•The probe control box is news paper for ants size.
•Scan result that changes the red sphere is not correct most of the time.
•Cannot skip a scan level due to the above
•Probe control box seems to have the lowest priority over everything else, even the center probe, making moving the focal point via box instead of arrows a real pain the ass.
•It uses that beta map.
•Did I mention it uses that beta map?
•Can't use old map for QUICK, RESPONSIVE, and INFORMATIVE scanning.



Love the condensed probe window though.

I agree completly ... from someone that was expert at scanning i have been basically reduced to pre tuturial scrub.

I can launch probes from scanner ... and this where my "journey" and "exploration" ends.

YES after 3 years of exploring i can't do anything past launching probes ... GJ CCP

Edit also yeah i want to mention how i hate new MAP aswell ... yes i DO HATE IT.

Also, hotkeys for zooming in and out are not working for me. I've had them set for Mouse 4 and Mouse 5 for zooming in and out, even changed it to something on my keyboard. The mouse wheel still works, but due to a lot of travel for work, i've been through 4 mice because of the wheel. I gave up and changed to hot keys.

I'm having issues as well, it was hard for me to actually "see" the icons as I was scanning it down. After playing with it, I figured out if I turn up my brightness and contrast settings on my monitors I can see it clearly....... but then everything else is cartoonishly bright. Siggy menu looks like it's backlit with flashlights, gas cloulds are painfully bright.... the realism is gone........

Any chance we can get that contrast back? I liked having high shade settings.

perhaps a color adjustment option?

old map screen and probe interface + red cone/sphere for dscan range and angle = major space boner.

I mostly like it, however there are a lot of quirks that need ironing out - things that weren't quirks in the old and just-fine-working system. For instance you now need to go into a drop-down menu to un-ignore sigs. This can lose you valuable seconds when doing things like combat scanning. There's so much to pick on, I made an entire post about the new d-scan, probe scanner and new map.

Why CCP?

Why you hire stupid UX designer? It is so simple to understand that if you underline anomalies with line in the list of these anomalies user will have a lot of problems with recognition status. I need time to understand the red line...it is for anomaly on the top or on the bottom...hm...let see on the first in the list.... Why you change the place of the scan button? Gamers during years clicked there. But not, you changed it. Why?

If your designer cant solve the problem please share with him www.dribbble.com, www.benahce.net or pinterrest. He can find nice solutions for User Interface there. MAN, use tabs in your future design!!! It is so native for players, gamers...humans!!! US!

You fixed a lot. Cool. But you forgot to divide button "reconnect to lost probes" and "destory active probes".

P.S. Hire me, I have more than 5y exp in UI/UX design. Straight
