Hey there,
I was just testing out exploration in low sec but I couldn't seem to pinpoint a site. I tried in a few areas but could never get above 23%. Once I saw it at 60% but then I pulled it in closer and it dissappeared. The site I'm trying to pinpoint seems to keep moving
Any ideas
Thx

Here's a decent video to watch. If your skills are low, you'll have to get some modules/rigs to help you scan.

Check your filters. If you have them set to not show certain site types then they'll disappear as soon as you cross the 75% threshold.

Well, first use a ship with bonus for scanning.
Train up all Exploration skills at least to level 4.
Fit your ship with top grade Exploration equipment such as Sisters Probe Launcher and Sisters Probes.
Practice scanning and locking signatures at 100% as quickly as you can in high sec space before going to low or null sec space.

Lastly you can also use scanning Implants and modules to help increase your scanning ability.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the filter settings.

It's 75% for Combat and w-hole signatures and 25% for all other signatures, right?

I wouldn't take the nice gear to low right away. I've been known to harvest sisters launchers from unwary exploration frigates while they hack and I'm one of the nicer people you meet out there.

Hrm. No. It's 25%. That's just me forgetting; it used to be such a common answer I just autopiloted it.

Not getting past 60% is another problem.

Well, I admit it's been a while since I've done exploration and I could very well be wrong. More than likely CCP has probably changed it by now. Anyway, I distinctly remember it being 75% for Combat and W-hole sites and all other signatures was 25%
