Every ship in Eve has a Directional Scanner (d-scan) that can be used to discover the rough location of certain kinds of objects up to 14 AU (appx. 2 x10<sup>9</sup> km) away from the ship. There are other kinds of specialized scanners, such as the [[probe scanning|probe launcher]] (used in Exploration) or the [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanner]] (used in Mining), but the d-scan comes with the ship and requires no additional training or fitting costs.
