1. They are probes, not drones
2. Not all formations have a probe in the middle
3. Why stop here?


It is amazing how useless the players are in forums, all they can do it point scream and laugh.
Why even start, pick apart small errors? did you even read the sticky of this section? For real gtfo

It's amazing how useless players are in forums, they can't take any criticism on their bad ideas.

Why even start, and suggest poorly thought out ideas? Did you even consider that your suggestion doesn't work for people using 8 probes? Or that it doesn't affect scanning time at all? Or that you can use a perfectly legal script to press F1 for you as many times as you like if you really think it makes scanning easier (it doesn't). For real gtfo

Hmmm, how would it not work for people using 8 probes? The action is to click once to activate launcher and then click again to deactivate it. However it will deactivate on its own if the player has reached max deploy-able drones, or the launcher is empty. Simple existing mechanic with all launchers.

And of course it effects the time, again, try going into battle and having to launch one missile or projectile at a time.

There are just not enough sites to go around now (in highsec at least), CCP should add more...


If you are already so good at scanning what are you doing at high sec space?



I really don't like PVP

I wouldn't mind the auto fire function on the launcher. I am often mashing the hotkey to get all of my probes out while the first is doing an initial scan of the system.

To hit on the initial proposal that I think may be more helpful is to save a probe layout in space.

To add my own suggestion, I know theres already a few ways to change the probe range but if I could say Shift-MouseWheel while the cursor is over a probe to move the scan range for all the probes that would be nice as well.
