===Directional Scanner===
This is built into every ship, and can be used to discover, but not pinpoint, objects up to 14 AU away from you.  You can do a lot with this little gem.  See [[Directional Scanner]].
===On-board System Scanner===
===On-board System Scanner===
The on-board scanner can be used to find NPC combat sites.  These sites have rats appropriate to the systems security status (''If this is wrong, edit this, I've never scanned down and looked at nullsec sites.'')  The on-board scanner can not be used while warping, unlike probes.  To find these sites, you simply warp to planets, initiate the scan, and warp to any results.  These sites can also be found by probes, and are ''very'' easy to scan down with even one probe.  They can be distinguished from exploration sites because they do not show up on scans filtered down to cosmic signatures.
