Maybe they did that because the alternative is repetetive, boring, un-fun and doesn't add anything to the game at all?

this can be said about doing combat sites, mining, gas harvesting, manufacturing, researching, mission running, exploration..... Agree on removing all this activities too?

If they'd remove the auto-popup the only change it would bring is that experienced WH residents get RSI from spamming D-Scan and probes all the time.

they (experienced WH residents) haven't got RSI for years of playing. You think they WILL get it after bad change is reverted? Lol

On one hand I like the new automatic scan, I like jumping into a new Wormhole and without having to put out probes have an idea of how long this system will take to scan, will i need backup etc.

Having to have a alt in a cov ops scanning for you while you did sites/gas/hauling etc was great. Many a great gank or fight was satretd by one side's scout sleeping on the job.

I wouldnt be heartbroken by any means if the scanner was shut off completely but I think a better solution would be along the lines of making new incoming K162 not show up for a bit. Allow the hunters at least some time to hunt before the cats out of the bag. Right now the only way you catch people off guard is when theyre literally paying no attention, or AFK.

Since Odyssey the amount of ganks/pvp weve been able to find has dmininished greatly, and I attribute a lot of that to our target's ability to know were watching them MUCH sooner. Its practically impossible to sneak up on people now.

Or maybe CCP should also give a warning to let you know mean people just entered your system, dont even req they look at the scan window sounds about in line with what theyve been doing.

We live in wh space for more than 3 years, maybe someone remembers our small group, maybe not.

Anyways, i scanned a wh system only twice since the last patch. Why you might ask?

Coz the new scanning system destroyed everything what was interesting in wh space, thats why.

It took away the Unknown, the suprise effect, the cloaky camping the tower for hours and wait for the right moment feeling,....

If CCP wants us to leave WH space, the new scanning system is the right tool for it, as it robbed everything out of wh space for what is was worth to leave in.

if you think that the discovery scanner has made WH space too easy to the point your considering leaving, maybe you should move up a class of WH, or several classes.

No thanks.

Small scale warfare is what interested me (us) the most, i can go to 0.0 space if i would want to be rap*d by 40+ t3s.

The discovery scanner is the single most worthless "feature" to be added to the game since "Walking in Space".

I get that CCP wanted to promote the whole concept of exploration. But all they did was spoon feed content to people.

The effect on wormhole space is hysterical.
