==Scanning==

A probe strength of at least 103 is needed to scan down a Superior Sleeper Cache. A probe strength of 102 will come very close, but will ultimately not be enough. With a probe strength of 104, the site can be located using a tight cube formation.

To view your probe strength:

#Open the fitting window and hover over the probe launcher.

#Click the "Show Charge Info" icon.

#Under the Attributes tab, you should see "Base Sensor Strength". This is your probe strength.

If another pilot has already entered the site, an alternate means of entry would be to switch to combat probes and give him a visit or "share" the loot, if you know what that means. I try to respect the concept of site ownership, however if people abandon the site, I'll usually finish it.

As far as ships go, your choices have been explained suitably in the Preamble. I used a Heron for all my attempts, and it worked just fine, with the conditions being that it is not suitable for:
