EVE Online - Zen and the Art of Scanning

This video comes courtesy of Iscandar Industries

A brief tutorial on how to use the new scanning system in EVE Online quickly. gives some handy tips on moving probes around and when you can expect to see certain points of the scanning system.
The added benefit of some snappy tunes is just an extra bonus eh?

Anyway this is my first vid so I suspect I'm forgetting something.

I highly recommend you turn captions on if you don't already leave them on, There have been a lot of updates to the scanning system since the initial release and, I've simply learned more, as such I've added the knowledge in via the captions.

For a more complete tutorial on the basics of scanning and the mechanics of how it works referance this video:

It's not mine but it gives a solid and functional grounding in how scanning works. My video works from the base knowledge given there to help you speed up and refine your process to allow for a more efficient use of time.

I've been under the impression this whole time that probes placed within each others' radius will bounce the signal around and "confuse" the probes, causing the signal to be cut in half or something like that. That's why I've always just used 4 probes, and this is the second guide I've seen with 5 probes. Do you know something I don't know, or could it possibly be a mistake adding that center probe?

[WhiteHaven]

That rumor is a hold over from the previous scanning system I'm sure. With the old system you couldn't put probes within scanning range of one another end of story. with this new system however it's just fine. as KhalesKaplah said, the scanning system uses the 4 strongest signals so by adding extra probes you give a larger pool of probes for the scanning system to choose from for best results.

Is it worth investing in Sisters probes?

[WhiteHaven]

They have a higher scan strength, so if your always having troubles getting your signal strength up to 100% then you might wanna look into buying some if you don't want to take the time to train the skills.

This is the clearest and most concise instructional video of probe scanning I've seen yet... and trust me... I've watched way too many.

This one was most helpful... thanks!

[CDNSMOKEJUMPER]

Thanks a lot I would not have figured out that stupid training mission without this video and now I know how useful this skill is going to be!!!

Thanks a lot buddy!

@Tommyknocker21 this is the song: Afro Celt Sound System - Seed

[MrZuulunut]

This is the tutorial video i always tell people to watch if they wanna see a demo of probe scanning, if for no other reason than the amazin Afro Celt Sound System soundtrack LoL :)

[Relfouly1012]

Despite the many spelling errors, it's a very informational video. Thanks for the tutorial.

[yenkosky]

Great tutorial. Helps explain a few things I was having trouble reading.

[Asdayasman]

@Ago566 WH is wrong, 4 probes is optimal. I'll release a video some time, but not now.

[Vampirer100]

really great,was alway getting 99.9% the 5th probe helps alot,thanks for the time u put into this,really makes a big difference.

[revenger681]

Good tutorial :-)

[RedCrescentDemon]

So, what does this have to do with zen?

[matthewrd51]

Yea good job on the vid. even though I had to figure it out on my own..I wish i would have come across your video earlier lol.

[calgarymikey27]

I keep getting 99.99% scan on my probes and can not get it to 100%. Very frustrating.
