I tried my first go at scanning tonight.
Tried to scan down a basic cosmic anomaly.
Around 45 minutes later I'd gotten with around 0.112 au and I still couldn't warp to it so I gave up. lol
Wasn't much fun either really.

On one hand it's nice you're constantly doing something while probing.
On the other, my god it's frustrating.
If it stays like this it's a massive carebear buff too.

I've tried a couple more times, got the hang of the scanning system a little, but it's still taking me an average of 45-50 minutes to scan something down.
Even then, when I got within around 100,000km it's that buggy and badly labled on the scan window that I moved the wrong bubble and lost all my progress.
I don't know if I need better skills, but It's difficult to the degree of being unusable for the likes of me at least.

I don't think I'm that bad at it, my exploration skills consist entirely of Astrogeology III and nothing else. Was scanning down a signature with 5% strength from 27 au out.
So far though it looks like the dedicated salvaging mission profession is going to take a huge blow, or be killed.
Aswell as my own mini profession of scanning for abandoned drones.
Plus it was always interesting to see what the best abandoned ship was you might be able to find.
If the scanning system stays as it is I should be absolutely furious, but it's not final yet and I'm too demoralized to care, I said about 8 months ago they'll attack exploration as part of their operation carebear>subscriptions if enough people whined about people salvaging their mission or generally invading their privacy on an MMO.

Indeed I'll reserve full judgement when I can finally probe without ;
- Probe fields disapearing when active - Probes not showing on scan window when launched - Probes unresponsive and hanging in recovery mode - Probes getting stuck in warp
Plus several things I've probably not mentioned that make it all very fiddly work to make it do what you want.
