I have tried scanning and its just fighting the User Interface, I'm sure this was not the intended aim of scanning! I did have 1 success, netted 12 million, but afterwards, its like after I narrow down a red target zone, it disappears!!! It goes on like this ad infinitum, increase scan area, narrow, increase scan area, narrow................
How. Annoying. Trying to align my probes for 30 minutes to an hour. I did see that youtube video also on how to align your probes so I know how it works etc and I have been patient but it just doesn't WORK!!!
The cliche part - whoever designed this scanning stuff.......well you know the rest LOL
/end rant
I doubt there can be any tips as to how to do it best??? |

Do SOMETHING to fix it. I mean, turn it 2D or make it into a fun minigame like those Mass Effect 2 mini puzzles but more appropriate, I don't know......... |

YOU can't figure it out so it's broken???
I can be patient with games but if its frustrating, its frustrating - end of story.
I am actually aligning the probes in a plus sign using 5 probes. I think I am getting the hang of it or it could just be chance. Basically align top down first and then align from the vertical axis etc etc.
My skills:
archaeology at level 3
astrometric acquision at level 2
astro rangefinding at level2
astrometrics at level 3
science at level 4

The interface improvements I am thinking of is the way homeworld series games lets you align things in 3D space, you remember???? |

Scanning's mostly about practice and player skills. I know people who can scan an entire system down (multiple sigs) in a couple minutes
Quote:I must admit i found it very frustrating as well the 3D map was a nightmare to align and focus in on . I decided to improve my scanning skills and eqp and come back to it at a later date
After looking at these skills, I think you are right. I will come back in a week or two when I have the necessary skills!!! |
