I tried and failed to use it.
The old probe scanner had cubes I could click to move them around. I don't know what you did to them, but - I can barely see them. I'm not even sure there are cubes anymore -- I saw some very tiny arrows lost in the crowd somewhere. The old map presented all the information I needed without much ado and overly convoluted colour schemes. Red dots. Cyan cubes. Blue outlines. Perfection. This new map doesn't show me anything the old map didn't, yet somehow, it looks very cluttered.
- I can't click on these arrows if my life depended on them. I may not be an avid mouse user, I've always slightly struggled with pointing exact locations; but I've always managed quite easily to grab the old cubes and place them where I want them. (I already failed at clicking the arrows even in the old map but at least the cubes were big enough for me).
- When I click something, it's almost certainly "something else" than what I wanted to click. Background stuff, bookmarks, you name it I've clicked it. Why is the background clutter even clickable? What could I possibly want to do with it? Hover over to tell us what it is would be fine. If it really has to be selectable, maybe make it so only when the Alt key is pressed? The probes really ought to be the default here guys. When I click on/near a probe, that's what I want. Not planet VI asteroid belt III. Don't care. Just the probe.
- I think I liked the new DScanner - even though the Scan button is at the wrong side of the dialog. My DScan is at the left side of my screen. My Scan button used to be close- now it's not anymore. But that said, I think I could like it. However, having one checkbox for both "Try the new DScan and Probe window" means I can't get the new DScanner with the old probescanner. I really, *really* need the old probescanner for now.
I know what you're probably thinking. "does this guy even know how to scan?" Well actually, Yes he does. I've lived in a wormhole. I've scanned and hacked and combat scanned and all that jazz. Sites I could scan down in a minute (yea, a pro only takes 20 sec LOL) with the old map took me three minutes and a lot of frustration with the "previous new map". And with this "latest new map" I can't even do it anymore. After reverting to the oldschool scanner I had it in two scans and I was happy again.
In a nutshell: don't remove the old views just yet. I beg you. I'm not opposed to change and most of the bugs seem to be gone now; but without VISIBILITY and CLICKABILITY my scanning career is over. |
