Definitely makes it a lot harder to scan down anything or even to check what's in system while warping around ...

My god. How can people intelligent enough to use computers do something as stupid as complain about a TWO SECOND wait that was introduced not for any opinion of balance but to address server issues!? You should all be ashamed of yourselves!
This is a COUNTER-SUPPORT post 
You have obviously never used your scanner, or at least not in an efficient way like most pvp'ers do.
I think we are all aware that CCP is making efforts to improve the servers and noone is blaming them for that. What we're all saying here is that this 2 seconds delay is just way too much and badly screws up the directional scanner. Several solutions have been suggested, hopefully CCP will reconsider this.

I hate the delay - but am slowly adapting to it.
The most annoying thing is the damn pop-up right in the middle of the screen - if that could be replaced with the button being greyed out with a timer like that of the probe scanning mechanic then the two second delay may become bearable.
Perhaps instead of this implementation there could be another? Something like a computer processor percentage bar for your scanner?
Like overloading modules - if you overuse the scanner (i.e. constantly spam it for too long while say ... idk... macro mining in a belt) it renders it unuseable for a long period of time (30/40seconds maybe even a minute.... maybe you even have to dock up and repair it or have some nanite paste handy).
It could have a quick cool down period if you haven't overloaded the scanner cpu unit but a long one if you have.
This could potentially allow a scout warping around to use the scanner quickly for a while until the pilot leaves warp and has to start actually piloting his ship - clicking buttons other than the scan button - allowing it to cool down.
With this in place an active miner in a belt (who isn't macro mining and actually watching local) can use the scanner in the same way as a scout to avoid being caught. However, a macro would not be able to constantly spam the scanner without actually breaking it.
Encourages active play from both hunter and gatherer - penalizes macro players.
Thoughts?
Hey, I like the idea :). Although i think the pre-patch scanner system was just fine, i trust CCP if they're saying that the scanner has to be changed in order to improve the performance, and your suggestion is a good solution to that, plus it adds an interesting dimension to the scanning, without completely screwing it up like it is now.
Let's hope CCP will even read this :)
