Thats because of lolcal is doing the i should go now work for you, that wont work in W-Space.
As Barges cant fit probe launchers for system observation, solo mining wont work here, unless you go for the infamous mining rokh.
I just get a Skiff or wahtever the tanky barges are called now and file mining under baiting.
Thats no solo activity then though. |

You know what that implies? You don't even need an alt with a probe out to look for new wormholes anymore...
What???
You mean, ppl can soon program bots to farm ore and POS up as soon as a new sig spawns?
That's some bulllllls***.

Why do CCP keep's on fixing thing that ain't broken ? ( at least until they fix it )
Will we get a partial refund on scanning skills ?
What will become of me, poor scanning alt ?
Is there a life after biomass ?

Honestly the solution to this is to stop mining in your hulk. Go with a cheap mining ship, and laugh as you rack in the increased isk due to the increases in the prices of ABC ores this summer. If some one ganks your cheap ass barge who cares the pay for themselves very quickly.

Pretty much this. Not that mining in a WH sucks any worse than mining anywhere else. But then getting all of that ore out bleh.
Mining arkonor at XX isk/hr vs running a few sites for XXXX isk/hr.

In this expansion will probes and probe launchers become obsolete and replaced by this "Click to Win" scan button or will there be any more complexions for current veteran scanners ? Only for anom runners and would be miners. anoms have always been click to win, though now thinking about it .. if you need on grid boosters shortly .. how will this effect mining with rorq boosts? there is no way people are going to siege up a rorq in the middle of a grav site if people dont need to scan it down.

wait, so not ONLY are Wspace miners going to be able to see new K162s open up as soon as they appear if they spam the System Scanner, AND you don't even need to probe down (former) Grav sites, Wspace is getting 5/10% asteroids as well?
And people are ragequitting over this? As someone who mines occasionally (with either all statics/k162s firmly closed and/or alts/scouts on WHs) when the J# is otherwise cleared and feel like being a lazy beartard, I think these are ******* awesome changes. |

You dont spam system scanner. Yhere is something that you can leave it on and shows the sigs against the skybox. It doeas a 360 scan in less than a minute or half a minute... something like that.
Edit: Just tested, it takes less than 10 seconds for the thing to go around and you can't ingnore the sigs just for checking new ones.... |

yes, you can ignore the old sigs. You just have to do it manually.

I've been playing with the new scanning system on SISI for a few hours, running from null to empire and trying out stuff including the new scanning mods.
It's insanely easy to use. Insta-probe patterns auto-moved to the sun, no more Alt or Shift+mouse, and scans at under 3.5 seconds with a T2 acquisition array.
And no more Deep Space Probes.
That was something I was leery about at first, but I see the reasoning behind it. The new sensor overlay shows all sigs and anoms in a system, regardless of distance, and their approximate position. You can then click on an unknown sig and launch a preset pattern of 7 probes (default is 4AU though which is annoying), move and start scanning. It really is a LOT quicker. Plus no more switching of probes and having to wait the ten seconds.
It's still buggy on SISI, and you get dizzy having to look all around space for sigs. But the speed is incredible. I dropped into Kassigainen and was warping to a wormhole inside 20 seconds.
Stealth Bombers are going to have a fecking ball with the grav site changes. Especially in cluttered w-systems where the appearance of a new K162 sig might easily be overlooked, or where the sig appears perhaps above or below you, or behind you. |

Meh, won't be any different than running anoms in Nul/Low. As long as you're smart enough to watch local it's simple as can be. |

Oh, I'll go away.
Or will I?
It could be that I'm always there, watching you.
That's a nice ship you warped to your tower the other day.
Makes my little Bomber squad I've got logged off in your hole itching to go.
