Obligatory Note - technique refers to your personal ability to do something, juxtapose your skill levels which makes it easier to have no technique, like an Omega.

If you can’t get your site scan above X% (all numbers in op are arbitrary), it’s probably level IV or higher site. Here’s how you crack it.
Your directional movements are on the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis.
Get as high a percent you can. From there, move only ONE axis at a time, at a certain scan range (say 8AU). move it a little bit. Did your PERCENTAGE go up or down? If up, keep moving it a tiny bit that way, if down move it a tiny bit the other way.
Rinse and repeat for each axis.
When you can’t seem to get it to go up anymore, it’s time to narrow your scan to 4AU.
Rinse and repeat.
Keep making little adjustments until you nudge that site up to about 10% higher than where where you were stuck at. Then you should be able to target it directly and pop it with ease.
This is a colossal waste of time if you’re going to keep it at 8AU.
You should be more than able to increase the scan focus down to 1 AU with just one or two scans and then focus it down to 0.25AU shortly after, instead of this wasteful method of jiggling around your probes one axis at a time at 8AU.
If your scan strength cannot meet the requirement to probe down a site, it doesn’t matter how much wiggling you do with your probes. Your technique does not allow you magically generate additional strength.
Speak for yourself. Other than being in an un-bonused ship with probes on, I never get below 89% but that site has to be level 5 to get me stuck.
I suggest training the scanning skills to level 5 and then the hacking skills to level 5.
There was one site that was VERY hard to find I read about after David Bowie’s death, R.I.P… It was called space oddessy and required crazy scan skills. Appeared randomly as a signature daily in any system.
It was just a zephyr flying space. A tiny object moving, no wonder->Commander Tom. Fitting memorial, hope they have it so I can find.
I can scan down sites in about 30 seconds. Like I said previous, this is a colossal waste of time. 5 minutes is so incredibly slow, it’s not even funny.
I find it cute how defense you’ve gotten after a bunch of people told you that your inexperience method is ineffective and now you’re just trying to put words into other people’s mouths. I think we’re done here.
This is not true. Scan probes are directional range finders. They will always report back the same distance based on where you put the center of them. This works out to site%.
So you want us to believe you know what you’re talking about?
Good for you. But for the rest of us with 7 scanning skills and T1 gear. We arent as glorious as you oh Omega overlord. We just want the free-be game and to steal all your 100mil isk cans in my 680k Imicus fit.
Go blow yourself elsewhere man.
This is a techniques thread for those who cant scan down a site but want to.
Not those who think they are so cools with their maxed out scans in high Tech rigs.
