I see something on sensors, unidentified vessel nearing our grid.

Enabling active shield hardeners, launching drones. Fleet stand by to deliver that welcome basket....

(Now doesn't that sound better and more interesting than: Hey look, some neut just showed up in local!)

Captain, I canna break da laws of physics!

This would be more fun, just thinking how EVE probably meant to be.

This is the third "lets add sonar to eve" topic in the last three months, and I agree with all of them.

Awesome, thank you.

I started this thread back in May, and it has evolved and grown to it's current form.

(The OP and post number 4 together are the current version of the idea)

It would mean an opportunity to make more effort for better results in game for those that wanted it.

I have an issue with it being called sonar because of what that actually is but the concept Nik has suggested I certainly can get behind.

True, actual sonar is soundwave centric, which obviously won't exist in the vacuum of space.
I think the basic idea we can both agree was meant to be about how it is used in general.

Well duh!

It sounds like you are playing a spaceship game when you talk about sensors and unidentified vessels.

The welcome basket part, I dunno there....

+1 & bump.
Love the idea, and it adds value to the scanning skills as depth to a character rather than a probing alt or plex running tengu only.

Thank you gentlemen for the bumps and endorsement!

What? No basket? A little wine, some cheese, a single unit of tritanium... traditional item!

+1, has my endorsement.
Would give more meaning to the sensor strength value and modules like backup arrays and sensor boosters.

Agreed, obviously by me.

I can't help thinking this is what EVE is capable of, and deserves.

Someone spilled coffee on the bump collection.

They are now small and brownish....

Question of the day:

What is more useful to know?
In this question, you already know the target in question is not blue to you. If it was blue, you would be given the pilot's ID thanks to their IFF automatically.

Would you rather know the Pilot's name,

OR

Would you rather know what class of ship being flown?

There've been discussions about this for a while. The first time I remember, we actually had CCP Cascade responding a bit: http://eve-search.com/thread/1567644-0

I love the idea of combining the Overview, D-Scan, Local, and Tactical Overlay into a proper intel system rather than the current four independent systems. I had some ideas in the previous thread that suggested linking scanning capabilities to system security so a Marauder's sensors in a 1.0 system would be more effective than the best Covert Ops fit in a C6.

Other fun things started popping up like signal spoofers or false positives and negatives, but that should be left until the system has a solid base.
