The Directional Scanner, or "D-Scanner," is built into every ship and can be used to discover, but not pinpoint, objects up to 14 AU away from your ship. You can do a lot with this little gem. See the [[Directional Scanner Guide]].

===On-board System Scanner===

The on-board scanner can be used to find NPC combat sites/Cosmic Anomalies. These sites ~~have~~ rats appropriate to the systems security status (''If this is wrong, edit this, I've never scanned down and looked at nullsec sites.'') The on-board scanner can not be used while warping, unlike probes. To find these sites, you simply warp to planets, initiate the scan, and warp to any results. Cosmic Anomalies are designed to appear within 4 AU range around planets. Open your ~~onboard~~ scanner by pressing CTRL+F11, select the "System Scanner" and press the "analyze" button tab (you may need a few ~~goes~~ to pick up the harder ones, possibly 10 or more times). When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time. These sites can also be found by probes and are ''very'' easy to scan down with even one probe. They can be distinguished from exploration sites because they do not show up on scans filtered down to cosmic signatures as they are cosmic anomalies.
