An important use of the directional scanner is to find ships such as PVP targets. Notice that the scanner only returns ship names and types, but not the pilot's name.  (''This is the reason why you should rename your ships as soon as you buy them. You name also appears on the system chat list, and a hunter can match the name with the ship.'')

The best way to show the use of the d-scan to locate ships is by example. The next few images were created at High Sec Campus in Amygnon. This is a good place to practice scanning because there are almost always a lot of slow moving ships around. Since every ship, even capsules, has a d-scanner, you can do this exercise yourself ... and this is the best way to learn how it works.
