=== Scan Strength ===
Base scan strength is determined by what sort of probes you have in your launcher. RSS Core Scanner Probes have the highest base at 45, which is only one point better than Sisters Core Scanner probes -- and that single point comes at a considerable price differential.

On top of the base value, four bonus areas are applied as multipliers to arrive at the total scan strength value.

These four areas are:
* Skills - having all Scanning skills to V helps, but Astrometrics and Astrometric Rangefinding are the two most critical.
* Modules - a Sisters Core Probe Launcher, one or more Scan Rangefinding Array IIs, and Gravity Capacitor Upgrade IIs are essential gear.
* Implants - the Mid-grade Virtue set (slots 1-6) plus the Prospector AR-810 (slot 8 ) are what you're after.
* Ship - some ships, like the Astero, get a flat 37.5% bonus to Core Scanner Probe Strength, while Covert Ops pilots with the skill trained to V get a 50% bonus.

==== How the Heck is the Total Bonus Calculated? ====
Former Signaleer, [https://evewho.com/character/94524325 Po Huit], figured out the calculation [https://forums.eve-scout.com/topic/2241/scanning-club/32 here]. 
 
==== Max Scan Strength? ====
With perfect skills and the right gear, the current Scan Club max scan strength record is '''225.7'''.  Last checked though, [https://forums.eve-scout.com/topic/1075/how-much-core-probe-do-i-need-exactly 105 is good enough] to scan down anything in space. Is more than 225.7 possible?
