Typically, when entering a system, you'll scan at 360 degrees to see what's close by in space. If a ship of interest appears on d-scan, start narrowing your scan towards various celestials.

Once you've reasonably narrowed your scan towards a celestial where you suspect your target is, warp to it at whatever distance you're comfortable with. The idea is to only warp to fight you think you'll win, so this means you'll oftentimes be warping to 0. Watch this video if this remains ambiguous ---> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99kRIbp4FBQ Goonswarm d-scan tutorial]. Do not be discouraged if you don't get it right the first time, as it takes practice.

Also, you can use your system scanner to find anomalies that might have pilots both willing and unwilling to fight inside. The directional scanner should be used first, but if you're having trouble scanning someone down, run the system scanner to check for anomalies.
Being able to quickly scan down potential targets is crucial. Hit hard, hit fast, and don't give your enemy time to rally the cavalry. Again, what you're attempting to do is destroy that wonderful advantage called ''choice''.

If your narrowed directional scans produce no result, but you can still see your enemy on a 360 scan, try your system scanner as a last ditch effort. Sometimes pirates and the like will rat in anomalies, and you can make their ratting experience loads more thrilling. The nice thing about anomalies is that if you happen to catch a pilot inside one, there's a fair chance that he's already drawn aggression from the rats.
