You dont spam system scanner. Yhere is something that you can leave it on and shows the sigs against the skybox. It doeas a 360 scan in less than a minute or half a minute... something like that.

Edit: Just tested, it takes less than 10 seconds for the thing to go around and you can't ingnore the sigs just for checking new ones....

Bob Artis, you will be missed.

yes, you can ignore the old sigs. You just have to do it manually.

With your brain.

I've been playing with the new scanning system on SISI for a few hours, running from null to empire and trying out stuff including the new scanning mods.

It's insanely easy to use. Insta-probe patterns auto-moved to the sun, no more Alt or Shift+mouse, and scans at under 3.5 seconds with a T2 acquisition array.

And no more Deep Space Probes.

That was something I was leery about at first, but I see the reasoning behind it. The new sensor overlay shows all sigs and anoms in a system, regardless of distance, and their approximate position. You can then click on an unknown sig and launch a preset pattern of 7 probes (default is 4AU though which is annoying), move and start scanning. It really is a LOT quicker. Plus no more switching of probes and having to wait the ten seconds.

It's still buggy on SISI, and you get dizzy having to look all around space for sigs. But the speed is incredible. I dropped into Kassigainen and was warping to a wormhole inside 20 seconds.

Stealth Bombers are going to have a fecking ball with the grav site changes. Especially in cluttered w-systems where the appearance of a new K162 sig might easily be overlooked, or where the sig appears perhaps above or below you, or behind you.

Meh, won't be any different than running anoms in Nul/Low. As long as you're smart enough to watch local it's simple as can be.

I can`t use something that I don`t have. Now, go away!

Oh, I'll go away.

Or will I?

It could be that I'm always there, watching you.

That's a nice ship you warped to your tower the other day.

Makes my little Bomber squad I've got logged off in your hole itching to go.

:P

You don't get into wormholes much, do you?
