Day 2 -

I haven't had much chance to do any exploration as all the systems in my general area have been explored out but, I am on the fence about the loot bukkake. I know we were told that an average player would still be able to get the same amount of loot as with the old system because the total loot is supposedly doubled in the spew, but I am not a fan. I know this is because I am used to the old system, but still...

My NUMBER ONE annoyance is the scan overlay. I like it. I really really do. However, I want it ON DEMAND, not a constant scan at what seems to me to be random intervals.

On the new radial menu (which I kind of like and am getting used to) instead of the 12 o'clock position being "Show Sensor Overlay" change it to "Ping Sensor Overlay". Triggering it will show the overlay sweep. Then, once the sweep is done, have the old-style spread sheet pop up (could be an option set in an option menu somewhere). I'm in no way an "old" player (9 months in, I think) but I had gotten used to the spread sheet and having to pan the camera to find what I could find in the spread sheet is a slight annoyance. Only slight as I am sure I'll get used to it.

Overall, a nice update. I found zero bugs. I thought I'd hate the ice field thing, but I kind of like it as I have been able to find some uninhabited and my corp was able to get several loads of ice before others found the field.

Thanks for the 50,000 skill points. You didn't have to as the DDoS wasn't your fault and you guys did yeoman's work fixing the issue and keeping us informed via Facebook and Twitter. However, maybe consider putting the forums on a completely different server? Easier communication for the more hard core players.

The rigs for scanning: Small Emission Scope Sharpener do not add +10 to virus coherence. Just saying.

The new scanner is terrible. Which is kind of disappointing because based on the description I was looking forward to it more than any other change.

In no particular order:
* Getting to the old dscan menu now takes two clicks instead of one. None of the other HUD buttons behave this way.
* The sensor overlay doesn't respect being turned on/off -- even turned off it still scans the new system after a jump.
* Systems with a high population of anomalies are a mess, it's impossible to pick out the one you want in a timely fashion (in a context where every second counts!)
* You can use the "probe scanner" page to simulate the old scanning UI, but it's lost a ton of functionality -- the "ignore result" and "ignore other results" buttons are still there, but do absolutely nothing.
* You can no longer resize individual columns in the list of anomalies, which means that the only way to tell a Forsaken Hub from a Forsaken Hideaway is to stretch the whole window till it takes up half the screen.
* The "clear result" button works, but there is no "clear other results" button, and clearing results does not affect the anomalies you see in space, only on the spreadsheet list.
* I only tried this once, but warping to a FW acceleration gate with the sensor overlay on made it impossible to activate the gate -- the sensor result covered the acceleration gate's icon so you couldn't select it.

I'm also not a fan of the new undock button -- why move it and screw with years of muscle memory? Why not make it so you can drag and relocate it like every other Neocom element? Also, making a button that fills up and flashes as it gets closer to completing is not "removing progress bars." It's just making a garbage, less-precise progress bar.

The new jump effect was neat once, but I already wish I had a way to turn it off. Ditto for the pod death animation.

Hi there,

The Emission Scope Sharpener rig adds +10 Coherence to the Relic Analyzers, not the Data Analyzers so that might be the issue you are seeing.

The Memetic Algorithm Bank rig adds a +10 Coherence to the Data Analyzers but not the Relic Analyzers.

Note that both of these rigs do not affect the Civilian modules.

We are aware of the lack of clarity within their descriptions and that should be fixed soon.

Thanks again,
CCP RedDawn

I agree. The new hacking minigame forces the player to take up to 5 minutes to manually do what the analyzer module did by itself in a single cycle.

I hope this is not a trend coming. What other modules might we see turned into manual clicking minigames? Ewar? Will we have to now pull up a screen and manually fine tune a jammer frequency and signal type to exactly match the target ship in order to jam? What about firing guns? Do we get a World-of-Tanks-esque firing reticle we have to place on the target to hit it? How about cloaking? A minigame where we have to make sure the cloak is placed neatly and snugly around our ship so nobody can scan it down?

I foresee a large number of wormhole folks not even bothering to hit Radar or Mag site cans anymore, thus driving the prices of T3 components way way up.

If the reward for analyzing were in line with the amount of time and effort now required, it might (MIGHT) be worth it. Currently it's not.

2.5 day pause and u happy for 50k SP. Did you know how many peoples lost more SP than 50k, when they cant change skills ?
1day=24*2640= 63360 SP

So, 2.5 day pause is 158400SP

There are still NPCs in the Abbandoned Research Outposts in Drone Space

Almost same what i wrote before here

"This all Odyssey is a big joke. Almost full of nerf.
The Eve patches just ISK sink everywhere almost 3 years ago.
Tier1 Tier2 Battleship ISK increasing, ISK sink at anomalies with new frigs. PLEX manipulations with useless dual training.
Ridiculous BC prices, changed t3 BC sigs for another isk sink for easy bombing. Nerfed faction NPC spawning and loot drops.
Hurray we can buy new faction battlecrusers, which is almost same wich was the old nerfed BCs, but al least for 4x price values.
But atleast the CCP makes again overpowered amarr ships, mini bhaalgorn with t2 property for unbalancing the power relations.
T2 EW abilities for a t1 ship, but not for all t1 ship, just for only one. Megalol. This is the balance for CCP. Ridiculous."

Why even keep on complaining? They clearly dont give a rats ass.
