Line 203:

* Note that core probes can go to half the range and therefore twice the strength of combat probes. When scanning difficult sites, you may need to switch to core probes.

===Deep Space Scanner Probes===

[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Deep_Space_Scanner_Probe_I Deep Space Scanner Probes] have the longest range of any probe (256AU at max) which means that they can detect every site in any system in one scan. This combined with the fact that every site has a base signal resolution strength means that a single probe can be used to distinguish types of sites with a single scan allowing a knowledgeable explorer to ignore sites that they are not interested in.

From the site linked above, there is also a wonderful webpage that allows the user to input their personal Deep Space Probe base scan strength and generate a table of what signatures will appear with what signal strength. From there, ignore sites with strengths that are uninteresting, pull out your Core Probes, and scan away. [http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/highsec.html Signature Band Table Generator]

Remember, you must insert your personal base scan strength of your own probes, this can be found by loading your launcher on your scanning ship with a Deep Space Probe, then selecting "Show Charge Info" from the fitting window.
