But another question I have is, do scans by probots give you visibility? I couldn't understand how I got visibility the first time other than a probot search that happened while I was grinding. To my knowledge there was no NPCs or PCs around while I was grinding( I check my radar and overhead before killing those nasty pickets and quenkers). Any thoughts?
PS before you suggest that maybe there was a NPC or PC near, I know that I may not have noticed any but just trying to see if anyone else has had a similar experience with probot scans.
yes droids give vis. especially factioned droids like a scanning probot. they dont give you vis by scanning you but just the same way any other NPC does. its not proven one way or the other if your personal droids give vis or not but i dont use em when i fight just to be safe. but wild NPC droids sure do.
if your a rebel jedi your insane staying in that faction since its easy to get turned overt and then hit by a gank squad on your way to a recruiter. go neutral or imp while grinding.
i treat all dots as NPC till i check them all. and i dont equip the saber til im positive there are no NPC near me. i dont ride around with my saber equiped since it only takes on sister or mokk to yank you off your ride or a DJM to force choke your bike and your on the terms from autodefend.
Thanks for the input.
Well I am Imp so I was suprised to be scanned. It didn't didn't say anything like scan didn't find anything or your clear. It just disappeared. I have been scanned by NPC ST that tell me to move along after the scan or say their sorry. Oh well -176k for the day and there is alway tomorrow.
Edit:I often zoom in my radar to64m and then checkall the dots that are there, then zoom back out to256m. If any NPC or PC is nearI just move on.

Just like to thank whoever 1 starred me for asking a question! w00t!
Better to ask and be safe then be dumb and think you know it all. With the FAQ being so short and vague, I for one applaud you to askingthis for atleast bringing it to discussion.
imps still get scanned they get fined and lose faction if their rank is low. rebels get turned overt. and for a rebel jedi this is pretty suicidal heheh

i always attack the imperial npc that is scanning me, a dead imp npc and a TEF is better IMO then getting flipped overt
