- Reduced the per level modifier for Astrometrics Rangefinding, Astrometrics Acquisition and Astrometrics pinpointing by half.
What happens to those people that have already trained these skills? Will they get compensated some skill points back? And in regards to the new modules, will this make the virtue implant set pointless? Right now, it is worth the money to scan down "unscannable t3s" (granted, there aren't many of them left). There will be no compensation for those skill changes. [...] The new skill changes will make Astrometric Acquisition and Astrometric Pinpointing 2.5x, although I imagine this rounds up to 3x multiplier. [...].
Would you please not confuse per level MODIFIERS and rank MULTIPLIERS ?
Your confusion is spreading to others already.
That said, the change IS somewhat infuriating because the reason for the change to the astrometics skill was, that the ONLY solution for a predefined formation was using 7 probes, thus obsoleting the old astrometics skill. Seriously guys, what's hard about saving 1-7 vector values (relative position of each additional probe towards the first probe launched) in a variable for each saved setup ?

Most people seemed to be using 7 probes. Additionally, that number lends itself much better to isometric shapes which are easy to identify and assemble. Fixing it at 7 probes was done to simplify things for less experienced players and reduce micromanagement of probes. The overwhelming consensus in this thread is that you want the 8th probe back, so we are now working on putting it back.
You gave part of the reason why people predominantly use(d) 7 probes. Ease of assembling the setup. Time is often a factor that can be more important than using the perfect setup resolution-wise.
With predefined configurations time will be a non-issue and assembling difficulty will be a one-time investment, so people will aim to use the most efficient setup. (Which IMO would be two tetrahedrons with different scan ranges and main direction, btw :))

Since they sem to be moving away from the limitation of using exactly 7 probes, reverting the skill change would be an option, true.
On the other hand, I just finished Astrometrics V because of the nice skill boni it will give :) (I'd be ok with only getting the 8th probe, though) |

Please do NOT combine literally and infinite. The stupidity of that combination makes my eyes hurt.
You may wish to look up both words. |
