Well I almost always get the efficiency bonus when scanning with the DSS for smaller planets if that's what you mean? Unless I'm being careless. Although if I bother with a gas giant then "willy nilly" is probably my approach once I've passed the efficiency point of the huge number of probes needed.
I first fire three (3) probes, at three (3) equidistant points of the circle around the planet, at maximum distance that will not result in a Miss. Then I fire a fourth probe directly into the center of planet's face that is facing toward me. For small to medium-sized planets this usually gets me to 100%. o7
Ddo you have a scanner with expanded probe radius?
It's worth doing, you can rarely miss efficiency targets with these unless a gas giant has rings in the way!
yep i have but have done so many times its easier to pop away now,as i said bit of fun
Thats cool mate, I just thought I'd mention it as im the lazier of pilots!
snap me to
I'm picky as to what Planets get scanned. I only scan ELW, WW & Ammonia Worlds......& even then only if I'm first to scan them. Though when out on Expedition I will Scan other bodies, should I want to land for Bioforms on the surface.
I have my own method which gets me the efficiency bonus 95-98% of the time.

I have an engineered scanner, so mostly use half of what's needed for the bonus. It says 4 then I use 2, or 6 then I use 3.
