 # Astrometrics Pinpointing: Reduces maximum scan deviation by -5% per level.
-These skills are also the prerequisites for ship modules, henceforth are recommended to level up as necessary. Astrometrics is the cream of the crop with each level having the effect of both Getting both Astrometrics Rangefinding and Astrometrics Pinpointing combined. The skill point price is quite low for the benefit it gives hence its recommended to get at least level 4, with future notion to get it to level 5 as it unlocks the T2 Probe Launcher module which is another drastic boost to your Scan Strength. Leveling Astrometrics Rangefinding and Astrometrics Pinpointing to level 4 is recommended, while the investment to get level 5 is hefty in skill points for minimum benefit hence can be left for last.

 ==== Modules and Rigs ====
+There are 5 modules/rigs/items that affects your scanning: Probe launcher, Core Scanner Probes, Rangefinding Array, Pinpointing Array, and Gravity Capacitor Upgrade rig.
+===== Probe Launcher =====
+Probe launcher can be separated into 3 tiers: T1, T2, and Sister. Each with its own pros and cons
+# T1 Launcher has no bonus, requires no skill, and is the cheapest
+# T2 Launcher has 5% Scan Strength bonus, requires Astrometics 5 skill, and still relatively cheap.
+# Sister Launcher has 10% Scan Strength bonus, requires no skill, and is the most expensive.
+Most people would think Sister Launcher to be the go to module, however it suffers 2 damning issues. Its obviously expensive as hell (30 mil Circa January 2026), and the added bonus to scan strength is irrelevant especially for Alpha players. Scan Strength is a numerical requirement to scan down sites, the effect on scan result is minuscule until there is a big gap on the value of Scan Strength (over 10 points). Stacking penalty applies to Launcher modules, along with other modules and rigs, making it harder for Sister Launcher to make a difference.
