You shouldt know what type of signature is until you have it scanned down to at least 25%. Actually, the current system works fine in that aspect. |

Not completely. While I haven't done much testing on it as of yet. I have been able to assume that 20% str sigs are Combat, 10% str are profession sites, and >5% str are gas. So after some time it will allow players to know with a great certainty what type of site it is off of the overlay. However like I said I haven't really been monitoring or done much testing, so I could be off.
Agreed, but to know the strenght of a sig you should have probes out. Know the strenght without probes doesn't sound right. |

Ok, I'll asume that th DS is a DSP. I don't agree that you should know what type of sig is without core probes or combats. It makes things easier. I dont like it as it screw a couple of mechanics in wspace. With the rest I
dont have an issue.
Its like serving your meal already digested. |

They could have changed it. But two days ago i saw what types of anoms (types, not an specific name) without launching probes. |

"Guristas Forsaken Hub" is an Anom. You should absolutely see the name of that, because they always come up as 100% green and warpable.
"Serpentis Data Fortress" is a Data-type Cosmic Sig. You should see it come up via Discovery Scanner as a red bracket in space that just tells you the signature ID (Ex: QOV-361) and the distance (23.4 AU) and the base signal strength (8%), where only probing can reveal what type it is (Data) at 25% and finally the name at 75%.
That's the Discovery Scanner I've been using. As for myself, I've never seen it tell me what type of site it is (Data, Relic, Combat) without probes.
You are making me very happy with what are you saying. Though I remember seeing it, could be the day that they broke it with a patch and overlay was messy. I have no problems with the overlay as it is then.

It wont tell you the name or what site, but if you have the scanning window up it will show you the base str instantly. What the issue is for one there is no delay when entering in the system and knowing what is in the system(there should be a 5-10sec delay similar to the visual aspect). Also the base str from the overlay can be used to determine what type of site it is. Now if the last part is intended or not is up in the air, since it gives a similar ability that DSP gives(even though CCP said they wanted to remove that) just now without the skill req.
Also the overlay gives a dotted readout on sigs when in the solar system map, which should only be possible with triangulation. Not sure if that is intended or not, since it should be a bubble(single probe hit). The deviation is about the same as a bubble so it's a bit deceiving.
I could also drop a probe as soon as I enter the system and get the same effect. But is a double-edge sword. You could enter a system and know how many sigs are if you are a hunter which is helpful. Instead, if you are doing sig-watch, you know when a new sig appears. |

Seriously, though. The unsu threat doesn't work. |
