Umm, once you scan something down and bookmark it, you don't have to scan it down again, just warp to the bookmark

I hope they will just Make Whormole claimable, == put a POS = claim.

More WHs ?
Avatar prototype ?please


by your reasoning, WHs are claimable by putting up a POS... you just have to be able to hold it if someone else decides they like it more. And we don't need more WHs, there are plenty that are sitting with no one in them.

I know that Roll, however if for example you live in a wh with 20 active sigs, its very unlikely that you'd be clearing em all out in one day (or one week for what is worth). So, once you probe all bm all those sigs down it would be nice to be able to 'see' those which are still active after some time (say you log off,go for a roam, or what not) by just dropping a single DSP and getting a 100% on them (the already scanned ones). This way you would only need to scan out the new sigs, right now you have to re-scan all bookmarks in order to determine which once are active and which ones are not. And marking down signature names doesn't help as it resets after each DT. I don't live in wh anymore, but I know that when I did, the daily re-scanning routine wasn't all that fun Ugh.

What the hell, scaning sites that are already marked takes 20 mins tops, why not just add an active tag to the activated sites.

& A hole with 20 sigs in has way too many sigs.

You know whats wrong with mining. Solo miners, mack & retrievers which only mine the 10% rocks ,, in the same belt that your gang mining in. Other than that there's nothing wrong with it

that's not needed, just do a quick full probe launch scan, and any of them that are close to where the bookmarks are will be the old ones :)

The bookmarks do show in space on the scan window, after all, unless you have something strange in your settings down

Edit: you can tell they have no idea what they are doing as they will do the 10% Omber even, seemingly not realizing even the regular Scordite is worth more.

Meh. They usually just move on out here, and are never seen again (or maybe someone is ganking them ?).

I reserve ganking for Ice Bots.

I am such an anti-ganking person. I got ganked the other day just doing my thing .. i got so raged i quickly scanned system, found a wh & sitting there was a caracal waiting for a bit of action. Possibly scouting .. but anyhow he was there .. in space with full on fighting .. but no gankers have to exist just for sure annoyance.

Did you actually watch the video? They quite clearly said there would be graphical improvements.

E.g. a way to make the scanner strategic and automatic would be to allow the user to "optimize" for a certain size range and distance. Perhaps they come at a balance. You can extend your range and only see very large ships or that there are a large number of ships within some X amount of distance, but then you miss out on smaller hulls. Maybe you shorten up your range considerably to see all sizes of hulls but you only get a few thousand kilometers of range.




Just a btw: I believe we are discussing Core Scanner Exploration Probing and that aspect mentioned in the Odyssey ad and presentation, which can't even see ships.



EDIT: maybe a bit has been brought in about d-scan, but d-scanning ships has nothing to do at all with skills.


I was specifically referring to the point about 'being too lazy to d-scan'. For me it's not about laziness. Having to hit it every X seconds is the definition of tedium. It reminds me of Homer Simpson's job which apparently was hitting a button every X seconds. Any mechanic that can be done with one of those little birds that bops up and down continuously is a bad mechanic.



But one has to hit it constantly, as the 'situation in system' can change....constantly. There is no 'fix' for that reality.


That's why I was referring to making it something that you don't have to click on constantly -- i.e. automation -- but does require thinking.

I'm not much for ganking myself, but that's only because I have this odd preference to avoid losing ships if I can :P

graphical improvements don't mean that much to those of us who have to run them at minimums anyways due to system resource limitations (though that will be changing in a few more months when I finally upgrade my piece of ****, woot!)

Totally in the same boat as you .. although an actual graphics card to buy .. maybe a cheap 500 series would do as i have a feeling they may release dx12 next year .. eventually.
