Since this is probably more applicable to us w-space dwellers than anyone else in EVE, I thought I should post this here instead of the Features and Ideas forums for now.
Anyhow,
What I would like to know is what people would think of an auto-pilot like system for probe scanning, specifically you launch probes, set this auto-scan going and over time signatures will eventually be scanned down to a point where you can warp to them, or are able to manually probe them with 100% certainty of where they are, and then return a warpable result as normal.
The time needed for this auto-scan would be magnitudes longer than if you where to manually do it, and used more of a means to avoid time consuming and (frankly) boring work, IE exactly the same as auto-pilot.
Granted there are a lot of possible issues that would surround this, mainly the balancing that would be required, but for now lets ignore that and focus on if this is possibly something that is wanted, or just a means to be lazy and adds nothing to the game.
Thoughts?

+1 as long as this module functions like a Cyno and T2 Large bubble combined, and also decloaks anything within it's range. And takes longer than even the most autistic dead-weight mail-whoring new recruit.

Eh, ****** idea, fair enough.
Didn't think it was that bad though. Just meant it for core probes to ease the repetitiveness of scanning chains, nothing more.
Guess I was wrong.

This Module already exists, It's called 'new corp recruits'. and they should be made to do all the scanning until they get as bitter about scanning empty chains as i do.

Great Idea!
How about while it's scanning all them sigs down, you have to remain uncloaked, and in system for it to complete! |

ok im going to give an honest answer besides omfg gtfo (which i agree with btw). and.... thats all that needs to be said but..... here goes.
scanning is not just about finding all the sigs; it is about intel. scanners go out to find pvp, and get a general idea of what is in the chain. afk auto scanning is a middle finger to the content creation that scanning is actually all about. all this would do is allow lazy to be lazy. there is such a thing as a good/bad scanner.
also, any corp is using out of game tools that need updating like siggy. marking things in siggy, making bookmarks, updating/reporting intel is what scanning really is. If the scanner sees a pilot on his scanning journey or a lot of activity on d scan, it should be reported. my point being that this is an active/pilot engaged activity. Not something should be afk.
then we act on this intel! oh found blue-fire in our chain! awesome lets find their home and fight to the death! They should fight us! (IN CERBS LOL)These are the thoughts that intel driven scanning should be creating.
that being said maybe auto scanners will be sht and active scanners have the potential to be good. but i am not interested in policing crap like that. this will lead to so many garbage scanners mindlessly putting bookmarks and taking forever to do the work.

I wouldn't be completely against it as i don't find current system particularly fun. However, i would tie the ability to a high level skill.

My gut reaction is, NO!
But, then, with some caveats, it might help.
1) if it takes 10x longer to scan this way than the normal way, it's not so bad. Of course, people will set it going and then go watch a movie, but if they can't cloak while using this module, that's extra pew. Perhaps even put them on the overview!
2) it would bring larger NS/HS/LS groups (who can't be bothered to scan) to WH space, and that's extra pew.

Again, I was just thinking to lessen some of the monotony when scanning though WH chains, nothing more.
Sig strength and astrometrics skills still play there rolls; if you couldn't scan it before, you wouldn't scan with this. It would be exactly the same as if you scanned the system really slowly, just you don't have to pay the same attention to it.
People are probably right that it's just a means to be lazy. I just think it gets old really quickly when scanning one dead WH after another, where I could set this going, focus on another toon for 20 minutes, and then alt-tab back to finish the job.
I really just didn't think people would be this opposed to the idea.

I will accept this as long as it makes your ship unable to cloak, jump, shoot or even move; and the process takes significantly longer than doing it manually. |

Realy, you sudjest a methode that makes even less people be active in wormhole space . Where it already is hard to find people active . And you do not expect opposition to the proposal?
It is simpel, scanning has pilots active and in space. You can detect them by watching holes and looking for probes on d-scan. Seeing people active makes people active trying to catch them. And that is what would be lost by this proposal.
No local in null sec would fix everything!

This brings back the idea of the System Scanning Array and/or Mobile Scanning Unit... TBH I would love it! Also I need some mechanic to bring NPC under controll and make em doing the ISK grinding for me so I can concentrate on PvP. |

OMG I had no idea I needed to be working on my jump shot........while wearing a cloak......
but seriously, being lazy has ushered in no small number of human advancements over the centuries, so i would give you (OP) a pass on your motivation. Yet, I have to say PLEASE do NOT take this to Features and Ideas, because someone in CCP may accidently think this is a good idea and pass it on up the line.
