===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.

'''NOTE:''' Always use combat scanning probes

*You can see ships

*64au range is great for performing a blanket system scan

*At each scan range, they have the same scan strength and variability as core probes

*Core probes only benefit is the 0.25au range, but with support skills to 3 and a ship with a scan bonus, you will be able to resolve all sigs at 0.5au

'''Launch Steps:'''

#Warp to your spot selected in the last section

#Ping d-scan for active pilots

#Open system map

#Drop cloak, activate prop mod

#Launch minimum number of probes for a good scan

#*''Optional:'' adjust probes to formation while waiting on launcher cooldown

#Re-cloak

#*''Optional:'' reload probes prior to re-cloaking

#Set range on probes to 16au

#*Gives a graphical representation of max d-scan range, anything in that bubble can see your probes

#move all probes >16au from any celestial

#*Easiest to do by moving above or below the system plane

#Select scan to cause probes to warp off

#Ping d-scan to ensure probes are out of range

#Set probes to 64au

#Spread probes to cover the system, select scan

And we now have a list of every non-cloaked scannable object in system. From your results:

*Ignore all the anomalies, they are easy to find again

*Ignore structures as you've found all the POSes already

*Count and record the number of ships, this should agree with results from d-scan

*Record the sig ID's for the Cosmic Signatures that need to be scanned down

Now you have a choice, PvP or PvE? If there's no signs of threats, start scanning down sigs and making bookmarks for the fun to come. If there are juicy targets, move on to the next section and try and hunt them down.
