Yes... when you enter a system... you now have to "explore" to find out what's in it. GASP!

I've been scanning all morning.... not an issue yet finding sites.


Some people were complaining that the new scanner showed when sigs appear so it was harder to gank people in wormholes, but that scan seems to still work. What should have been a five minute scan of my system would have taken all morning because I don't have red spheres or deep space probes and my system is too big. If they give DSPs back fine, but a warning would be nice.



pinpoint formarion... 4au on planets... You must have like 75+ planets in your system.


Thank you for the tutorial. By all morning I meant before work. To be honest I hate scanning. I like selling piles of blue loot though. Have they fixed this yet? I didn't have enough time to figure out how it wasn't working, other than to see that I had a list of scan results but only 1 red dot.

This isn't what we're talking about.. we're not saying the red "easy mode" out in space isn't working. We're saying the fukin red dots in the MAP don't show up when scanning signatures.. Making it nearly impossible to scan down anything.



And that's not what I'm saying either.... I'm not talking about "hey... I'm in space and look over there... it's a blinky sig"... I'm talking about the "hey... I know my head from my azz and I'm in the map pinging signatures like a big boy/girl the way it USED to be".

Would be nice to see an update on the issue. MB roll back the patch?

There used to be a thingy called DSP. With it being gone i expect to see the sigs before i start randomly scanning.

do you dig that?

Wouldn't know much about the DSP's because I never found use for them... I could always ping up a sig because it didn't take more than 2 mins to find and ping it in any system. Ya... I dig... you need the wheels.

I'm sorry you had to waste so much time scanning unimportant sigs without DSP...

Practice makes perfect and is why I don't have issues scanning when things break in the game......... like......... you. Hmm.... Cherry picking FTL.

Worked on? It's close to perfect... don't put the training wheels back on :(

This is true. I have been scanning and its a little harder, like going from playschool to sesame street level on the scale of difficulty. I'm a scanning newbie so if I can do it I think anyone can.

The only real bug I have found is that when you enter a system (perhaps this only happens with after DT spawns) you don't get the list of sigs updated. But if you go back to Show All and then back to Cosmic Sigs they appear.

Preferably I think they shouldn't appear at all unless you do an initial scan but hey... people like easy mode

That not showing bug has been here since the Odd expansion.... but it's easy to bypass...just click on the checkbox for "show anoms" twice real quick and it displays them.

Your comment on 'it shouldn't show on entry" is exactly how it "use" to work. Exploration was much more rewarding for the explorers out there who spent the time to learn how to scan and do it rather than being spoon fed the signatures on entry. But it is what it is....

I wasn't around when you had to spend 9 years scanning down a signature, oldie.
