#Repeat for any other possibly occupied POSes

==~~Launching Probes~~==

==Scanning Time==

If all has gone well up to this point, the only time your ship has appeared on D-scan is the brief time when swapping from jump cloak to cloaking device (that is if you have a covops cloak). No reason to break the blissful ignorance of possible occupants by announcing your presence now! Thus, the goal of the following section is to get your probes out into space, out of range for d-scan, as quickly as possible so that you may re-cloak and go about your business.

===Find an Empty Spot===

You and your probes will be visible while launching, so you want a nice spot out of d-scan range of any active ships.

Things to avoid (in order of importance)

#Active Pilots in space

#*Most likely to be regularly pinging d-scan

#Active POS with pilots

#*Sense of security means less likely to be pinging d-scan

#Active POS with no pilots

#*Possibility of new pilots logging in while you are de-cloaked

#Points between an active POS and pilots

#*Possibility of someone warping by while pinging d-scan

If you can find a spot that is > 14.36au from all the above, super! If not, minimize your exposure to anything on the above list with the first 2 being the most important.

===Launching Probes===

Now, time to pop out some probes. Your goal here is to get your probes out, cloak up, and fling your probes out of d-scan range as quickly as possible.
