About dscan.info

  • I don't want to reveal my character name at this point for one simple reason: dscan.info should not be stigmatized as a tool from alliance/coalition XYZ.

    I started playing EVE in 2011 and living in Nullsec since 2013. Yes, I am a member of a larger Nullsec alliance, but:
    dscan.info is a private project and is not (and never was) in any way related to the alliance I am member of, or any other political party.

    Nobody except myself has access to this server and the database containing the scans.
    I want to provide an independent tool for the whole playerbase, nobody should be concerned that the scans are abused or leaked to anyone.

    Because I was asked this a few times: There are currently no plans to publish the code of this site, sorry.

    Heart of dscan.info is its database of course with ~1.3m known characters. Characters are cached for ~6 days to keep the impact on CCPs servers low.
    This also means that characters that recently changed corp/alliance could be shown in the old corp/alliance.

    This is how the usage numbers look like:
