ok so i was doing an NPC mission and searching for a Gravometric signature. i found one and got the probes as close as i could. and i mean it read as 99%. so now my next question is, how do i actually warp to this location? i tried right clicking in the scan and it just kept giving me options to ignore the results and such. one probe scanned close within 66,000km how much closer do i have to get? |

You need to scan a signal to 100% or you cannot warp to it. Once you get it to 100% you can either directly warp to it or bookmark it for further reference.
If you managed to scan it to 99% either your probes are a little out of position (try jiggling them a little) or you need higher probe strength to get a lock on the signal. The ship type, rigs, skills, sisters probes, sisters launchers and virtue implant set can all help to get you increase your scan strength. |

ok yeah, i tried moving them around a bit and it still wouldn't scan to 100% this is one of the starter career missions so it shouldn't require much as it provides you with the equipment. i.e. launcher and probes. it just seems like no matter how much i moved the probes the % wouldn't change to 100. how close in KM do the probes have to be to the signature? also would it help to have 4 probes in place than just 1 or 2? |

Need at least four probes to get 100% lock, unless you in a w-space scanning anomalies, those only need one probe to lock down.
I have had the need a few times to use six probes to get a C6 WH to go green, but I have not tried in a long while and I have raised my skills a little since scanning changed. |

If you are using a diamond pattern, try a tetrahedron pattern (one directly above, three below in a triangle). Only use the tetrahedron pattern when you are trying to get that last few percent, as it is a pain to use a tetrahedron for general scanning. A probing ship; Magnate, Heron, Imicus, Probe; helps a lot (as do gravity capacitor rigs and sisters probes if you have ISK). |
