==Techniques== # "Pan Scan"- Do an untargeted scan in an area with several signatures, with higher scan strength some of them will turn from X to bullets indicating a more precise position. # "The four AU rule" - Most sites spawn within 4AU from a celestial or gate (there are some exceptions but they are rare) so if you begin your scanning with a 4AU scan, centered on a celestial that is within the bubble of the signature, you have a high chance of getting a good position for the site. # "Balls and stick" - Sometimes you get a signature that looks like two balls on either end of a stick (or a barbell). The true position is always at the furthest end of the stick from your last scan position (be sure to check in all dimensions before moving your "Scan Box"). This represents how many probes detected the signature. When these balls are the results then only 3 probes detected the signature. Compared to that, a ring only got detected by 2 probes, so the true position is also always further away from the last scan position in this case as well because the closer position would have been detected by more probes. # "Jump down"- Most of the time you donβt need to scan with every resolution and you can jump two steps every time (4AU - 1AU - .25AU) but the room for error in positioning is less (be sure to zoom in on the signature and place the "Scan box" in the middle of the signature). # "The last %" - It is possible to get the last few % of signal strength on an anomaly by moving the individual probes closer to each other. You do this by holding "Shift" key and dragging each probe closer to the center of the probe formation. Do this in all 3 dimensions and you will gain the last few % needed to get 100% signal strength and a warpable site.
