There's a bug report in on the breaking of the target box memory.
Scans are independent of camera angle with this feature enabled correct or is scan still linked to camera angle? |

The checkbox temporarily toggles the tracking point to the center of your ship, thus allowing the directional scanner to function correctly. The scanner works the same as before, but the camera automatically points directly at the target.

Wording of the check box needs to reflect this please. It will confuse people if you do not. And name the tracking mode in the selected target window would help this issue as well.
Un clicking it does not reset the current target at your target box location. |

Good addition. Instant 5 degree towards known locations is a good move as it saves pointless frustration.
Now all that remains to be fixed is an auto-toggle on the scan as well as eliminating some of the instant information and instead make D-scan track down ship sig radii and only reveal detailed info if the target is close enough/narrowed down enough (to put it in very generic and simple terms).
That should make small ships that much more happy. Or ninja miners. Or anyone else that wants true stealth. Assuming local intel gets murdered once and for all. |

Allow me to play devil's advocate and suggest this might make it considerably quicker for people hunting you on dscan to find you?
1. Scan 360 at full range
2. Select Target
3. Warp toward the bodies in that direction |

Ok, that is cool. It cranks up the pucker factor by an order of magnitude though for people like me that tend to hide more than lose..er fight. I'm going to have to speed up my PI transfers or get caught on the POCO.

Correct, the C key only toggles the tracking camera on off, the checkbox in the scanning window centers the tracking point. It will also temporarily enable tracking while it is set.

This is a wonderful addition to the "probe drop" method.
Did the overlay come back to the maps though?
Reason is this, when you use the D-Scanner at max range, you get a hit, then cut the range by halves for a "binary search" of the distance. This gives you a location to drop combat probes on a target and if they are not mashing D-Scan on a tight interval, and your scanning is fast, they won't know you got a warpable hit (of course, with rigs, implants, etc, you can use a "loose" formation and more looser the larger the ship) .
I recall seeing that the tactical overlay on the map was gone in a previous expansion, where it showed the distance rings in AU, and this would be quite helpful, but no access to an EvE client at the moment to check on this.
The method I described is not new, but there is a kind of "instinctive shooting" aspect to where to drop the probes. If you get it right, you can put combat probes in a loose formation for one scan and get a location, and they won't see a thing coming. I learned this from post by a top PVPer (King Rothgar actually) and thankfully not the hard way. Having tried it myself, it does work.
Thanks CCP. Now if only I could actually play well enough to kill a ship  .

Am i the only one that thinks its slower? Maybe I'm just used to the old system.
Seems like once you get good at dragging the camera around and landing exactly only the belt/anom it's a lot faster than trying to click something.
Plus, once you click something else, the box on your own ship disappears.... so after your 5 deg scan fails it becomes harder to start your 15 deg scan or w/e
Just my thoughts.

Tomorrows hotfix will add support for camera center offset, i.e. for players playing with ship not in the center of screen, and should return your ship to your chosen location once tracking is disengaged. I also fixed a fault in the "target locking" ignore code which disabled automatic target switching if you had no shortcut mapped to target locking.

Have you tried if checking the "Tracking" checkbox in the dscan window (under "Use active overview settings") suits your needs?
Edit: Oh, you mean so that functionally it is as (good as) it is now, but it keeps the target where you want it to be visually (for aesthetic reasons)? |

Thanks so much for this! The scanner has recently taken a turn for the worse since, at some point, it started to limit each of your scans even while 'drilling' down the angles so you were severely limited in how quickly you could find someone.
This change doesn't fix 'that' but does something so much better. Perhaps removing skill from the equation in the process but then again perhaps a level playing field should be welcomed?

No it doesn't work in Map hud just regular view. Which kinda confuses me cause I've been using the map view to do this hands down faster for quite a while now. You can point right at an anom and get a 5 degree on it simple as pie. You just use the you are here marker as the back sight and the anom, astral body as the front sight. Then just dial in the range if there are a couple of things in line to know where he went. The only thing it might be good for is catching which direction a ship flew off in if you weren't zoomed out enough to see where the dude went in time. |
