The directional-scanner ("d-scanner") is an extremely powerful searching tool, especially for PvP, in all sectors of space. A d-scan can cover an area with a range of up to about 14 AU (appx. 2 x10<sup>9</sup> km), and at an angle from 5° to 360°.

In fleets it is common for intel reports to be made by pasting the scanner results into an online parser (''such as [https://adashboard.info/intel Adashboard]''). These can give a Fleet Commander intelligence on enemy fleet compositions to help decide whether an engagement is worth pursuing. Directional scanning is also widely used in mining and exploring to give early warning of hostile ships and/or combat probes. Good scanning can provide the vital seconds needed to escape an incoming attack.

In solo PVP, the d-scanner can be used to locate opponents.
