Scanning

Scanning can be a valuable tool to locate objects, ships and hidden locations within the solarsystem you are located in. All ships within EVE come with an On-Board Scanner that anyone can use for directional scanning. However, as with most good things, if you really want to get serious, additional skills and equipment will provide you with many more options.
