Warfare & Tactics

I've had a fascination with directional scan since starting exploration and keep hearing the phrase "finding a warp in" used in connection with d-scan.

How can I get better at d-scan where I can scan down a ship? I have tried, as practice, to scan down an alt but never seem to be able to find a warp in on it...

I know this is a difficult topic to just say "do this" and I'm not really looking for that. I just want to know if it's possible to find a warp in on a ship and, if so, what are some ways I can improve?

Thanks for help on his odd topic.

dscan allows you to figure out if a ship is at a celestial or another warpable object such as a fw beacon, an anomaly or a cyno.

Just point your view at a celestial on the overview (with new camera it's hold 'c' and click), and do a 5 degree scan.

Then you can warp to the celestial. Ship can be there, on grid, at any range. Or could not be there cuz it's just close by but in a safespot offgrid.

The only way to warp in on a ship that is not at a warpable object is to use combat probes. Scan the ship and warp to it directly. In this case you will land exactly on it. unless it's moving, in whch case you'll land wher the ship was when you probed it.
