Was originally posted in Science and Industry then I was told to leave by people (yet not told where to go, surprise).

This new probing mechanism sucks. For many reasons.

If you know me in game I have a reputation for being an expert scout and combat prober. Unfortunately with the new update, I've been handicapped.

1. 8 probes is way too many for me. I only use 4. 8 probes clutters my solar system map and I'm stuck grabbing the edges of probes when I just want to select a planet or a hostile I'm probing out. If you're going to make it so we can resize all the probes, have a slider somewhere or give me one thing to grab, not 8 overlapping circles.

2. Even though I only use 4, it is impossible to just use 4. I'm glad I don't have to launch 1 probe at a time. But REloading 4 probes and launching them now takes about a minute. I can't just launch 4 probes because then it takes forever to move them around into my old configuration.

3. Cosmic anomalies that display on your solar system backdrop have HUGE diamond shaped icons that clutter my view. I want to dscan through these anomalies for hostiles but I can't click anywhere in space in some systems because I keep accidentally clicking on the anomalies. I'm forced to go dscan in my solar system map. But when I do that, I CAN'T WARP TO THE ANOMALIES FROM THE SOLAR SYSTEM MAP by right clicking the green dots. I have to close my map and find it in my probe scanner window or out in space spinning my camera around my ship.

4. I would love to probe out that wormhole/cosmic signature but its really hard when I can't IGNORE any of the results. I'm glad there are havens and sanctums in my systems. Really, I am. But I want to be able to ignore those results when I'm trying to probe down a complex/wormhole/enemy ship. The right click>Ignore Results does not work, at least not in my client (And a few other corp members who also tried it).

5. I also would love to be able to resize those columns in the probe scanner window instead of having to drag the entire window out to cover my screen. Distance column is way too wide and the fonts are huge. Also, the row heights are way too big. Both on the probe list and the results list.

That all was on SISI for month and more, so CCP deployed already known broken update to TQ, what to say, shame on u CCP.

The question is why they need SISI at all when they do that again and again, already reported, broken stuff from SISI migrate to "stable" TQ server.
