scanning a system..

[Steppenrazor]

how does scanning a system work? i saw the tutorial..

but eh % numbers don't show up? the first system? probe seems to work.. finds all kinds of spots.. but the other 2? dont seem to do much.. i've put them right next to stuff the 1st probe found.. played with the area and strength..

but never seems to let me do anything? travel to those spots?

(i had a free lancer join mission that took* me to a system that had an adventure guild.. figured i'd try to join it too.. but not sure how to find hidden stuff?

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with scanning.
No matter what I do, signal strength is at 1-2%.

[Tenryuta]

booster increases % in ticks, merger is used to move them inward to the center of them, boost no more 15-20% kill strength, merge til 3-5%, repeat til theyre all gone(if you get them all to pop at the center they move towards, that should get you the discovery)

[Karr]

Ok, after some time going at this here is what I have found:

1. Drop Catcher probe and leave it alone

2. Drop the Booster probe
Adjust the size and strength of the probe until the number are close to 20
Once the numbers are there slide the strength to 0

3. Drop the Merger probe
Adjust the size and strength of the probe until they start moving close together
Keep an eye on the numbers and then slide the strength to zero to stop them

Repeat step 2 and 3 until you get the sig

my booster and merger probes are always grayed out-i did buy them

by the way, how i can drop the probes ? i got all of them

[Thorandai]

@Dem you have to drop your catcher probe first that will then allow you to drop the others
@Dennap you have to do so on the system map on the bottom of the map you will see little tabs for the different options, select scanning option it will pop up the probes

Yes I know, thanks

But i'm sure it's a bug.

Can someone make a video guide for this, please?

So to use the boost you gotta drag and drop it on top the birghter green hexgon that are on the map now click deploy or whatever the pop up says now set the area with the slider (you will see a green circle going bigger w/e is inside that circle is what it will affect) now you increase the strength you will see the singals #% start to go up (if it goes over 20% it gets deleted so don't allow it to go over 20) once you have them at a good number now drag a drop the merger setup is the same but this one pulls all the singla together to form one big one BUT this also minus the #% so you gotta be careful and pay attention

if you overlap them nicely you can have both going at the same time with the right power set you can keep the signal #% stable

The goal is to get them all in contact with each other


as for a video hit esc click video tutorial -> scroll down click "scanning" watch and listen/read theres a few "pages" it the arrow on the button to change to the next one all of them explain everything in detail.

Those tutorials didn't help me. I read them a few times and still can't do it.

Be sure to wait for the booster and merge probes to finish flying to their destination before using their settings. Doing that while they are still flying bugged them for me.

which the video that its showing and remember that some have multiply pages to go through like the scanning one is like 4 pages alone if some one was to make a video it would be the exact same thing in that in that tutorial right now.


also for people confused why the boost/merger is greyed out or the probe just auto sends back to them well thats because there is NO extra signal in the system to scan not all systems have "hidden" things

as for the surface probe i honestly have no clue whats it for Lol

I watched all 7 of them in that category.
I haven't been able to scan ♥♥♥♥.
I get the echoes, I get them to merge, then they disappear (at varying numbers not just when the reach 0% or over 20%) and nothing is revealed.
Every damn time this happens.
Not to mention that sometimes it says that there is something to scan but there are no echoes on the map.

[Sabrehawk]

i gave up on that for now too :) too convoluted for my little brain :D

if you get them all together and not going over 20% or below 1 (you'll hear a little ding as they merge together and disappear)

you either didn't get enough to survive or its bugged but you are doing the scanning right.

it also doesn't really matter ATM all the places i've been to that it reveals are bugged and you can't interact with the bases/stations.
