============================ | ============================ | ||
'''Scanning''' is a method of finding objects, ships and hidden sites in space. Every ship in Eve has an On-Board Directional System Scanner (d-scan) that can be used to search for objects not found on the [[Overview]]. The d-scan can be used to discover the rough location of a variety of objects up to 14 AU away from your ship. More detailed scanning generally requires additional equipment such as a [[Scanning#Probe_scanning|probe launcher]] (used in Exploration) or a [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanner]] (used in Mining). | |||

The '''directional scanner''' ("d-scan") is a built-in device that comes with all ships and can detect most objects in space at long range. The directional-scanner is an extremely powerful searching tool, especially for PvP, in all sectors of space. A d-scan can cover an area with a range of up to about 14.3 AU (appx. 2 x10<sup>9</sup> km), and at an angle from 5° to 360°. When used the directional scanner lists all valid objects it can find within the scan area. | The '''directional scanner''' ("d-scan") is a built-in device that comes with all ships and can detect most objects in space at long range.
