The changes look great. I can't wait to test it on the test server. It definitely looks much better and readable than current (on the new"ish" version).

Thanks for looking at the feedback.

This looks more like a polish pass on the current new scanning system than what was assumed by many at the first announcement prior to o7 show.

Looks good, keep up the polish CCP. May our faith be restored.

Fantastic work, it really is heartening to see so many of the issues addressed in one hit. I just see one leftover issue that has always bugged me - the ability to center map rotation on a given probe result.

It's currently done by double clicking a probe result, but that should not be the only way. I'd like to see a menu command added to the right-click context menu (currently has the two Ignore Result commands) or, for bonus points, add a "center" button to each line in the list of signatures. That's probably overkill, I'd be happy with the Center command in the right-click popup menu.

Also, I hope CCP have conducted a "lessons learned" session on this. Why did the first attempt at a "new" scanner result in something with so many issues? How can that be avoided next time?

Are you fixing the filter for probe results as well? For example I get results for cruisers and other ships when only frigates are selected in the filter.

Please don't.

When you forced that new d-scan thing upon us, you banned me to a station, never to undock again until a fellow capsuleer found the off button and told me where it is.

I told you 70000 times that this underline thing makes all signatures unreadable because you still don't know which one is supposed to be which.

The current probe window has all the rows marked as green, un-scanned or orange-ish as half-scanned.

Anyone who is not a goon, pest, scared-little-bunny unbrave or any other blobb AFONE-member will turn off the anomalies with one click and start scanning.

Large red bubbles on the solar system map indicate small signatures and small red bubbles indicate the larger signatures.

This is not very complicated.

Large red bubble = harder to probe

Small red bubble = not very interesting or of any value


There is no need for 83783764 new icons that look like super mario gameboy icons if you paid a little attention in pre-school and learned reading letters.

(You are doing it right now)

The very reason to look on the solar system map in full-screen is to turn of the effects that will lower your performance.

There's a weird interaction with the probe scanner window and creating bookmarks that I previously opened a bug report about but it was "working as intended"

Right click, create bookmark from a scan result and then leave your cursor over the probe window
Start typing in the bookmark box which now has focus and if you try to enter numbers in the bookmark name like "C1", the probe window will change filters based on the number pressed even though the focus is in the text box because of where the mouse pointers is.

I understand wanting to allow the filtering to work but it should go by actual dialog box focus (bookmark box vs. probe window being clicked) rather than where your mouse is hovering...

NItpicky but annoying every time my signature list changes while typing in an unrelated window.

Would be good if even in the "window mode", the map window is in the background, so we can see what's in the orverview and dscan windows while probing.

Sounds good on the whole, sad that you are getting rid of clicking on the edge of the probe sphere - I liked that feature... Any chance of making it optional? Definitely glad to see that the probe directions will always take precedence over clicking on sigs - finally! That was by far the worst thing about the new interface.

Sounds promising, and I will need to try this new iteration, but upfront a couple of points

Where is the single click toggle for anomalies?

It's very important that this can be toggled easily and fast. Example, anomalies "on" before jumping into system, quickly dscan for prey, warp, if nothing found, switch "off" to start combat probing, and so forth. Also while roaming I constantly switching this on/off depending on situation.

Is probing fully functional even without the map?

I use to drop, position probes, close the map and combat scan on the fly in certain situations, e.g. warp-in points to special ships in big fights, where everybody is on grid.

Performance!
Partly because of the bad performance in combat scan situations, I'm not able to use the new scan window. With lots of sigs (scanning for structures) and other stuff in the scene together with this animated overlapping spheres I get very poor performance (<10 frames sometimes), where the old system runs smoothly
