Scanning skills and General skills

[PrinceYumil]

1. Do scanning skills like scan human/animal, probing, analysis, biology, and others, have any affect on any other professions or activities in EU? If I chip up or chip out any of these skills, will I gain or lose in any other professions besides the investigator ones? Mostly I am considsering chipping out, but only as long as I do not sustain a significant loss in any of my combat professions. Are there people who will buy these skills? (Too lazy to look in PEAuction atm ) Do the unlockable skills Xenobiology and Robotology have any effect on other professions, or anything othe than scanning professions? Pretty much the only reason I scan now at all is either to see an avatar's attributes/profession levels to get an idea of how strong they are, and to acquire skills which will hopefully have a greater value than the decay I spend on the scanner.

2. I recently decided, no more mining, no more crafting, just hunting, at least for now. Was getting low on PEDs so I chipped out all my mining and crafting skills (except a couple which I couldn't because the ESI was down to 10 PEDs, will buy another soon.) My question is: are any of the general skills completely unrelated to combat or fapping?

About scanning, I believe some of the science skills are useful in crafting, animal taming and maybe others. I am not sure however but you can check the pe-wiki charts (I would be they are slow for me

scanning gives perception that adds to HA AFAIK (not 100% sure though, 99%)

btw, most of general skills, like dexterity and such are used by almost all proffesions. So DON'T chip them out if you change proffesions.
shame you have chipped out minning, you never know you want to drop a probe/bomb in a year or so (and now isn't a good skill selling time IMHO)

Charts are working properly for me now and to add you can also gain anatomy when scanning which helps with a lot of hunting profs.

Edit: Computer is another one that helps with mining and crafting.

I'd buy your robotology skills.

See this thread: Impact on professions of chipping skills

1: Probing and Biology have been shown to only contribute to scanning professions. I have chips in Analysis and Scan Human which I will be testing when the chip bug is fixed. I can't rule out the possibility they some of them contribute towards HP though.

2: Alertness only affects evading&dodge (and pet handling). Athletics I believe is similar. Bravado only affects melee I believe. All the other main ones affect all hunting professions afaik. (quickness and intuition may only affect evade & dodge though)
