I have checked and played the SISI setup and have questions.

1. when probes are out I used to be able to highlight and keep highlighted several probes in the on board scanner window and then adjust all the highlighted probes the same as far as AU range

stetting or recall are concerned for example. now I have to highlight them each and every time to make an adjustment. how do I keep the selected ones high lighted now ?

2. how do i get all the probes to show at the same time without haveing to hold down the return key. makes it diffucult to adjust AU range as needed on different probes?

3. how do I sort the probes in the window according to au range setting. I often have the center probe of 7 at 64 au and the others at whatever I need to get the sigs. need to be able to sort the probes for easier adjustment.

4, how do I launch a 8th probe ? part of several patterns I like to use.

5. how or why can i not launch one probe ? I often do not need to advertise that i am scanning.also i often lauch one probe and set it out of DS range, and when i see ships or what ever i will launch 7 more and get a ship lock and the 1st probe is still scanning the whole system for new info. uncloaking more often is not good.

6. do the signal strength of sigs shown still correspond to the same sig strength we currently have?

7. how do i prevent them from starting in the center of the system ? kind of hard to keep the probes off of others directional scan with them starting in the center of the system.

8. can the probes be moved, spaced apart all at the same time by using ONE key and a mouse ? Shift key and alt key and mouse click to move the pattern in and out is a bit much. especially for those of us using programable mice do to old stiff hands and fingers. and why the swaping and mixing of shift, alt, etc from past use ?

9. how do I sort the scanned out sites by type, name, etc ? no columns to use.

10. when using the new sensor overlay scanner how can i get a list of anoms to show. haveing to "look" around the system to see what is there or to select a item to warp to is just time consuming and silly. the sites ID name often overlap each other and can not be read. also a good way to loose a ship getting locked while your selecting the right warp point......

11. can i get the new sensor scanner to work and show a list of items and get the sites shown on the window GONE to reduce clutter and make it easier to see what i need to see?

12. when you hold the mouse over a site you get a sound effect, does the sound patterns or effects coralate with the site types?

13. how do we get probes to be left in space and NOT recalled on docking, jumping gates, etc ? probes left in space are very useful to some of us.

14. what happens and what are the effects with our scanning implants that we are using and have spent isk on ?

15. has the scanning system quit remembering sites scanned to 100% ?

16 probes timers? do they last forever now ?

17. is the ignore results and clear results working correctly ?

18. so i now need to fill up ship slots with modules when they become avaiable to get max scan ability ? or am i missing something, do max skills give final effects with out the need of modules or are both needed? (also skill points learned and not being replaced is a rip off and just unfair)

19. sort of a different subject but what is ccp's goal or intention on making grav sites no longer needed to be scaned out.


thanks

Answered the ones I can:

1. Think this is bugged but unsure.
4. Don't believe its possible.
5. You can't currently.
6. Yes.
7. They always started in the centre IIRC
8. Think its bugged but unsure
9. Don't think its possible atm (Might be a bug?)
13. Not possibly currently.
14. I haven't seen any changes mentioned about implants so I assume they work the same,
15. I think so, bookmark before moving on. (Might be a bug)
17. Test it yourself?

There is a thread about probing already, you might get better luck in that.

1. Seems bugged
2. You can still adjust range of single probe in the list window. Note that it currently doesn't reflect the change, known issue according to existing thread.
4. You can't. 7 probes is the only number of probes.
5. You can still toss the probes out of dscan range as quickly as before.
7. They start at your location, only the probe pattern defaults to the sun. Easily checked by looking at your overview.
8. The 2 most common actions (moving all probes, gravitate all probes towards center) are now the easiest, a great change.
9. You can't, it's often requested so that might change
10. You can't, have to use your system scanner as usual to get a list. Will probably be changed too.
11. Not currently, might be worth posting in the correct thread.
13. I, too, hope they will change that behavior, might be worth posting in the correct thread.
14. They provide the same bonus as before.
15. Yes, seems like a bug.
16. At least there is no visual indication now
17. Seems to work, what seems to be the problem?
18. They don't take skill points away?
