Working as intended. We aren't mixing and matching, sorry. Sweet name btw, 'mon the Terrors!

You do know you can hot key the DScan button right?

Thanks for the detailed feedback

1. We will not be backporting any functionality to the old map, but the point about icons is a good one. I'll raise it with CCP Colgate tomorrow and see if we can do something here.

2. If you are having performance issues with the map, please do submit a bug report so we can get your computer specs and settings. That's the best way for us to plan optimisations. Don't worry though, this is not "final form"

3&4. These should be fixed in the update going out tomorrow, to the best of my knowledge. We didn't change the font, but made the background match the scheme you've chosen, so readability should be markedly improved.

5. Try adjusting your Tooltip Delay a tiny bit in the General Settings menu. This help me immensely in this regard. Also make sure you are using Markers to remove things you don't need to care about (e.g. Probes, Belts, etc.). It is something we're monitoring though.

This has actually been an issue for a really long time, but many seem to be noticing it more with these changes. I've been pressuring to get some developer traction on a fix.

It's a visual representation of the Directional Scanner. It can be disabled currently by closing the Directional Scanner, but we are adding a toggle to have D-scan open and not display the visual representation.

Please think of DOS for simple applications.

Scanning is a simple application, please leave it as such since all we want out of it is speed. The current version works very well for this.

About the only addition that you could make to improve the current scanning is adding the short cut for Scan.

Thanks for listening to all of our feedback! If not for a few remaining issues I'd say the new solar system map is now ahead of the old one regarding features and functionality. Merging probing and d-scanning in a far more obvious way was definitely the way to go.

However I’d like to put some emphasis on an issue that has been raised before. Namely the way that the new map handles the celestials that are selected by clicking on them outside of the map window (which puts them in the ‘selected item window’). That is: it does nothing. The old functionality strikes me as rather fundamental to orientation on the map. A simple click on an objects bracket showed you the location of the object you were looking for. Double clicking an entry, for example in the overview, would even center the map on it. One possible use case comes up while trying to identify a feasible celestial to ping to before warping to an out gate. Open map, double click gate on overview, map centers on gate, check for pings, d-scan, warp and jump and hope there’s no camp on the other side.

The other thing that seems to be critical is to be able to see your ships HUD when having the map on full screen. However, I take you’re already on that one. While on it just please remember that some people have the HUD at the top of the screen. It might interfere with the map controls.

Thanks again for your great work.

Just a small note here with the new scanning map, i know it have some know issues so I'm just going to skip asking about all that and go for the main problem i been having, or wish to have changed? it just a small detail but it bugs me at the moment.

Namely the D scan Bubble in the new mapper, why does it have to be red, Blue or green would be better to offset it from all the signatures or it get kinda bloated up when you try to aim the d scan toward a signature that some pray may be hiding at.

Also I would like some input from others if they would think a colour change? or custom colour setting? is a good/bad idea?

Just want a small answer so my brain would stop chew in the little things...
