Ive been away for awhile, I come back to scan out some hidden belts for a friend. What did I find? I found I cant get a 100% lock on anything... Hell, I cant scan a damn thing now. Gravs & Radar sites & such have always been easy as pie to find, now I loose them at about 25%... alot like when I try scanning out a ship... (I have always sucked at scanning a ship), now I suck at scanning a grav site. WTF has CCP done?

any info would be grateful o/

filters are the same as before, sig sites only. I kinda figured CCP F-ed it up, like everything else here, THEY JUST CANT LEAVE IT ALONE!

Like I said, I suck at ship scanning, now they figured out how to make it so I suck at ALL scanning , PERIOD LOL Big smile

Dude, it's your filters. anything you scan to 25% or better that is identified by type will get filtered out unless you have them selected to scan for.

Its actually easier to scan stuff down now mate, just use 7 probes instead of 4

Also you can use the alt key to make all the probes move closer to the center one (alt + drag) which saves loads of re-arranging em :)

I appreciate the info, I've always been a 4 probe guy...( I am a white boy after all hehe) so I'm thinking it's just gonna be a change I'm gonna have to get used to Blink

Don't worry, people like him always seem to crop up out of nowhere to defend CCP and troll people with genuine critique for the game.

The problem was, before the server used the best of four (so if you knew what you were doing, only 4 were needed) and this cause problems for those using more than four.

Now it can use 8, and they all will have an effect. The best I've done was 5 with the new system, though no harder than a radar previously.
