Scanners

Two scanners find deals the market is mispricing. Both are click-to-scan (nothing runs in the background), scoped to N jumps around a system you pick.

Ore & Ice deals

Finds ore/ice selling below the value of the minerals it refines into, at your reprocessing yield (set skills + facility in the Skills menu — the header shows the yield used):

  • Margin vs buying minerals — buy the ore, refine, use the minerals: cheaper than buying minerals directly?
  • Margin vs reselling — could you even flip the refined output for profit?
  • By station view groups deals into one-stop shops: best source plus how much more is buyable there; stack cost and profit per line.

Order depth is real — the scanner walks actual sell orders, so a 1-unit troll listing can't fake a deal. Partial scans are reported honestly ("N/M fetches failed — results are partial").

Sourcing (mineral basket)

Give it your mineral needs (or pull them from the current build) and it optimises the whole basket: buy minerals directly vs buy ore and refine, across every station in range — including mixed answers ("these three minerals from ore, the rest direct").

Scan etiquette (public builds)

Scans default to 5 jumps (max 10) with a 30-second re-scan cooldown — the app is a polite ESI citizen so it stays reliable for everyone. Results are cached; switching tabs never re-scans.
