Forgive me if I am wrong. I was under the impression it already had an on/off menu. The top option in the scanning radial menu should toggle it. I'm at work so I cannot confirm.

It does but it shuts the reticles off. The reticles aren't the issue, but the circular scan action to reveal them that's causing some unpleasant vertigo like symptoms.

If the option is set to "Off" the scan sweep only occurs on undock/jumping once, it does not reoccur until you undock/jump again.

If it is set to "On" it will do a sweep that will pass through your visual range a few times a minute.

Every... Single.... Jump.... I know you are proud of your new feature but is it really necessary to make my screen flash every 20 seconds during a long trip? I've only been back in game about an hour and a half and I cringe every time I see this animation. I'll give you that I thought "this is neat" to myself as I left a station for the first time ans saw it. But seriously, it sucks.... I'd much prefer to see it when called upon.

Please give me a way to turn it off or better yet, make it go away unless I decide to do a manual scan. Thanks!

Why don't we just roll back every feature implemented in odyssey. It seems the only way to prevent this barrage of ridiculous posts incoming.

If you amend to this to say "roll back all graphical changes other than ship skins" it gets my vote.

Then I completely agree. I don't think they should completely remove it though. It could be toggle-able along with the reticles. The entire function could turn on and off to scan the system. If people that experience vertigo while seeing it do so because they are rotating around their ships while in combat, having it toggle would fix the issue. From experience, while scanning systems I am almost always stationary.

The loot spew mechanic for data/relic sites is annoying me now.

I'll be sure to post back in a few weeks to let you know it still annoys me.

It is not hard to separate this one in advance. You've been simplifying interfaces for months now to reduce needless clicking - and somehow this one is an improvement in gameplay?

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Do as I did ithe new awesome FLUFF that does crap, stay on F10 most of the time when you are not doing something critical.

Though the scanner is not too annoying for me, the new jump effect is (gets tiresome after the 10th jump to me).

F10 that crap to death. CCP being CCP.

Choices man, choices, never been against change, but choices give you flexibility, even if the choice is to blank out the new FLUFF.

You're exactly right. A good chunk of the Eve community suddenly turned into hypochondriacs overnight. Thank you Dr. Dark, for your astute observation. Now, if you would be so kind, the rafter and rope are in room seven.

I haven't logged in yet since patch day, looks like I will stress this for a while otherwise my tears will be harvested by CCP's UX team.

TBH man just fix it now. Its not going to become LESS annoying over time. Especially for people who don't give a crap about seeing signatures in space. For example now when I undock to fight some nerds I watch dozens of red dots show up all over the screen. It's a confusing mess considering the enemies are red dots too. Oh and now we have red circles if they shoot us. Its all just a big clutter. Tone it down.

Just make a button to turn it off.

Wait nevermind, realized I could turn off the overlay after I posted. This argument is just about the scan animation?.... **** it.

Overnight? Well yes, overnight about 10 years ago....

Thus you see the reason for letting it ride for a couple of weeks.

That gives the people using it time to figure out how it actually works (including those that haven't actually looked twice at it yet), or alternatively to get used to it (which most people will).

If the camera rotation before gate warp is unsettling people's stomachs, I'm guessing CCP could solve that by having ships always warp to the side of the gate that they're going to jump through.

That would have some interesting gameplay side effects, particularly re: bubbling gates, but that might not be a bad thing.

If you'll take a look at the poster's original comment, I think it's very clear that his intent was not in any way, shape, or form sarcasm. Actually, I am having trouble seeing how you inferred sarcasm yourself. Or were you just looking for a reason to insult the Uni? If so, carry on.

I'm not sick from it, I'm just annoyed by it. There are several valid reasons other than any motion sickness people are experiencing.

For me it's about a feature being shoved down my throat. I am not setting out to do exploration every single time I leave a station, nor am I setting out to do exploration every single time I jump. It's just the logical step that CCP should have taken in the first place. If you want to do exploration, you should have to hit an exploration button. If not... do nothing. It just makes a lot more sense than the current system.
