Once it does its initial sweep it needs to add the in-space signatures to the list shown in System Scanner, even if you remove the "Analyze" button which is now redundant (except to populate the list that the auto-scan doesn't do)
It is not easy to see where the signatures are without flipping your camera around 360. |

In addition to signatures not staying at 100% once scanned down, the in-space overlay does not update as you scan the signature out - so you end up with an unknown signature in space that you warp to, and you end up some distance off of where it is shown in-space.
It should update to reflect the current scan strength as you scan it down with probes, and move accordingly so that when you warp to it you actually do go to that signature (like you do with 100% anomolies). |

I'm sure it's been said already, but I'm going to say it again... the new sensor overlay needs to show signatures and anomalies as if they are brackets - i.e. if they are not visible on screen you can see them at the edge of the screen so you know which way to rotate the camera.
I jumped around a few systems on SiSi this morning and just about heard that there were signatures in the system (the sound it makes when one is detected is barely audible :lolevehassound: ), but even after doing a couple of 360 sweeps with the camera (this is a bad user experience imo) I still missed a couple that were revealed once I'd dropped probes. |

Yes using DSPs this way is the only way for them to be useful, and its a creative way of using them. However, I think it's too far from the original conception of how scanning should work. People using only one probe and being able to divide in ten seconds by 4 or 5 the amount of signature they need to scan to find the right one... Sounds like a bit too OP to me. I'm with this guy.
I spend 99% of my time in wormholes, and scan for most of that time. It's never sat well with me that you could discard all but a handful of signatures in a system simply by dropping a DSP and referring to a lookup table (or memory given enough time).
This is probably an unpopular point of view because I can accept that there will be people who were reliant on signature sizes and finding needles in haystacks a lot faster than was ever intended, but if this change brings back some of the mystery in wormholes, even if it involves spending a little more time, then it'll be for the greater good imo. |
