The on-board scanner can be used to find [[Cosmic Anomalies]], which are combat, ore or ice sites. The combat sites contain rats depending on the site type, lower security space is more likely to find the harder sites (with higher rewards). To find anomalies with your on-board scanner, press ALT+P and ensure the "Show Anomalies" checkbox under the "Filtered" button is checked. This will show all sites within 64AU of your ship immediately at 100%. When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time. | The on-board scanner can be used to find [[Cosmic Anomalies]], which are combat, ore or ice sites.

Core Scanner Probes cannot find ships, so are primarily useful for finding [[Cosmic Signatures]] (exploration sites and wormhole entrances). While they suffice for getting you into (and out of) a wormhole, if you are planning on operating inside W-space it is likely a good idea to be able to probe out ships. Combat Scanner Probes will detect ships, in addition to Cosmic Signatures. The two also have different maximum and minimum scan ranges - see the table below. | Core Scanner Probes cannot find ships, so are primarily useful for finding [[Cosmic Signatures]] (exploration sites and wormhole entrances).

The Directional Scanner, or "D-Scanner," is built into every ship and can be used to discover, but not pinpoint, objects up to 14 AU away from your ship. You can do a lot with this little gem. | |||
