Just a thought I had whilst being denied the pleasure of scanning down yet an other elusive Radar site.

Would a ganglink module that benefitted scanning probes interest players? Perhaps for a corp post-DT so a small group could go around local systems and scan down any sites of interest a little quicker, jus thinking that the bonus would help less-skilled players too with scanning down signatures too, and do so in a team environment.

Your thoughts?

all I ask for is a bait ship, and a blob to sail her into!

Easy Button. I love it. Gimme one, too. Sucks to actually have to work to get something around here.

Scanning is hard now? Did this get patched in last night while I was asleep?

probing is fine, l2p.

I should buy an Ishtar.

I think it is fine just the way it is. Less-skilled players can already scan majority of the sites and you need to have a reason to train the skills further. If you want to make it a team effort, how about getting somebody who is more specialized in scanning into the team?

probing does not need to be made any easier, period.

IMO this would be excellent. This way you could either have gang links or implants to probe down "unprobable" fleet boosters. The problem IMO is what would happen if you have both.

Those don't exist anymore....

Granted, you do need high skills and a fair bit of isk to find them, but all ships can be probed now.

You mean perfect skills and billions in implants I believe. Having an easier way of probing these ships down is only fair.

it would be a step in a right direction. certainly better than completely removing OGBs.

I should buy an Ishtar.
