Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The new scanning system is obviously a big improvement for casual scanning. But at the same time it's a big downgrade to all other use cases.

Here's the list of broken or missing things I could think off. I'm interested if CCP is going to address advanced prober's concerns or will continue to please only the casual players and dumb the game down.

1) Custom probe formations.
If I know better formations for my purposes than default ones I want to take advantage of them instantly. I don't like spending like a minute moving probes from default formation to mine, because it's not worthwhile in most cases. If you ask, saving just one last formation isn't enough, because there is more than one possible situation in EVE.

2) Leaving probes behind.
Probe autorecall isn't just a mindless thing that goes across EVE philosophy. It also doesn't allow to leave probes in a system and reconnect to them on return. For example I almost scanned somebody's safe spot but he cloaked. Then I'll leave the system and when I return I want my probes to be at the same place I left them so I can finish the search.

3) Probes appearing at the sun.
This is stupid because at the same time you see your probes around you in the overview and at the sun in the map. If I want to control two places in the system at the same time (two gates, station and iHub etc) I could launch 4 probes at each of them and form pyramids. Now I have to move all the probes all around the solar system then zoom in and finally form the pyramids.
