As Haulle said above I'm not so sure that people getting used to dropping a DSP and knowing what all the sigs are before you've actually gone any further in scanning was ever what CCP intended.
If the new system means you can't know instantly what every sig is, but it's a lot quicker to scan individual sigs down - isn't that a positive result? More engagement, less undocumented & unintended features that you're at an instant disadvantage if you don't know. Did the skill ceiling come from knowledge of these undocumented variables - e.g. like signature sizes all being constant - or from actual scanning ability?
The new probing system isn't without its faults and foibles, but it's not the apocalypse.It is worth noting also that there was a lot of "the sky is falling" posts about exploration being dumbed down the last time it was revamped....... |

Since you need a minimum of 4 probes to scan anything down (unless that's changed) perhaps it would be better if clicking on the probe launcher launched 4 probes, and additional clicks launching another 2 probes? |

It's a good middle ground that reduces the amount of clicking, while not dumbing down probing in the process. Which the "we want to reduce clicking" argument is comical to say the least. The changes seem to be geared towards PVE, which they remove clicking in probing, but then add a minigame that's all clicking and a pinata that's even more clicking. :CCPlogic: let em keep the pin point layout, its useful and any rookie will be able to get a 100% hit in 3 moves, the spread is an abortion as is the reversion to set default scan sizes. The single probe launch is necessary for many tasks if you live way out where little probing goes on, its a way to get rid of what you bookmarked the day before and with out having to re-find the thing. i suggested earlier, make all Core probes launch as a set of 8 a.k.a. the SUPER PROBE and increase mass of the set of 8 to to equal 1 Combat probe with single launch.
If the sig IDs have changed how are you going to know to a certainty which sigs are which?
I don't know about other wormhole corps but we update sig IDs when they change, so that new signatures are obvious to anyone who is scanning at any time, without them having had to have scanned down everything to 100%.
I figured single probe launches were only useful for what is going to be defunct - scanning the whole system with DSP or whatever to know the strengths of all the sigs in the system? (defunct because DSPs are going, and auto-scanner replicates seeing all sigs) |

But by the same token wouldn't Virtues make it even easier? They'd still have some value, but obviously not at their current level if you don't need them for "unscannable" OGBs. |

Let's see. - Located in High Sec - Enemies are BC and below (With the exception of the 1 BS in Serpentis 4/10) - Can be done by 4 week old Newbie without breaking a sweat What would you call it?
A broken plex.
To be honest imo 4/10s dropping 300m in loot in highsec when it's just BC and below in the plex is disproportionate risk/reward, T3s or not. It's not like they're even that uncommon.
4/10s should be equivalent to one of the level 4 Worlds Collide rooms, minus the instant aggro. Make the plex more than just "burn to the satellite as fast as you can whilst tanking the anemic damage from everything on grid" |

If you can fly a Tengu you can fly a Gila, which is more than capable of doing 4/10s. Stop acting like the world is ending. |

Rek Seven wrote:@ CCP, is there a delay in time between a new signature spawning and the "discovery scanner" detecting the new signature?
If not i would suggest that you add one. Add a 5 minuet delay between a new signature (i.e. a wormhole) spawning and the discovery scanner being able to detect it... but for pilots that are using probes and actively pressing the scan button, reward their efforts by having no delay between probe scanning and new signature detection.
WHAT SAY YOU?
