===On-board System Scanner===

The on-board scanner can be used to find ~~NPC combat sites/~~Cosmic Anomalies. These sites ~~can~~ contain 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. Cosmic Anomalies are designed to appear within 4 AU range around planets. Open~~ your on-board scanner by pressing CTRL+F11, select the "System Scanner" and press the "analyze" button tab ~~(you may need to attempt this few times to pick up the harder ones, possibly 10 or more times)~~. When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time. 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, as they are cosmic anomalies.

The on-board scanner can be used to find Cosmic Anomalies. These are combat sites that contain rats depending on the site type, lower security space is more likely to find the harder sites (with higher rewards). The on-board scanner can not be used while warping, unlike probes. To find anomalies, open your on-board scanner by pressing CTRL+F11, select the "System Scanner" and press the "analyze" button tab which will show all sites within 64AU of your ship immediately at 100%. When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time. These sites can also be found by probes which will find all sites within range at 100% (warpable) on the first scan even with one probe. They can be distinguished from exploration sites because they do not show up on scans filtered down to cosmic signatures, as they are cosmic anomalies.
