Wormholes

i've observed quite the opposite. i've been able to 'find' a signature at 32au then drop down to 4au and it didn't move. got all 5 skills and 2 t2 pinpointing upgrades. use those instead of acquisition or even rangefinding

edit: also, they removed the '2dots' phase (it used to be a sphere, circle, 2 dots, 1 dot, depending if enough probes were hitting it)

Confirming. This is happening to me too. Several times a day in fact. I have yet to see a pattern though.

Yeah, I scan to much.

Confirm happened to me with my wh prober alt at least five times since patch launched.Getting red dot and then no result ,then turn back again to previus AU setup and get result then scale down the AU and no result.Thought it was brain farts and didnt give it attention

i only see one red dot
do you mean its the thing that gave you two diferent results in your scan?If that is the case then i only see ONE red dot not TWO like it used to be

Edit: IT IS A BUG since it used to be 2 red dots with a a lot of distance between (example : one above the planet one belowthe planet ) and you could SELECT them from your scan results and gamble 50% to set your probes in the red dot above the planet and win with your next scan or the red dot below the planet and loose.

There are no two red dots results selectable anymore so yup bug report bam wam thank you mam

So they eliminated the real dot and only left the "ghost" dot?

Useful.

Oh, wait, no it isn't.

If only three probes hit the signature, you're going to have two possible locations for the signature, because of Math. It's just like how you get a spherical shell if you hit it with one, or a circle if you hit it with two. Three gets you two possible locations.

I've also seen this as well. Someone should bug report it. You could probably reliably reproduce it if you fiddled with formations a little.

I started another thread about this, because i thought its related to the lack of the 2 dot result when only 3 probes hit a sig. I thought it was a bug, but even if its removal was intentional, the current code definitely shows the fake sig from that old code.

I have a virtue max skilled scanner with 202 sig strength, and using the -20% deviation mod i should not be having sigs disappear when centering on them and leaving probe radius the same as currently happens quite frequently in odyssey. Its gotten to the point where i actually increase radius from 4 to 8 au when i get a hit that looks full but is on the edge of my probe spheres.

I actually have much better results if its a partial one probe or two probe hit with the red circles, because at least those are not fake hits, and i never get missed hits on those. But with hits that look full on the edge of the spheres, it looks like the old 2 dot result, and i get complete misses from those all the time now.

Overall scanning is much easier, but this one bug/feature/whatever is maddening.

TDLR ; Partial probe hits with red circles are actually easier to scan and dont lead to complete misses unlike full hits on the edge of the spheres that behave exactly like the fake sig/real sig 2 dot combo prepatch.

What are the rest 4 ?

there are so many to choose from...

1. sigs automatically showing in results with no scan needed (dumbing down at its absolute peak)
2. rearanging probes being horribly painful.
3. probe always snapping to formations, not launching where your ship is (can't easily ID return wh sig)
4. probes relaunching at the same relative position to your ship
5. result off 3 probes being sh*t
6. icons being moved from top top middle of scanning window
7. scanning window frames not remembering their sizes

i could go on...

Please do. Preferably with screenshots.

WHY would that be intended? To only show the ghost sig but not the real one? This would be so stupid, I won't believe it until I see a dev post confirming it.
