Wormholes

^listed as a known bug on the official thread. "being worked on".

Many expert scanners are now annoyed because the system they were so good at has changed, so they are not as good as they were before. Inept or mediocre scanners are delighted because the new system is easier and faster overall so they feel like they are pro now.

The right course for the expert scanners it to keep an open mind, tackle the new system and get as pro at it as they were with the old system, once again becoming even better and faster scanners than the permanoobs. I for one will try to do that

Personally, I don't like new scanning becoming too easy, killing a good portion of the personal skill that it required to effectively find targets.

And I'm afraid the hunter-seeker T3 I always liked to fly is a dead ship, for we'll need to raplace point with scan-modules to be in-line. ((

Cant wait for in depth review.

In general I like new scanning but there are definitely things to sort out like ignoring anoms, ignoring signatures on overlay and quite a few other things.

to ignore anoms while scanning signatures, I switched filter to cosmic signatures and unchecked the cosmic anomalies box. I just turn the overlay off. not useful at all when all ready scanning.

The new modules are OP though.

Has anyone had an issue with the window that lists your active probes? Mine always seems to be sorted by the time deployed column. As these numbers are constantly changing and identical due to the launching of all probes at once, this causes the probe list to constantly reorder itself every second which is infuriating when trying to change the size of certain probes. There's also no column headers any more so you can't change the sort column.

Dropping probes in formation, or grouping probes in a formation instantly is a good thing, as it eliminates the tedium of doing that each time you deploy probes. When they get the saved formations ready, that will be better.

Dropping all of your probes with one button-push is a good thing, as again, we would just spam the probe launcher while watching dscan anyway. More tedium removed. Ideally, they would let us launch as many as we wanted.

Dropping all of your probes instantly is bad because it reduces the scanner's exposure to danger. Making the probe launcher cycle once for each probe being deployed is the proper solution. That would allow the push-button-receive-probes action while making sure the scanner remains vulnerable as long as he used to be.

Recalling probes instantly is also bad, because it reduces the exposure time for the probes. If they don't have to fly to your ship from their current location in space, there is a lower chance of them being detected as they move.

At this point, the probe launcher and probes are mostly cosmetic, and the probes could be reduced to a script-type ammo. This would make more sense especially with the instant deploy and instant recall.


THAT's what is missing! Thanks, I was going out of my mind trying to figure out what was missing as it just didn't feel right anymore.

DSPs got removed because you now have one built into your ship. ;)

The most annoying thing I've found in the new system is all my probes appearing at the center of a system by default on the scanning screen, while they still are on my overview around my ship. Probably caused me to miss a drop on two domi's in lowsec last night, but now that I'm adjusted to it, it shouldn't be so bad.

I like the old scanning system, but its like they took my bicycle and turned it into a moped. It works sorta the same, but its also really different at the same time.

That is exactly their intention, and likely also why you can't launch just one probe.
