Recommended Skills-Astrometrics

Astrometrics

Have Astrometrics to level 4 and all of the other three scanning support skills to level 3. To be certain, have Astrometric Rangefinding, Astrometric Pinpointing and Astrometric Acquisition to level 3 each. You are not looking for the ability to just scan, you need to be able to scan quickly too. There is more to be said about these skills in the “Scanning Your Ass Off” section.
