=== Maximum Flight Time ===

Maximum Flight Time limits for how long probes can be kept in space. For Republic Security Services ("RSS") probes this is 16 ~~minuts~~ and 40 seconds, while all other probes have 1 hour, 6 minutes and 40 seconds. If probes are left in space for more than this duration they will automatically return to the cargo bay as long as there is sufficient space for them, if not they will be lost.

=== Maximum Deviation ===

Line 57:

: <math> \displaystyle \text{Max Deviation} = \text{Base Maximum Deviation} \times \left( \frac{ \text{Scan Range} } { \text{Base Scan Range} } \right) \times \left( \frac{ 100 - \text{Astrometrics level} \times 5 \~~color~~{~~blue}~~ - \text{Astrometric Pinpointing level} \times 5 } {100} \right) </math>

: <math> \displaystyle \text{Max Deviation} = \text{Base Maximum Deviation} \times \left( \frac{ \text{Scan Range} } { \text{Base Scan Range} } \right) \times \left( \frac{ 100 - \text{Astrometrics level} \times 5 } {100} \right) \times \left( \frac{ 100 - \text{Astrometric Pinpointing level} \times 5 } {100} \right) </math>

The use of probes requires at least Astrometrics I and Astrometric Pinpointing requires Astrometrics IV.

* '''[[Combat sites]]''' are ungated pockets with multiple waves of rats to kill. They can drop faction items or escalate to new sites.

** [[Combat_sites#Besieged_Covert_Research_Facilities|Besieged Covert Research Facilities]] are special combat sites that are found only in low-sec. They containing multiple cruiser- and battleship-class NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. In addition, they may contain destructible structures with loot.

* '''[[Mining#Cosmic_Anomalies|Ore sites]]''' contain [[asteroid]]s to be mined for minerals or ice products; generally the type of ore matches the regular ore from the asteroid belts in this area of New Eden but there is an important exception referred to by players as border/A0 ores.

=== Cosmic signatures ===

Line 122:

* '''Data sites''' contain containers that need to be [[Hacking|hacked]] with a data analyzer. They range from completely safe to deadly dangerous, for more details see [[relic and data sites]].

* '''[[Wormholes]]''' are temporary unstable connections between two systems.

=== Minimum sensor strength ===

The minimum probe sensor strength is 42 (this is a base strength of 40 for a Core Scanner Probe plus 5% due to Astrometrics I = 42). This is sufficient for scanning cosmic signatures up to Level III. For Level IV signatures you require a Probe strength of at least 72, while for Level V signatures you require a probe strength of at least 104.

* {{sh|Pacifier}}

The [[Sisters of EVE]] faction ships all have a 37.5% role bonus to scanning and the frigate and cruiser are also able to fit a Covert Ops cloak. They also get bonus to armor resists, energy turrets and drones and virus strength making them capable combat crafts and hackers. They have lower skill requirements than CovOps T2's, but they are insanely expensive compared to other T1 ships and considerably more expensive than T2 ships.

It is the only [[Society of Conscious Thought]] ship with +10 virus strength bonus.
