view, I can see something like that :

http://i.imgur.com/vsxN8X2.png

This is the default view. There are currently 4 signature and I choose to scan the TMZ-130 one. Clicking on it in the probe window will show a single red sphere :

http://i.imgur.com/ruPpxT3.png

I will now click on the pinpoint formation button :

http://i.imgur.com/hDuIDqb.png

As you can see, the probes spheres are much more compact and near each other. However we are not at all near the red sphere. I'll use the arrow on the single cube **(without using shift or alt)** to move the cube in the center of the red sphere :

http://i.imgur.com/QyNHMzf.png

*Tip : Double clicking on the box or on an arrow will center the camera on it, allowing an easier rotation to see what you are doing*

The sphere means that the exact position of the signature is somewhere in this sphere. As you can see my blue volume (the area scanned) is smaller than the red sphere. By clicking on the blue area and dragging outward, I can expend the area scanned down (in blue).

http://i.imgur.com/fR3u3RG.png

Now the red sphere is completely covered by the probes's area, we can click the scan button. After rescanning all the signatures will be shown so be sure to select in the probe window the same anomaly again (TMZ in our case) :

http://i.imgur.com/cGYwinv.png

We have now a red dot, which is much better ! We narrowed down the position of the signature to this dot. However it is possible there is still some deviation occuring. First of all, we will move all the probes (using the single box, again) to the exact position of the red dot :

http://i.imgur.com/PGfnov3.jpg

We will also reduce the range of all the probes. Using a greater range allow us to be ready for a huge deviation, but the signal strength will be too small. When I have a red dot I like to be at 2 AU or 4AU. Simply drag the blue volume inward to reduce the range of all probes at the same time.

http://i.imgur.com/WAQ99nq.png

Let's hit the scan button now :

http://i.imgur.com/mFi17bP.png

And we have here ... nothing ! It means that the deviation is greater than the range of our probe. I was at 2 before, let's use 4 now

http://i.imgur.com/RwGz4B6.png

We found an other red dot, quite away of our initial position. The deviation is still important. Let's move again all the probe (using the single box) on this new position and scan again. Since we already got a huge deviation once, I feel lucky and believe I won't have a second deviation this big. So I try with a range of 2 AU again :

http://i.imgur.com/FxcKoN1.png

Great, we have now a yellow triangle. This means that the correct position is really close to the one displayed at the moment. I'll center the probe on position and reduce the range to 0.5 AU. I always use the arrows to move my box and stay on a plane rather than clicking on the cube and dragging it, which is less precise in my opinion.

http://i.imgur.com/E5s858X.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/omcXzWH.jpg

And voilà, you finally got your signature scanned down !

http://i.imgur.com/Gej4Gja.png

You can note that the exact location is a bit off of our probe center. Once again, some deviation is at work :)

Using this method should help you scanning 90% of the sites. Some are harder to find and you will need for them better items (Sister's Core Probe launcher is OP but expansive), better skills or even rigs or an array (like I had on my ship for this demo).

I am able to scan down sites in a WH without any skill on an alt. It is just a matter of practice. Keep it up and you will do it. Just remember that it's always easier to use the pinpoint formation and always easier to move all the probes at the same time using the centered cube.

Please tell me if it helped :)

Edit : Got it before the downtime \o/
