i'm actually liking the new probing system thanks for allowing us to launch less the 8 probes but i still have a problem with wh showing up instantly on the sensor sweep i think this is an issue because as soon as you open a connection to a nw wh system everyone is going to get a new sig beep and pos up there by killing the chance of surprising anyone mining / running an anom i really think the only way to solve this is by making whs undetectable on the sensor

Has a way to turn off the initial scan when you undock or jump been applied?

I still want a way to not have this auto scan every time. Unless I am out actively looking for sigs it is 100% unnecessary. I never want this on when im trying to pilot a cov ops to go spying or taking the prowler out through hostile territory. My freighters dont need it....my orca does not require it....i could make a list of ships but I think you get the point.

Not everyone is out lookin for sigs....and it provides no immerseful game play to have this stuff pop up and garble the screen when im trying to get the hell out of a bubble.

~R~

Just give 3 options:

1. always turned off
2. always turned on
3. scan only once when entering system/undocking

And new look of scan is meeeh, the first one was the best

My only grievance with the current iteration is as follows (and it's entirely possible someone else has brought this up, not reading through this threadnought):

I enter a system, and I get all the anoms and am made roughly aware of the sigs. Cool.

I launch probes and scan a sig down. Okay. But now there doesn't seem to be a way to get the ship-scanner rough approximation of the other sig locations back. The icons still show in space, but they're gone from the list now that I've used my probes.

It's not a huge deal, but it seems silly that, despite the fact that my scanner sweep is still running, it can't seem to find the approximate location of sigs anymore.

You still have to change filter settings to get the list to populate in some instances. Coming out of a wormhole, the sweeper was on, but no sigs until i changed filters. When a new WH static spawns, you also have to change filters to get it to populate to the list.

Now that the scanner button is fixed, it seems the sweep animation is broken. It will go 'round and 'round even when I have "show overlay" turned off. So then I turn the overlay on, wait a moment, then turn it off again to fix the sweep. It usually works when I do that.. sometimes it doesn't.

I would love to be able to display the sensor overlay in "always on" with a sweep only every 1 minut or so. Or even without sweep at all.

Brackets are interesting, sweeping is a gadget. Useless and disturbing.

The blurr effect around a signature is fine, except when you are looking at an anomaly behing a planet, in this case it makes an ugly grey (I'm in caldari space) circle.

As of this morning's patch, I too have the overlay sweeper going on repeat at login while the menu says it's off. The 2 sigs in space show up as grey circles, and the anoms don't show up at all. Turning the overlay on and then off fixes it.

You shouldt know what type of signature is until you have it scanned down to at least 25%. Actually, the current system works fine in that aspect.

This might be a part of why they initially removed the % strength readout from the scanning system. They were hoping to eliminate the practice of cherry-picking by initial signal strength, but everyone and their little sister's ugly dog demanded to have the % readout so it was put back in. People and their stupid worship of ISK/hr, I swear.


In regards to the overlay being broken, it seems that exiting warp will trigger the overlay to start spinning again even if it's not supposed to. This includes canceling warp by Ctrl-ESC before you actually enter the warp. Once triggered, it will continue to spin forever and ever until you turn it on and then off again.
