Seven probes launched at once
Probe launchers can now only launch a maximum of seven probes.

Honestly guys, I want feedback AFTER you have used the features. Not before!
Singularity will be up shortly.

Not easier, but more accessible.

We are not trying to reduce the art of scanning down to a simple click

, we are aiming to make scanning more accessible to those who want to use it, but still requires you to master the art.

I have some questions and then some information listed below. I am asking you all and especially CCP to take a look at this. Thank you.

Since the current skills are 5x and 8x mulitpliers, it means that more skillpoints have been trained for that skill. When the Odyessey changes are implemented, it will require less skillpoitns per level. Will the extra skillpoints that have already been trained for those respective skills, be put toward the skill's next level or will they simply vanish? Will a Level 4 skill currently in TQ, become Level 4.2 or 4.5 (meaning that it is closerto level 5 because of the skillpoints already trained). If so, what will be given to those who have already trained those skills to level 5?


In all due respect, please take a look at the following:

Astrometric Acquisition and Astrometric Pinpointing currently are 5x multiplier skills. To get from Level 0 to Level 4 in these respective skills, requires 226,275 skillpoints. Astrometric Rangefinding is a 8x multiplier skill which needs 362,039 skillpoints to get from Level 0 to Level 4.

The new skill changes will make Astrometric Acquisition and Astrometric Pinpointing 2.5x, although I imagine this rounds up to 3x multiplier. To reach Level 4 with a 3x multiplier skill requires 135,765 skillpoints. This means, that after the skills are adjusted for the Odyssey release, Capsuleers that have trained these skills to Level 4 will lose 90,510 skillpoints per skill.

Astrometric Rangefinding would become a 4x multipler skill, now needing only 181,020 to reach Level 4. Capsuleers that have trained this skill will lose 181,019 skillpoints.

That would be a total loss of 362,039 skillpoints if you have currently trained those skills to Level 4. It would be an even greater deficit if you have trained those skills to Level 5.

If you are average 1,900 sp/hour. Then 362,039/1,900 = 190.55 hours lost or 7.94 days thrown out the window. I don't see how losing over a week worth of training is irrelevant.

My little list:

- Give us back our Deep Space Probes! They are great! They cut down the time to scan for WH exits by A LOT. Not by the range only, but by the signature strength. As a game designer you should know that, but to clarify: http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/wormhole.html?str=12.3&f=5&sec=3

aparently, at least ten people disagree.

Most people seemed to be using 7 probes.

The overwhelming consensus in this thread is that you want the 8th probe back, so we are now working on putting it back.

Skill changes are final.

What is there to reimburse?

Unacceptable blindspots in the 'Spread' probe formation


My entire concern can be best summarized with this single image:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78696860/MiniSnaps/Static/EveOnlineSpreadProbeBLINDSPOTS.png
The bottom half is where I properly fixed the formation. Having it further spread would once again create small blindspots on the upper/lower portions in between the probes towards the center probe.


There are blindspots in this formation. The pinpoint formation is fine, however if the spread formation isn't changed then I don't see it ever being used.

Reverting everything apart from user defined launch patterns is silly and a waste of time invested by CCP,
