but i thought if you're a pirate, using probes takes too long and your target will usually get away. 

what about the directional scanner?

You could use it to find mission runners, who will be in the one spot for quite some time. Directional scanner has a max range of 14AU(max range) I think. So you warp around the system while constantly using the directional scanner, if you see a ship it's within 14AU of you. If you have wrecks added to your overview, and you see some wrecks aswell, it's likely someone doing missions or someone ratting. To find out if it's someone ratting, align to the belts that are within 14 AU of you since he has to be at one of them(he could also be in a safespot/mission deadspace or in a POS on a planet). Reduce the angle of the scanner, use 360 when warping around the system, and to narrow him down go 180/90 and as smaller as you can(reducing the range on the scanner will help too if you know your numbers) get while keeping the belt/celestial object centred on your screen you should be able to find the belt he's at. You'll suck at it at first but in time you get faster at it.

P.s: When you use a direction like 180 degrees, the way your screen is faced determines which way the scan goes, so if you spin the camera around behind your ship, the scan goes behind you. Thank Adams, he's the nub who showed me.

Yeah it sucks you can't fit a MWD on there. Other than that I suppose it's some added DPS and tackle to the fleet.

if you were a super pro at scanning, as in you didn't make any mistakes and etc, how long would it take you to get into the system and warp to your target?  would it be enough to attack the guy before he warps off?

I'd rather have laser skills than scanning skills. Here let me launch my probes at you *herp derp*
