I see so many players and streamers being in pain from inefficient, slow core probe scanning. Here's a bunch of tips to make you a PRO SCANNER in no time. Core-Scan like a Pro. NOW! Here are some quick and easy tips on how you can speed up and simplify your scanning with core probes. Please note this guide does not cover combat scanner probes which require different tactics sometimes. This guide assumes you fly a ship with the usual scanning bonuses, like a scan frigate, T3 cruiser with CovOps subsystem or similar. All of it still holds true for non-specialized scanning but you may need to decrease the scan radius in smaller steps. Let's start! Always use 'Pinpoint formation'. Once set it will alway be chosen by default when you launch your probes. Spread formation is utterly useless for core probing purposes. First, do a full system scan. Depending on system size this can be from 16ly (small systems) to multiple 32ly scans (very big systems). The normal case is 16ly to cover most if not all sites. If there are only a few outside the scan radius it's better to chose 16 since this often saves you a whole scan on the covered sites. Then you can still do another 16ly to cover the remaining few. USE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS to scan and change the radius. There are mousewheel actions which are slower and require more hand action. Try it out if you like, then go keyboard :D Bind: Scan, increase radius, decrease radius. That's it, the rest you do with your mouse. Doubleclicking on the system display switches between perfect topdown and perfect from-the-side view. This is IMPORTANT for the next step and much faster and precise than messing around freestyle click-and-dragging the mouse. A doubleclick is all you need (!) After the initial 16/32 ly scan, select a site to scan down. First, click once on the site to focus the camera. If you do not do this, the next steps might place your 'scan cube' slightly off the site. Now click and drag the cube side that is facing you. In topdown view it's the top side, in side view it's whatever side is facing you. Do this once in either topdown or side view until it aligns with the site. (the cube should be roughly on top of the red dot of the site) Then doubleclick switch to sideview. This time you do NOT use the cube side facing you but instead the big arrows extending from the cube, to position the cube on top of the site. Why? Because you already fixated 2 dimensions in the previous step. Using a cube side now would only risk to offset it again. Instead, use the arrows which only ever change the cube position in ONE dimension, which is the only one left. This is the power! This is the fastest and ONLY way you should ever, ever position your 'scan cube'. Freestyle moving with your mouse without using the topdown/side view approach is ridiculously slow and imprecise. Move down radius to 8ly if initial scan used a 32ly radius and down to 4ly if initial was 16ly. Remember to do the first alignment (in 2 dimensions) using the cube side facing you, then in the next step use the ARROWS to finalize its location. After you scanned the first scan with a 4/8ly radius its position will be more accurate. With a scan-bonus ship: decrease radius by 2 notches. Unless the site position changed drastically during your previous scan, in which case you may need to turn down only 1 notch. Without scan bonuses: decrease by 1 notch. Use your keyboard shortcut to do this. It's much faster than clicking in the UI and faster than using the ALT-mousewheel action. Particularly because ALT is a long way left of your mouse while you can bind all relevant keys to somewhere near your ENTER key. This may sound pedantic but it will save you many hours of lifetime during your Eve Online career. Keep the key bindings near your mouse so you can move and modify the scanning in a relaxed way without ever shifting your hands. I have bound increase and decrease to + and -, respectively, 'Scan' to the key directly between those. (EU keyboard) Repeat the cube move step (see 2 above) using topdown and side view and the clickdrag of the cube side facing you. The reason why you never use a different side is easy: The one facing you only moves the cube in the correct 2 dimensions for the view (one dimension is fixed which makes positioning so easy). With a 2-4 ly radius you should already see many sites for what they are and can decide if you want to continue or ignore that site. Wormholes in particular are usually discovered at 4ly radius, unless the site position jumped a lot in the previous step. If you continue, go down 1-2 notches (this comes with experience and differs by type of site) to get the final warp-to result. For example, wormholes usually get warp-to status after a 1ly radius scan while relic and data sites often require 0.5 to 0.25 ly radius because their signature is smaller. For the next site you want to scan, return to 8ly radius. Unless you didn't catch it in the initial scan, in which case you might need to 16/32 ly once more. Using Sisters of Eve probes over the regular ones gives you a small but noticeable bonus to scan strength. Their launcher and probes are not that expensive so if you scan a lot, be sure to use the Sister's variants. Last but not least, don't forget to collect your probes when you are done. Give it a try and see how your scanning becomes so much more comfortable. Good luck, capsuleer!

本指南旨在教导阿尔法克隆玩家如何在低安/零安空间安全采矿。本攻略中涉及的所有舰船和装备均对阿尔法克隆玩家友好。 低安/零安空间的勘探者级配装 在可能遭遇PVP的空间采矿时，舰船配装是最重要的事项之一。以下将提供基础配装和进阶配装两种方案，两者均对阿尔法克隆玩家友好。初级勘探者配装 采矿器I 采矿器I 打捞器I 勘测扫描仪I 中型护盾扩展器I 1MN加力燃烧器I 损伤控制I 小型电磁护盾增强器I 小型电磁护盾增强器I 小型热能护盾增强器I 高级勘探者配装 采矿器II 采矿器II 勘测扫描仪II 中型共沸约束护盾扩展器 5MN四锂约束微型跃迁推进器 采矿激光升级II 小型核心防御力场扩展器I 小型电磁护盾增强器I 小型热能护盾增强器I 安全采矿的地点与方法 采矿地点 采矿地点的选择与舰船配装同样重要。你进行采矿的星系中应只有友方玩家，若有其他任何人跃迁进入该星系，需准备好跃迁并停靠至最近的空间站。在异常区域采矿通常利润更高，因此建议优先选择异常区域而非小行星带，不过两者都能为你带来不错的ISK。 如何安全采矿 抵达 当跃迁进入小行星带或异常区域后，立即检查总览以查看是否有海盗或敌对玩家。如果存在任何威胁，跃迁至最近的空间站；若有敌对玩家，建议停靠空间站或逃离该星系。驾驶勘探者级时，应不惜一切代价避免战斗。 采矿 找到安全的采矿地点后，使用微型跃迁推进器或加力燃烧器移动到你想要开采的最远小行星处，这样当有玩家跃迁进入时，你将有更多时间逃离星系。 找到小行星后，锁定目标并停船（距离应保持在4000米左右）。然后前往总览，对准最近的空间站或星门，待舰船完成对准后停止。对准能显著减少跃迁到目标地点所需的时间。完成对准后，你就可以开始采矿了。 如果你有喜欢采矿的朋友或友好玩家，建议组队采矿。这样有更多人留意威胁，逃生的几率也更高。 若有任何人进入小行星带或异常空间，立即跃迁到你之前对准的地点，停靠空间站或逃离该星系。 如何应对敌对玩家： 本地聊天：采矿时务必保持本地聊天窗口开启。你可以通过它确切了解谁在当前星系，即使对方处于隐形状态，也会显示在聊天列表中。定向扫描：如果本地聊天频道出现其他玩家，开始使用定向扫描（使用圆形扫描范围）来确认他们是否在你附近。如果扫描到舰船，将扫描半径调整为0.25天文单位。若再次扫描到他们，说明他们正在向你跃迁。此时立即向已对准的方向跃迁，并停靠空间站或逃离当前星系。 保持警惕：如果有玩家跃迁到你正在采矿的位置，不要惊慌。立即向已对准的方向跃迁，然后逃离该星系。如果选择停靠空间站，对方可能会在空间站外蹲守几分钟，因此最好逃往3-4个星系之外。
