Hello!
Can you please implement probe scan history per system for scanned signatures.
This would make everyone's life easy and no-need for using 3rd party apps souch as EVE-PLH for this.

I'm not all to keen on exploration, what exactly are you asking for?

So you would rather completely disregard all the work the coders of those third party programs put into them, just because?

This is a great idea. Please do remember the last scanned state of all signatures.

That would be detrimental to the health of the exploration career, it is already in bad shape don't ask for things to make it worse.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Somehow I don't see remembering what a sig is, that you have already scanned down yourself, as being detrimental to anyone. Can you please show how that would be detrimental to anyone?

Eve being Eve - yes. It's not 'just because'. Security being what it is and the sensitivity of scanned chains and what not - being forced to use 3rd party programs to manage this information is kind of.... not good. I'm not a coder, so writing my own isn't an option.

There were quite a few in house mapping tools that all got flushed when the IGB went away. The one my corp used for example. A great deal of functionality was lost for WH folk. We're adapting and 3rd party programs are just now starting to not suck too bad, but there are some things that were automatic w/ the IGB that just can't be in OGB

That being said, remembering scanned data would be great. Being able to check a 'share with corp' box would be great also.

It won't break anything. This is an actual good idea. I don't begrudge 3rd party programmers making some isk off of their out of game skills, but the removal of the IGB was a real kick in the goji berries for a lot of wh corps. CCP giving a little back would be nice to see. I don't think caching the data would be a major undertaking - if I'm wrong, please spell it out in little words.

He's asking for the scan window to remember sig info after session changes.

For example right now if I scan down a whole system, I must bookmark each sig (and potentially include complex naming schemes) in order to come back to them later (or even know what they are).

If I exit system, dock up, change ships, the scanning window reverts everything back to they way you saw it initially. It's more of a PITA than anything else, since you have to constant be keeping lists and sorting/naming bookmarks all the time.

Whether or not OP is asking for sig strengths to stay the same, I don't know.

I could get behind something that stored fully scanned sites per player, per system.

If you want to share it, bookmarks or copy paste to an OGB. The current system is dated (specially with the lore of EVE) and really could use an update.

My question? Where would the info be stored and access led from server or client? I would go client (like storing chat logs) so they client would keep read/write files on a per system file, if that is even doable.
