Did we really need another nerf to solo pvp and scouting?
Changing a VITAL part of intelligence gathering to the point where it has reached near uselessness for the sake of "performance concerns" is extremely foolish.
If you want to have a game with perfect performance, you could simply remove all the players, weapons, and spaceships, and the dev's could roll around in shuttles checking out their cool little universe. Performance is NOT an excuse for a amputated game experience.
On top of that the actual implementation of the nerf is awful. No visible timer, a notification message that appears in the center of the screen...
Good work. Change it back, now please.

I wrote this for him, so...

Bullcrap you did : <
However, as any pvper of any sort of competence should be in full agreement, I guess we do share the same opinion. If this is the first step in changing the scanner in such a way as to not require spamming of the "Scan" button, or integrating it more fully into the system scanner arrangement then that's a good thing.
Unfortunately the current implementation is awful.

A CSM response would be appreciated.. if there has been one in the last 23 pages then I apologize, I looked but didn't see one.
Just a basic "Yes, we've acknowledged this issue and may discuss this with CCP"
Thanks, DB

"Hey guys!"
"Let's add a 2 second delay to scanning with an irritating pop up window that gets in the way and repeats over and over."
CCP: "Wow, good idea. IMPLEMENT NOAW"
Players: "..."

Now that this has been implemented I have seen a huge decrease in server lag.
Actually, not at all. The minute server load contributed by directional scan usage has not effected in the slightest anyone's gameplay. At the moment, the incredibly terrible 2 second delay, coupled with the central pop up message, and the fact that changing the angle of the scan counts as a rescan, all come together to form a big heap of steaming fail.
Was this actually tested? Did not a single developer understand the faults of this change?
I find that hard to believe. Instead I will fall back on my personal motto, blatantly stolen from Penny Arcade:
"We are being digested by an amoral universe"
Well done CCP, you have somehow managed to screw the pooch once again.
