I still prefer the old font and wantz it back!!!!111!!11!!11111!1!1!1!111!! !


But the scan animation is cool by me, and so is the new warp travel thingymabob. +1 on both counts.

Do you realize what if you would have added a simple option to enable/disable this feature, every one would have been happy?

No need to wait weeks, no forun bashing, no tears, no one to say your devs are stupids ...

Seems you are back to the "no more ship spinning" logic.

Im in favor of a OFF button, its getting annoying when alot of things popup and u move mouse over and you get a big box blocking the Sun brackets and any other brackets by the anomoly, its interfering.

Please put an option to turn it off.

Racial scan colors.

All you have to do is tint the texture some.

Also make the disabled feature persistent.

Adding in a simple button to run a system scan would be nice too just like the old system hate this automatic crap

Mr. Greyscale sir,

Why do the animations have to be so big, and so distinct? They are bigger than other meaningful objects in space, such as stations, asteroid belts, and planets. Also, the fact they are in space and generally have the same icons as stations imply they are warp-able objects.

Why do they have to be in color, when other meaningful objects in space, such as stations, asteroid belts, and planets can not be?

The animation lags my HD4000 graphics engine, and I have no way of turning it off, or dumbing the animations down. I am forced to play on a laptop, which is partly my fault as I don't have the means to provide myself with a better computer.

Please consider:

Adjusting the size of the the anomaly objects in space. Making the color boxes around them, less pronounced.
Ability to turn off the screen scan or improving it in such a way in that it isn't so pronounced, make it more subtle and less frequent.
Allow us to assign colors to other objects in space.

Thanks!

yep like CQ stupid devs of eve trying to push bullshet on us with out the option to turn it off =)

The fact the scanner comes on every jump and does that animation is annoying
I am flying to a trade hub to sell shet i do not want to see that stupid scanner shet every time I jump.
if i turn it off it needs to stay the fuk off until i turn it back on again






Ps: that nauseating jump animation needs an off button PRONTO!

I like it, I don't find it a bother at all. But when I logged on today and undocked, the scan kept scanning...and scanning and scanning. It wouldn't stop, then I docked...and it kept scanning..the noise...THE NOISE!!! It wouldn't stop even when docked.
lol.
It fixed then I restarted my client though.

All I've been doing since the update is running the miner I am trying to sell (might as well get some use out of him).

I have the scanner turned on all the time.

And you know what? Like everything else we humans deal with that is a repetitive pattern, the scan fades to the point where you don't even see it after a while. I truly have to check and see if it's turned on at times.

love the new scan effects....


I've found so much content that I'd normally overlook.


Plus I love the graphic it reminds me of Battlestar galactica dradis, and the effect is very light transparent so it's not overbearing anyhow, just looks really cool and the effect is really fast anyhow


also I noticed if you click warp right after jumping it cancels the effect anyhow, plus you can click the scanner and on the small radial menu put a X over scanner and it stops it.

Good for exploration.
Useless and annoying for anything else. ON/OFF please.

ccp lets hide our heads under the sand again just like with CQ, your new font still suck we just put up with it in hope that you will one day change it to something better or allow us to change the font size

my question is to ccp whoever, how hard would it be to code an off button that keeps it off?

I will still be disliking this feature in multiple weeks. Typically, when I jump a gate, I make my warp with the mouse. If something is chasing me that can catch me, I will want to warp as soon as I load the other side. When there's something on the sensor overlay where I want to warp, the tooltip for that pops up instead of anything warpable, and I might not be able to get out in time. Sure, I could get my mechanics to the point where I'm always warping from right click menu, but I don't feel it would be as quick and I would have to make guesses what a celestial is. CCP could fix this by adding in a simple "Initial sensor overlay on jump-in" check box in the options and fix all of this for me though!
