Probe scanning for anomalies stucks at 62% to 63.4 % fluctuates in between those numbers
I tried out probe scanning to find anomalies for hacking data sites, I found a potential hack site level 4 on what it tells me by a glance. But the problem is that I am unable to get it to 100 %, it's always fluctuates between 62% - 63% more or less between that.

I really have no idea what to do with that, other then readjusting, and I already scanned it at the lowest range scan as possible, adjust the posiiton, re scan rinse and repeat.

never get higher then 63%.

Anyone got a solution to this type of issues in game when probe scanning to find anomalies ?

I have max skills and those i never completely scan them because i cant access anyway with the cruiser i use. Those can be very good money if you are lucky.

What can help you (Ranking prio):

- Skills
- Exploration/Covert Ops frigates with bonusses (for both scanning and hacking)
- Sisters Probe Launcher and Sisters Core Scanner Probes
- Scanner Rigs and Scan modules
- Implants


Important: Hold CTRL and use your mousewheel to make the probe formation so tight that the spheres seem almost like just one sphere for some extra percentage if you have narrowed down the site good enough.

Additionally: Hover your mouse over the symbols of the scanner window. You will see a breakdown of your overall scan strength and what influences it (skill, modules, ship etc.). You see this value as well in the fitting screen when hovering your mouse over the probe launcher (which must be loaded with probes!).

Level 4 sites - Strength needed: 90
Level 5 sites - Strength needed: 104
(dunno if they changed the values though)

Read about Sleeper, especially Ghost sites or any other you might encounter. Hacking sites in Wormholes can be guarded depending on the naming convention of the site. Google these always.
