EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello everyone, I have a small question about scanning: I've scanned 2 wh systems today and I found nothing (I mean no ruins or some signatures WITHOUT sleepers or other NPCs). What am I doing wrong?

I apologize for that . I am a newbie and english is not my native language. I'll try again. Everytime when I go to different wormholes and scan for artifacts (for ruins etc) I see arfifacts surrounded by sleepers or other NPCs. Can I actually find artifacts that are not guarded by NPCs in wormholes?

Pirate Data and Relic sites can spawn in C1-3 wormholes, however sleeper sites can also spawn. Any data/relic site found in a C4-6 will be a sleeper site.

To solo that you'll need a well fit BS/BC though, prefferably a T2 shield fit. It's also doable in a well fit Vexor, but might be a touch slow.

most wormholes with a high sec exit are cherry picked. You may need to go deeper into UK space ( Unknown Space ).

Imagine the wh system like a rotating carousel. What ... I do when looking for stuff, or wh system particular, is get into thera... and from there, scout out till im about 4-6 connections deep and usually, i see nothing but sites and stuff...

Although, wh space is full of sleepers, most of the sites that spawn in there will be guarded by sleepers. Especially the good sites! If you are seeking that kind of solo, nomadic lifestyle or gameplay in eve, I support that and would suggest you check out tech three ships. Its a bit of an investment... but they tank like no other, and can, slowly, take on larger sites like class 3 and class 4 sites when seasoned with skills and training.

In the mean time, get a stratios, and pvp fit it, but make it so it can run your sites and stick to your c2 and c3 sites :) I think a well tanked battlecruiser is capable of completing up to class 3 anoms... but if you get a buddy to help you, thats twice as fast, twice as much dps... twice as much tank. etc. :)

When you scan, remember since recent changes to mechanics of this system, ... no sig will appear farther than 4 or 5 au from any given celestial. Thus, you can set your probes always, to 8 au, overlap formation, and center on the celestial, and scan.... everytime. then when you get a red DOT, you can chase the sig from there... :) What this means is your probes have ea diameter of 4 au, so if you set up a 8 au overlap, the center overlap area will be approximately 4au in diameter... Never mind the entire probe dia, its the overlapped center area that you are mostly concerned with here. I can get results scanned usually in 3 scans, sometimes 4 for relic or data, even 5 scans in class 5 or 6 whs. :)

When you get 100% on that sig, and want to scan the next red dot that is 4 au from given celestial, start your probes at 4 au scan... :)

When you are done with all the red dots in the area, move to the next celestial cluster, and set up 8 au, and work to chase your sigs to 100%

Typically what I do is like this

initial scan, 8 au - 2nd scan 2 au - 3rd scan 1 au - usually i have them at one hundred percent there.
second sig in the cluster will be a red dot, so then...
1st scan 4 au - 2nd scan 1 au - 3rd scan 0.5 au

Then I will move to the next cluster of results that seem centered on a given celestial.

What Im doing is skipping a scan range. but.. the trick is... fit two range finders, one pinpoint upgrade to your ship, use sisters probes, use gravity capacity rigs, tech ones preferably, and...

RECENTER your probes twice on the red dot when you skip a scan range... so you need t ozoom in again and make sure hte red dot in in the center probe cube...

I scan twice as fast now, I rarely miss a sig. Did I mention its really fast?

cloak up fly safe!

I understood the guy perfectly. Maybe if you don't understand the question, politely ask him to write it again in a simpler way for your simple brain to understand it better instead of calling it gibberish.
