Scanning, does it help find rare NPC's?

I've heard that scanning improves your chances of finding rarer NPC's but I'm unsure if that is true The wiki doesn't mention whether or not scanning affects you ability to find NPC's so I'm wondering if anyone in the forums knows for sure; Does having a higher scan give you a better chance at finding rare NPC's? _________________ For ship, for home, for legion.

Specifically, some NPCs have cloak. You can dig around in the wiki for the cloak on various ones. But to answer your initial question, as long as you have enough scan to see an NPC, having more scan than that does not increase the spawn rate of it. _________________

Excess scan will technically REDUCE your chance of finding other stuff because it will cause your pool to be diluted by higher cloaked NPCs. This is why when assassin first came out ppl begged for it to be more than 50 cloak XD _________________ 当所有传奇写下第一个篇章原来所谓英雄也和我们一样私は一発の銃弾、銃弾は人の心を持たない。故に、何も考えない。ただ、目的に向かって飛ぶだけ

I've been working on wiping out all my mission NPCs for the purpose of increasing the rates of everything else (more specifically, the good stuff I'm after).

There is no evidence, that it increase the spawn rate of rate/elite NPCs but definitely it helps if you exclude: * the mission NPCs which can spawn till the mission is not done * the NPCs with cloak higher than your scan * kill all space entities ASAP! _________________ on tour
