Scan the Can usually involves participants competing to probe an object down the fastest. ~~An example:~~

Scan the Can usually involves participants competing to probe an object down the fastest. See the [[Scan the can#Variations|Variations]] segment for more.

* The event host places mobile depots at various safe spots in a system.

* Participants use combat probing fits to scan the ~~mobile depots down.~~

* They warp to the ~~mobile depots to pick up tokens of proof.~~

* Sometimes event hosts store prizes like ship skins or skillbooks in secure containers anchored at the mobile depots.

* At the end of the event, the participants turn in their tokens to claim their prize.

~~This was just an example, event hosts~~ can ~~change this format any way they like~~.

=== Requirements ===

* Every participant needs a combat probing fit. Providing everybody with the same pre-made fit makes the event more newbie-friendly and levels the playing field a little.

* There are no required skills for this event that new players don't already have by default, but you can decrease your scanning time by training a couple of related skills (see Additional information).

* There are no required skills for this event that new players don't already have by default, but you can decrease your scanning time by training a couple of related skills (see [[Scan the can#Additional_information|Additional information]]).

* If this is your first time combat probing, take a look at the wiki's page on [[Scanning|scanning]].

=== Event variations ===

* 1: Participants have a limited amount of time to scan down a specific number of objects (ex., mobile depots or drones) in the same system. Small secure containers anchored near these objects can hold tokens of proof (cheap items like passengers/Quafe/snowballs/carbon), which the participants can collect and turn in at the end of the event to claim prizes.

* 2: Another variation of this could be stocking the containers with the prizes themselves (low volume items like skilboooks, skins and some valuable modules are a good idea).

* 3: For an additional layer to the event, password protect the secure containers and make hints available to the participants.

* 4: Prior to the removal of bookmarks as an item, one variation of the event involved participants scanning down one object in a starting system and finding a bookmark leading to another system. They travel to that system, scan another object down and find another bookmark. Participants are awarded prizes based in order of completion of the trail.
