Scan zooming using the scroll wheel does not respect the Invert Zoom Direction option from settings.

Regarding the new Dscan sound effect, now that the patch has been deployed;

I like the fact that I get a sound to acknowledge the game is actually scanning when I hit the 'V' hotkey.

I feel it is superfluous and annoying that the sound is triggered with every single refresh of the Dscan window such as jumping gates, or changing the distance and angle sliders.

Ideally for me, the sound would only be triggered via the hotkey or scan button.
However, if it is not possible to differentiate between an active scan refresh and just changing sliders/jumping gate, I suppose a viable solution would be adding an advanced audio option to disable the sound effect all together.

(copy/pasta from another "New Dscan Sound" thread)

No doubt this will fall on deaf ears but I will say my bit for my own peace.


The changes that have been made to fighters is an obvious Nerf to null sec ratting/sig running in carriers. Which really is a shame, its almost like CCP doesn't understand the game anymore. There is so much isk in this game and people have been playing for so long that its a natural progression to these ships. But when t2 fighters drop at an alarming rate it doesn't take long to realize you will lose isk every time you undock. I understand the pro players seem to think they can hotkey or some such, but I don't see it. I mean, they melt even while attacking (thus moving). The other fact is, people lose these ships everyday, keeping the market pumping, promoting sales of the items to fit, etc. The risk vs reward has been undone by changes CCP has made, not the threat from players. You literally don't need to fit any shield or armor to your carrier because you wont be touched after you launch drones.

The Chimera redesign is a travesty. Already a ugly ship it now looks like a submarine with this boxed back end and a fin running the top. Even from a design standpoint you wouldn't put an exposed piece like that on top of a ship. Shocked

The Roqual, okay i get it, people were hardcore mining, guilty myself. But that did wonders for that market in general and again dozens popped everyday. Also, you made a ship viable, that had a lot of risk with the cost and getting caught in core. Why such a heavy pass on the first go? Its not like your known for coming back through and correcting the other way. (anytime this decade anyway)

You want to grow the game and keep your current player base, but these changes directly nerfed null activities. You discount what our doctrine ships cost or the structures you want built all over and fueled, etc. Do any of you actually play the game? It costs billions to plant a flag in null and grow it and these changes are counter intuitive to that.

D-scan sound needs a seperate volume option, I actually play with sounds but D-scan sound is driving me insane (if I wasn't already).

I like the modernization of the UI, very slick... It will take a while to relearn muscle memory because the buttons got switched up, but other then that it's pretty ok.

CHANGE D-SCAN SOUND NOW PLIX ! :D

BWOAH
It's CCP! They don't even know how to undock from Jita 4-4!

The probe window opens everytime I go through a gate. If I close it, I would like it to stay closed until I am ready to use it.

It is an abomanation, a bastard of a change, a ****** of a patch, a **** of a map, and a wanker of a dev that did this!!!

Vertical lines background on solar map seems to be too bright on higher brightnes settings. And there is no option to turn that background off =(

1. Blue white is the wrong choice for the drone position high light, the color must contrast with the other sides of the cube.
2. The drone position cube froze while I was moving it in warp. I had to dock\undock to free it, what happens if I am in a wormhole without a dock?
3. The movement of the cube is jerky, it needs to be smooth and responsive. I would have been ganked over and over in low sec trying to use this.
4. The arrows could not be selected.

Here is an idea; take your testers off the powerful PCs they are using and put them on PCs from the last hardware rev with 21 inch monitors. Then give them an alpha account and let them try to survive in null sec/worm hole space while scanning for a week. Then have a day long meeting, with breaks, and listen to them.

Hi! My 50 cents: Overall GJ, but...
Sound
● F9 map atmospheric sound is terrible and gives headaches/aids/cancer or all three of them!
● Dscan activation sound is too profound and distracting (make it a short click instead)
● No click sound when I use a shortcut for 'refresh probe scan' (while there is a sound when I click it with mouse)
Overall I'd like to say about all the new sounds - thay are too 'stereo' and too high frequency - thus headaches!

Visual
● Dscan sphere/Probe bubbles are too bright (could be 3 times less bright, there is NO reason for them to be this bright)
● Half scanned yellow/orange signatures are too dim (try to scan down a drone)
Those two last issues have not been adressed since the first version of new scan! However, great job fixing things like: handles facing player, shape of Dscan cone, and scan results reset upon having a new signature!
Although it is unclear, why it takes a year for such simple things

P.S. Also a thing that I secretly dream about: Toggle disable icon stacking in the map.
P.P.S. Also yes, the Chimera is awful.
