Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Some days while living in a WH the biggest pain in your ass is having to scan s*** out its not really the length of time it takes its the constant mouse movement and the inability to just do something else while your scanning out a system.

Now auto scanning would be the best thing in the world. I'm however NOT suggesting it should be AS fast as normal scanning but that it should actually take much LONGER maybe 4 times as long as it would take an experienced scanner.

5 - 10 minutes per signature resolution would be a good time I think. Cloak up start auto scanning go watch a movie and come back. It would be no worse than auto piloting. although that does come with more risk's maybe you can't cloak while auto scanning... hmm... don't know if I like that idea but it would be a way of further balancing it against manual scanning. second the auto scanner could scan in order of the sig ID so using multiple scanners could not speed up the process.

Ideas, thoughts, Keep it constructive pleas.

PS: you could also make it so that it can't scan out moving objects so ships would be out. Also this could encourage more people to get into WH's although I don't like the idea of the competition.

I'm not talking about making it faster but less annoying why not make the game smoother if thing still are just as difficult... Why so dismissive? I could say lag is part of blob fights its comes with the territory get used to it. but I would never be so stupid as to say so.

I could have said You chose to live in WH's. Living in WH requires sharing bookmarks by can's. it comes with the territory.

DEAL WITH IT!

But again that would be a stupid thing to say.

I'm not talking about removing the need to probe or making it less time consumimg so your argument is based on a fallacy. I think the best compassion I could make is auto Piloting for traders.

NO I SAID IM NOT PLANNING ON MAKING IT FASTER YOU IDIOT. CAN YOU READ!

God I hate people who make an augment against an argment for something that someone isn't even proposing.

I suggested making it 4 times SLOWER to auto probe around 7 ~ 10 minutes per sig

That was the argument I was making, are you actually an idiot. I'm saying they made the change to make the operation easier learn to read between the lines.

Also they have significantly smoothed out lag in blob fights with time dilatation etc are you going to make that point next... really...

Ok, so you're now comparing probing to lag reduction and time dilation? Just what is the color of the sky in your universe?

They have all help in the smooth operation of EVE do you think auto Piloting should be removed from the game? because what I have suggested is simmlar to the kind of nerfs auto piloting has on it.

Increased risk by not being able to cloak while auto scanning and Increased time necessary to Scan down an object with also the foresight to stop abuse by making the auto scanner scan by the sig ID to stop people with multiple clients scanning a system out faster with 7 clients or so. and also said that you shouldn't be able to scan down ships with the auto scanner.

And I am Not suggesting removing manual probing in most cases I think people because of the nerfs would use manual scanning most of the time just like for auto piloting.

Well I punctuated by first post better than you punctuated your last post; but considering you didn't bother reading the first post fully why should I punctuate properly for you?

Tell me more about how you'd like to be able to scan out six systems simultaneously with your alts.

scanning is not ment to be easy it take practice, right now i can find the planet scan with 8 au probes get it to a point then use 4 au then 1 au then 0.25 au probes so its 4 scans per signature and that is only with 4 probes on it so with 8 probes i can do sigs in pairs and get a system done rather quickly. again i was not able to do that right away and soemtimes i have to redo probes but it is somethign i learned how to do. what you propose will negate any skill in scanning and simply require you to sit back watch a move and have a system done for you as long as it is posible for you to get a sig scanned down (scan strength wise).

as with the pos mod idea ccp did have those and then removed them

on another note id like to see that only covert ops cloak can be enguaged while using scna probes so you are forced to be in a covert ship if you want to hide while your probe

Another person amusing I can't can just... like saying because I used auto pilot that I cant jump from system to system without it. sometimes I just want to walk away when there a 40 sig's to scan. Its nothing to do with the ability scanning is easy but its fecking annoying.
