you need also rig gravity capacitor rig t1 , scan rangefinding array t2 if can use dont install more than two

Thanks and I agree on both accounts. T2 grav rig (instead of 2 T1 stacking-penalized) + T1 warp speed rig may also be a good compromise.

Still curious on trade-off between probe strength and scan deviation and how it affects probing in practice.

Real scouts fly with large gravity cap rigged covops frigs.

You'll want RSS probes (+ Virtues, parentheses only because you asked for no implant setups) for fastest non-combat probing. On something like a Helios you can fit up to 4 T2 Scanning Upgrades (edit: assuming last mid slot is used for MWD). Due to stacking penalties I would recommend a 2/2 Rangefinding / Pinpointing setup with a T2 Gravity Capacitor rig. A platform other than frigate can also net you more mid slots and rig slots. Also, I would avoid Acquisition upgrade as with perfect skills you'll only be shaving 1 second off each scan because of server ticks.

have one still around from before the rig changes.


Yeah, many more style points

Buying them nao!

The basic run down on the mid slot scanning modules goes something like this: If you assume they do actual nothing, you'll be correct more often than not.

If you insist on actually using them, (and sure, there's little reason not to on a dedicated covops),the strength one is by far the least useful, the other 2 have their merits (If youre running 1 of each).
Once you have 1 of each, you can double up on strength or accuracy and it's really up to personal preference, I like accuracy.

If youre just after max strength, then the way to get it is a T2 grav cap rig and 3 T2 rangefinding modules. (along with virtues and prospector AR-810 implants, sister's launcher and RSS probes.) This puts the strength up to 213.2, adding the 4th mid slot is 213.8.

NOTE: Sister probes cap at 208.4 by comparison, if you dont use the mid slot mods, your strength will be 196.2 (with 2x T1 rigs).

Realistically, any scan speed increase once you get over ~180-190 scan strength will come down almost entirely to player skill, not so much the actual raw numbers increase in strength.

I hate you forever for getting me to click an eve eye link...
Just use EFT like a normal person.

What? The self-taught Eve Eye UI is a mini-game.
