Scanning & Probing is a method of finding objects, ships and hidden sites in space. Every ship in Eve has an On-Board System Scanner that can be used to search for objects not found on the [[Overview]]. Every ship in Eve with the exception of shuttles and freighters can fit a Scan Probe Launcher module to launch probes. Probes greatly increase both the number of types of objects that can be detected and the range at which they can be scanned. | Scanning & Probing is a method of finding objects, ships and hidden sites in space.

This rig increases the scan strength of your probes by 10%, which is ''not'' subject to the usual [[Stacking_penalties|stacking penalties]]. Installing the T1 rig only requires Jury Rigging 1. With the release of small rigs, you can now rig the usual scanning ships very inexpensively. | This rig increases the scan strength of your probes by 10%, which is ''not'' subject to the usual [[Stacking_penalties|stacking penalties]].
