Scanner alts provide extra utility since you can be in a combat ship while also scanning down a chain in [[wormhole space]]. The benefit of training a scanner alt varies depending on use-case, but training a perfect scanner can take 157 days from fresh character to fully trained using [[Skills_and_learning#Neural_remaps|neural remaps]] and +3 [[Implants#Attribute_Enhancers|implants]]. As such, training your main character to be a perfect scanner may not be the best use of your training time. This guide is broken into three tiers of scanner:

 

Creating a character in any empire is fine as all the T2 [[Probe_scanning#Ships|scanning ships]] are more than adequate. The issue comes down to personal preference and how efficient you want your character to be. Regardless of starting empire faction, perfect scanners might benefit from training into the [[Buzzard]] or [[Magnate]] as these two get bonuses to scanning-related stats. The [[Buzzard]] is a favorite because of its generous 5 mid slots which allows it to fit extra [[Probe_scanning#Ship_equipment|scanning equipment]]. If you're trying to do exploration quickly for ISK, training into a [[Cheetah]] may be worthwhile as the fastest of the four.
