Wormholes

They are supposed to I think it scans every time the animation runs but because as you said there is no button you can never be sure that it is working properly.

But short answer is yes they do pop up on your scan every time the animation runs.

Thanks. I'm glad I asked. We were just assuming a new sig would show up automatically.

During Ops lastnight, our static EOL'd. The new static sig popped up on the scanner for me (no probes out) with no additional effort. My scanner 'filters' set to show everything with the show all anomolies check box cleared.

The auto-scan seems to run about every 30 seconds (I haven't timed it yet).

Perhaps they're improving the logic on it, but i've been crashing around a lot of systems in the last few days, and they still don't autopopulate for me.

Yesterday a corp ate was mining in the wh when I logged in. He had the system scanner open and mention that there were three sigs in system. However when I logged on there were four sigs in system.

We watched it a while and his system scanner never did show the fourth sig until he finally closed and reopened the scanner.

In our case the new sig was a K162.

My guess is that the scanner will rescan when a sig disappears but won't when a new sig appears. So if you existing wh pops, it will show the new one but it won't show a new incoming wh or a new sig site.

I'd love some confirmation of the behavior of the scanner.

Confirmed as well. There is still some bugginess if you scanned the system and ignored various signatures, sometimes the new ones won't pop up. But my toons who aren't scanning who ignore all of the sigs will see new ones pop instantly.

Svo.

it can be buggy at times. I change from my D scan back to my scan probe window and that seems to update it. Or just close the window and re open it. That seems to update it too. If you are talking about showing sigs out in space they will show up automatically.

I've reported the signature list not getting populated / refreshed properly as a bug to CCP, and they answered that it's a known issue but will be "looked at on a later iteration".

Meanwhile, I would NOT trust the signature list alone as a signature watch system, and will personally be sticking to the old way of having probes out when I need to keep hole control.

I used a stop watch. The scan automatically runs every 60 seconds if you have sensor overlay turned on.

Also, this feature sucks... so much for the element of surprise.

The auto-signature scanner is a disappointing feature from CCP and their developers.

Maybe if we all say it at the same time CCP might think about it and decide that they should change it. But that would almost be useful so I'm not counting on it.
