Overview
This group contains all skills tied to scanning: probe scanning, the hacking mini-game, and survey skills. Most of the skills in this group are relevant to exploration.
| Skill (Multiplier) | Purpose | Alpha Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Archaeology (3x) | Allows the use of relic analyzers. Increases virus coherence. | ◼◼◼▨▨ |
| Astrometric Acquisition (5x) | Reduction to probe scan time. | ◼◼▨▨▨ |
| Astrometric Pinpointing (5x) | Reduction to maximum scan deviation. | ▨▨▨▨▨ |
| Astrometric Rangefinding (8x) | Increase to scan probe strength. | ◼◼▨▨▨ |
| Astrometrics (3x) | Allows the use of scan probes. | ◼◼◼▨▨ |
| Hacking (3x) | Allows the use of data analyzers. Increases virus coherence. | ◼◼◼▨▨ |
| Survey (1x) | Allows use of cargo, ship, and survey scanners. Bonus to scan speed of these modules. | ◼◼◼▨▨ |
Skill Details
Archaeology
Proficiency at identifying and analyzing ancient artifacts. Required skill for the use of Relic Analyzer modules. Gives +10 Virus Coherence per level.
 Attributes:

3x |
 Price:

250k ISK |
 Alpha max level:
|
III |
 Prerequisites:
|
Science III; Survey III |
| I required for:
|
Relic Analyzer I; 'Ligature' Integrated Analyzer |
| II required for:
|
Talocan Technology; Sleeper Technology; Takmahl Technology; Yan Jung Technology
|
| V required for:
|
Relic Analyzer II; 'Zeugma' Integrated Analyzer |
 Notes:
|
If you run a lot of Relic sites, training this to from IV to V gives you a big boost, because you get the bonus from the skill, and also the bonuses from being able to use a Relic Analyzer II. |
Astrometric Acquisition
Skill at the advanced operation of long range scanners. 5% reduction in scan probe scan time per level.

II |
| Prerequisites:
|
Astrometrics III |
| II required for:
|
Scan Acquisition Array I |
| V required for:
|
Scan Acquisition Array II |
| Notes:
|
Currently the least useful of the three Astrometric skills used for exploration, and a holdover from previous versions of scanning. Scan times are already very short, so you may not want to train this skill at all past what is required by other skills or items. It can be more important for combat probing, when every split second reduction in the time that your probes might be visible on a target's directional scanner counts. |
Astrometric Pinpointing
Greater accuracy in hunting down targets found through scanning. Reduces maximum scan deviation by 5% per level.

Alpha pilot can not train this skill. |
| Prerequisites:
|
Astrometrics IV |
| II required for:
|
Scan Pinpointing Array I |
| V required for:
|
Scan Pinpointing Array II |
| Notes:
|
This skill reduces the difference between the signature positions displayed on the map during probing and the true signature position, and so effectively speeds up the probing process. |
Astrometric Rangefinding
Skill for the advanced operation of long range scanners. 5% increase to scan probe strength per level.

Tech 2 Probe Launchers; Gaze Survey Probe I; Jump Portal Generation
|
| Notes:
|
A core skill for this group. Since each level comes with three different bonuses, level IV is useful for all kinds of probing and level V is desirable for any dedicated explorers. |
Hacking
