Scanning should be with friends.

Hey guys.

CCP want us to work together. Why is scanning only limited to one person. Why are the results not shared with fleet members. All we would need (from a UI point of view) would be a check box to allow fleet members to see our scan results. This would mean that people can work together to scan ships down or scan a particularly large system with lots of signatures. I am not saying that the probes should be shared but only the progression towards results. Even only showing when they are completed would be fine that way you have to communicate which one you are scanning so that your fleet member doesn't waste time scanning the same one.

What you guys think?

+1 currently its easier to leapfrog scanners then to try and coordinate with another scanner

I don't really care as long as not all parts of exploration and not all the best paying parts of exploration ever go into forced group activities.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

problem identified: yup
feature/idea to solve problem: yup
solution realistic: yup
solution workable: I bl**dy hope so

+1

and I think it would be more appropriate that only 100% scanned sigs are shared - sigs less than 100% are 'I think it's about here.... ish..... maybe'

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

agreed there needs to be better management of identified signatures. Both individually and for use with a group. Corp bookmarks are not great for it.

Never forget.

Scanning solo would be exactly the same. Heck you could even do it with an alt and scan the system twice as fast. I am just sick of our entire fleet having to scan down the system before we can decide who is jumping where.

I already do relic/data as a group.
i sit in them cloaked and kill the people on the last can.
often they have run many sites previously

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85
