Edited by: 00sage00 on 05/10/2009 06:16:07 Apocrypha 1.0 and the updates that followed overhauled the probing system, simplifying it and making it more accessible to probers. But the improvements neglected the directional scanner, only one tab to the right from the probing system. The directional scanner should be radically overhauled as outlined here: Linky --

Only thing I dont agree with is the whole 30 second for 360, whats the first thing when any pvp'er, scout, carebear, pirate does when he jumps over a gate in lowsec/0.0, he scans for any hostiles and targets.
If you were to implement that, piracy will die, carebears will live..as fecking usual.
I agree with moving it a bit and making it look nicer, maybe fix it so you can see the scan radius of say 30¦, other than that. Its fine, aw and the whole AU - KM thing....

Lots of good ideas here. I like the d-scan on its own tab, but automatically updating it without the player spamming the key is attractive. I foresee CCP dreading the number of calls to the server that this would create and there should be some discussion of that, but largely in agreement with this.
I'd also make sure that filtering of results was possible, and that low strength results not be fully identified (an excellent point).
One other possible change to the system could be to give a visual of the ship's orientation on the d-scan tab and an arc indicating where the scan was being aimed. The arc would be sized according to the player's desire (through a drop down or by manual entry of the number of degrees), and could be grabbed with the mouse and manually aimed/rotated rather than tedious zoom out and back in after orienting.

Edited by: Commoner on 05/10/2009 19:54:42 Reading your proposal im quite confused, aligning and repositioning your scanner to point @ celestials isn't hard. Besides it's not the ship you have to align, its the camera, and holding down alt givs a nice crosshair. Is that what you mean by "aligning"?
I like you integration proposals though.

Interesting set of ideas. I'll tell you right now that auto-scan won't happen, for server load reasons, but the approach to integrating directional into the existing probing interface I like a lot. Supported.
