100% they need to keep DSP's, they're useful in so many ways and of course CCP being CCP, removes features without a second thought to how it impacts peoples game play.

Also chand you should make a thread in test server feed back, since this is already on the test server as such.

Just a free bump to let you all know that CCP SoniClover has basically decided to disregard most of these issues in favor of the new toy they've spent so much time on. Thanks for coming out, no one cares.

+100000 CCP, do not remove Deep Space Probes.

who runs the show over there at CCP now? some blizzard dev or something? whats up? honestly you currently have an awesome scanning system. no one was complaining. why this 'overhaul'? what sourced this decision to trash a nearly perfect probing system? all we wanted was user defined launch patterns. thats it.

please do not remove DSP from the game.

Never used them... however. wont the new scanning methods make them a bit useless after odessy?

I may have been told white lies, but are the new sigs that show up to be colour coded? so you know what they are. so tracking changes wont be that difficult. (core scanner probs)
and was there not a way to set probe formations to make launching combat probs must faster and economical...? whether this is true i do not know. I vaguely remember someone mentioning it to me or maybe it was an idea.

If by the new methods you mean the overlay, then kind of yes but not really. The overlay shows in space, which causes you to rubberneck around to find them. Also it only shows in space not in solar system map which is where 99% of scanning takes place. They aren't really color coded, other then between Sigs and Anomolies.

Being able to set formations was never possible. Which in all honesty is what they should have done, but instead CCP is setting default completely optimized formations.

Unfortunately it seems CCP doesn't give a crap about this.

Maybe you should all go shoot at a statue, or something ;)

Adapt or die I suppose.

+1 to save Deep Space probes, It's a tool that is being used by both pvp and pve players , people invested time and skills into this, why remove it when it furfills the purpose...

I got a mass email informing me of this post! So here are my 2 cents:

A knee Jerk reaction to any change that affects the status quo is not the way to go about this.
Take some time to get the feel of the new system. Devs have worked hard on this conceptually and with the feedback and guidance of the player council, the members of whom you voted for. It deserves your attention, before impulsively responding to the change. Afterall, impulsive whining about CCPs careless implenentation of the grand plan derailed Eve into the 'small changes to everything' response from which we all now feel the the affects. A measured, and considered communication with CCP devs is better than mass hyping a negative attack through emailing everyone to join a forum whinge-athon.
