And name the tracking mode in the selected target window would help this issue as well. Un clicking it does not reset the current target at your target box location. |

Good addition. Instant 5 degree towards known locations is a good move as it saves pointless frustration.
Now all that remains to be fixed is an auto-toggle on the scan as well as eliminating some of the instant information and instead make D-scan track down ship sig radii and only reveal detailed info if the target is close enough/narrowed down enough (to put it in very generic and simple terms).
That should make small ships that much more happy. Or ninja miners. Or anyone else that wants true stealth. Assuming local intel gets murdered once and for all. |

Allow me to play devil's advocate and suggest this might make it considerably quicker for people hunting you on dscan to find you?
1. Scan 360 at full range 2. Select Target 3. Warp toward the bodies in that direction |

Ok, that is cool. It cranks up the pucker factor by an order of magnitude though for people like me that tend to hide more than lose..er fight.

Correct, the C key only toggles the tracking camera on off, the checkbox in the scanning window centers the tracking point. It will also temporarily enable tracking while it is set.

This is a wonderful addition to the "probe drop" method.
Did the overlay come back to the maps though?
Reason is this, when you use the D-Scanner at max range, you get a hit, then cut the range by halves for a "binary search" of the distance. This gives you a location to drop combat probes on a target and if they are not mashing D-Scan on a tight interval, and your scanning is fast, they won't know you got a warpable hit (of course, with rigs, implants, etc, you can use a "loose" formation and more looser the larger the ship) .
I recall seeing that the tactical overlay on the map was gone in a previous expansion, where it showed the distance rings in AU, and this would be quite helpful, but no access to an EvE client at the moment to check on this.
The method I described is not new, but there is a kind of "instinctive shooting" aspect to where to drop the probes. If you get it right, you can put combat probes in a loose formation for one scan and get a location, and they won't see a thing coming. I learned this from post by a top PVPer (King Rothgar actually) and thankfully not the hard way. Having tried it myself, it does work.
Thanks CCP. Now if only I could actually play well enough to kill a ship .

Am i the only one that thinks its slower? Maybe I'm just used to the old system.
Seems like once you get good at dragging the camera around and landing exactly only the belt/anom it's a lot faster than trying to click something.
Plus, once you click something else, the box on your own ship disappears.... so after your 5 deg scan fails it becomes harder to start your 15 deg scan or w/e
Just my thoughts.
