first off, learn how to link images from sites like imageshack.
Secondly, all you're saying is that the ships that were unprobable last patch would still be unprobable if the mechanics were unchanged. And all that is known regarding probing ships in incarna is that the mechanics have changed.
The publicly known method they've nerfed it to is through a cap. Basically saying that you can never get the ratio below 1.1 even if the sig radius and strength would imply much less. Parrots, commence!

Exactly. It's capped at 1.14, to be precise.

If only there was this one change in incarna, sadly Scanning got NERFED. what you could scan down with 4 probes now requires 6 for SAME result.

Edited by: Furb Killer on 02/07/2011 15:38:18 Considering that getting 6 probes is a few hours of training, and most people can use more probes, it actually got boosted. (well granted you need to launch a few more probes, but due to alt-dragging probes repositioning them after the first time doesnt cost more time).

5 probes does it fine. I've always used 5 probes, I continue to use 5 probes and I have scanned out "unprobable" ships since the patch with 5 probes.

People still use imageshack even though it forcibly redirects you to sights that try to get you to load malware and force you to completely shut down your browser (or completely and utterly disable all scripting/controls/what-have-you) just to get away from the page?

never said imageshack was desirable int he first place, but if he must use it, atleast link the images rather than their bloatpages. =(

I find that insanely unlikely. Mostly because you'd have to redesign near enough everything to get it that way, including distance it from anything remotely logical. Which in turn would render the "fix" they actually did implement - the cap - not only bulky and stupid, but much heavier workloadwise than just having the new system not allow anything unprobable. Parrots, commence!

Ummm... this is CCP we're talking about.

Incarna Patch Notes
Quote: Scanning
- It is no longer possible to set up a ship to be impervious to scanning while uncloaked. - All probes can now contribute to a scan result, as opposed to the previous limit of four.

a mach can snipe around a gate without needing to be unprobable, its fast as hell and agile as a cruiser it does fine with a good setup as it is.

Way to nerf something by .04; and look at all the tears. I can imagine if they nerfed something by .2 people would emo cut themselves all day over that.

You must not know how to probe, I still get 100% hits on ships with 4 probes just as fast and easy as I did before the patch.

Absolutely, but the step from making a fifth or sixth probe add to the result to making it required is HUGE. If you have 4 points with known distances to a certain unknown you can ALWAYS find the position of it(assuming you have infinite precision in the distances and none of the points locations are at the same place), but it could very well be helpful to have more knowns. Parrots, commence!

Never said you did. My response was more of a sarcastic off-side comment against the idiots that use that site even though it redirects you to ad sites that try to trap you on the page until you agree to download their anti-viral/malware/spyware product that conveniently just told you your PC was infected.
I find it laughably stupid that even though, so far as I can tell, Photo Bucket doesn't pull that crap and even provides links for direct linking of photos it's used in maybe 1% of image links I see while ImageCrap is used in 99% despite the fact that at best it's run by people too stupid to properly vet their ads.
/shrugs. Yeah, it's a sore spot. Been one ever since someone on GameFAQs provided a non-direct image link to ImageShack and upon clicking it the site then redirected me to one of those "herp a derp, your PC is infekTED!!!!" web-sites. Given that I then had to pretty much shut down everything from scripting to controls to get out of the page without terminating the browser processes it was an incredibly stupid amount of hassle for a single picture.

Doesn't do a bit of good for IE. 
It also doesn't fix the problem. It's like "cold medication" in that respect.
