Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The new scanner is a pain to use. All the interface controls have been changed which I don't like. The probes pull wonky in the solar system map. Now when I push the alt key my mouse wheel changes the size of the scanning area instead of it allowing me to zoom in and out like it was. Switch the alt and control keys back to the way they where. Every thing in the solar system map is hard to see. The probe boxes are dark and the red dot for sigs is dark and too small. A better choice of lighting than the sun of the system would have been good.

Please delete the changes and lets go back to old and working one. You have kept trying to make it better and it keeps going worse and worse. Stop it please before its too late to fix.

Dr. Evil air quoted: "Constructive feedback"

Please bring back the checkbox to filter anomalies on the top of the probe window.
Please bring back the checkbox to turn off filtering on the top of the Dscan window.

Grrr bad new probing UID Grrr bad new Dscan UI
Grrr CCP
Grrr

I would love for pinpoint formations to snap to selected returns.

I like he new probe map mostly, just a few things that need fixing.

First, there seems to be a bug that prevents the movement sliders for your probes from rendering (you can force the render by hitting either shift/ctrl/alt, so at least there's a work around).

I'd like to have a way to hide the dscan sphere in the probe map, or at least change the sphere's color. The red wire frame makes it difficult for me to see signature dots, it is very distracting.

Other than that, I really like it.

Yesterday, probe scanning was okay. I gave it a shot, and found it frustrating ... but stuck with it for a whole session. Yeah, by the end of the session, it was still only okay.

Today, looks like improvements were made. I'm happy with it! Good job. Some of the "bugs" were "fixed" ... it is more usable now. I don't care that there might be an extra click or two for settings changes. Typically, if I go to do something, I set it once and forget it, until the next session. If I'm switching settings constantly, I'm doing something wrong (Settings, configuration, overview, or whatever). What is nice is that the layout is more logical and functional, not to mention cleaner IMO; I can configure the interface just how I want to now. If I have to switch between tasks, a few simple clicks gives me what I need (After initial configuration).

Complaints:
-
*****
If I have the map aligned to the ship camera, panning around the probing map doesn't work well as the camera always snaps back to center. Automatically decoupling the camera from the ship would be nice (For panning while a map is open) , while keeping the orientation would be handy.
*****

-Pressing a key (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, whatever) to bring up the probe movement arrows is a pain.

-If the probe group is centered on a celestial, grabbing/moving the probe group is a pain without finding a clear arrow. Same complaint as Nick Kirk, I think.


Overall it is nice. Probe scanning and the new map are getting better (Beta!!!), but still feels a bit clunky compared to the old map. Not sure how to quantify it. This latest attempt is the best yet. I'll give it a try for a few more sessions to see if I can adjust. So far, I like it.

every time I try and grab center mass it does nothing
we need a option to turn off selecting probes.


you have to understand the guys with skills use the precluster formation ALL THE TIME. and we can't move the probes as ones with out having to pre move them side to side
and the box is never selectable till after you move the probes with the arrows


fix this please


do some thing

im turning this off again

There is an option to remove the probes from the view......

This and give moving probes the priority when mousing over them and other icons on the map. Background does need to altered as many have asked. That said, hardly enough to throw out this system because it's not perfect. It's new. Guess what, most new things have bugs. You can turn it off. Be glad for that. That RARELY ever happens. Usually, CCP does toss the old system when introducing a new one. Deep breaths, guys, think happy thoughts.

Maybe you guys need a distraction? Hey, look...look at the kitty...

Also, if CCP ever needs ideas for replacing the loading screen on client start-up (or any loading screen, for that matter), put that in.
