Scanning:Scan Results

Scan Results

General Exploration Points

• The more difficult a site is to scan down, the better the site will be.
• There is a specific ammount of each type of site.
• The amount is constant.
• When a site is completed it spawns somewhere else almost immediately.
• Sites have a 3 day timer, if they are not completed within that time they despawn at the next server downtime and will spawn somewhere else.
• ID - - - Scan Group - - - Group - - - Type - - - Signal Strenght - - - Distance are the categories in the scan results window
• Sites are given a 3 letter - 3 number identification number. For example ILN-883.
• This identification number is changed each day at sever downtime.
• The Group normally shows at around 30% signal strength; and the Type around 70%.
• If the Group and Type both show Unknown this usually indicates a COSMOS site.

Gravimetric Sites

• This site will despawn when it is completely mined or when its 3 day timer expires.
• Gravimetric Sites seem to be the most difficult type of site to scan down. (In K-space, anyway)
• Gravimetric Sites general have asteroids that are not found in the current security level of the solar system.
• The Asteroids will be those that are found in the security level below the current level of the solar system. Example: Low sec asteroids will be found in high sec gravimetric sites.
• I have not heard of gravimetric sites in 0.0 security systems.
• When spawned each site will have all flavors of each type of asteroid. For example a Small Omber Deposit will have Golden, Silvery, and regular Omber Asteroids in the site.
• NPC Pirates can and do spawn in these asteroid fields.
• It is unusual to have can tippers in these fields. (Notice I said unusual, not never.)
• I have mined gravimetric sites, especially the more difficult to scan down sites; for hours without another person ever entering the site.
• The above statement does not include anywhere near the university, since many there are trained and do scan down sites regularly.
• The value of these sites are questionable. It may be more profitable to just mine Veldspar and sell it; rather than mining the specific ores needed for manufacturing.
• There is an emote given in local when you complete the site. (Mine out the site.)
• When a site is first found, all the asteroids of that particular site may not be spawned initially. Some spawn over time.
• The above has given rise to an old capsuleers tale of gravemetric asteroid fields "refilling"; if at least one asteroid is left and not mined in the field.
• When initially spawned, the asteroids in many gravimetric sites have a very round number of ore. For example a Golden Omber asteroid might have 18,000 units of ore. This is not always true for all sites.

Ladar Sites

• This site will despawn when fully mined or when the 3 day timer expires.

Magnetometric Sites

• This site will despawn when someone attempts to open a can and then leaves the site (whether sucessful or not) or the 3 day timer expires.

Specific Magnetometric Sites found in High Security Systems

• Looted Angel Ruined Station (4/5 cans many surrounded by 3 to 5 pirate wrecks (some have loot))

Radar Sites

• This site will despawn when someone attempts to open a can and then leaves the site (whether sucessful or not) or the 3 day timer expires.
• The loot from the containers normally has to do with invention such as decryptors, data cores, or things used in invention or building T2 items.

Specific Radar Sites found in High Security Systems

• Local Angel Data Terminal (4 cans)
• Local Angel Backup Server (4 cans)
• Local Angel Shattered Life-Support Unit (4 cans, with 3 Gistii-Thugs; opening a can has a chance to spawn 2 additional pirates.)
