** Sisters probes have 44 scan probe strength instead of the normal 40. They’re a bit expensive, but vastly more affordable than the Sisters launcher.

* Several mid slot modules exist that increase your scanning abilities: the Scan Acquisition Array, the Scan Pinpointing Array and the Scan Rangefinding Array. These "green" modules can be used to improve your scanning ability, but are generally not needed for scanning down high-sec Data or Relic sites—and more likely than not, you won’t have the mid slots open for them anyway! (Their real use is for improving your ability to scan down enemy ships with Combat Probes.)

* Several mid slot modules exist that increase your scanning abilities:

** the '''Scan Acquisition Array''',

** the '''Scan Pinpointing Array''', and

** the '''Scan Rangefinding Array'''.

: These "green" modules can be used to improve your scanning ability, but are generally not needed for scanning down high-sec Data or Relic sites—and more likely than not, you won’t have the mid slots open for them anyway! (Their real use is for improving your ability to scan down enemy ships with Combat Probes.)

* Low-slot Inertial Stabilizers, Nanofiber Structures, and Overdrive Injectors increase ship agility and speed. Speed always helps, as it makes maneuvering between exploration site structures easier, and makes it more likely for you to escape if something goes wrong. Of those three modules, Nanofiber Structures will probably benefit you most, as they raise several speed/agility related stats in exchange for a none-too-painful drawback.

Of all [[Rig#Scanning|scanning rigs]], you’ll most likely want to install the Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I, which increases probe scan strength by 10%. Fitting two Tech I rigs provides a greater improvement than a single Tech II rig, which works out great as a low-skill explorer.

If you're going to specialize in one of Relic or Data sites, then adding that rig also helps by giving you bonuses: Emission Scope Sharpener for Relic sites, or Memetic Algorithm Bank for Data sites.
