I live in WH space and do a lot of scanning. Todays patch seemed to have removed the names of my probes so I can't click on them to center my display on the probe. While this may seem minor, it speeds up scanning a ton. Hope this is resolved soon.

Also, the new labels on the bookmarks on the map are nice, but tend to get in the way when there are a lot of sites.

Agreed on the second point...they are getting in the way bigtime, as overheard from alliance mates at least.

Totally agree on both points. Need the probe names back so you can quickly center screen around a specific probe. And the ability to turn off bookmark labels. I thought that Map->Solar System Map->Show Hint would do it but it does not. I just hid all bookmarks for now so I can probe...

Woops!! My bad. I seem to have accidentally the system map. I'm going to attempt to fix this issue ASAP and get it out.


Hopefully the patch will be out tomorrow.

Yes indeed, scanning goes from worse to even more worse. I had to help the alliance on how to disable those damn "in the way" labels and I'm missing my probe names to center them on screen. I'm starting to hate scanning for the moment because I'm scrolling, flipping, tilting, lifting my screen in all directions to get it all center again.

If you want to keep those pesky labels, Put them BEHIND the probes and signatures and not covering them. In small wh space and having 20 BM's in there, it makes this pretty annoying to scan down on new signatures after DT!

Just give back that Hover function and the arrow (+ with star) indicating which BM is there and bring back Probe names and make Labels as an option please.

The patch was not deployed until after DT. It is available now. Try restarting the client and it should update the client. Should sort out the probe names and the bookmark hints refusing to go away.
