It would be nice if after you log in it remembered weather or not you had it set to perma run.

Another thought about this would be to have it show only 100% anomalies, and only show sigs when a DSP has been launched and scanned.

This I like (although with cores or combats, assuming that DSPs get the boot). It preserves the sense of discovery from finding something that was previously completely hidden (yes, having every sig ever show up does kill the mystery) and integrates it with something that encourages you to look at the pretty space around you instead of a black and white map made of lines and dots.
The thought was to make DSP useful again, and all but necessary for exploration.
On another thought, is it possible to standatdize the size of probes and then just flag combat probes for the expanded probe launcher.

This new overlay system makes scanning way to easy, I was able to scan down a 5/10 DED complex in low sec, in 4 scans.
I was in a Vexor Navy Issue, had a T1 core probe launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probes, Astrometrics 3, and a single Medium Gravity Capacitor Upgrade.
I was able to determine the location of the site based upon its location on the screen, immediately set my probes there in a pinpoint formation and started at 4 AU scan range, skipping the 2 AU sweep.

The display of this needs to be adjusted, as there have been many times I thought I looked all over only to warp to the next system and then see one or two sigs that I missed while panning.
Any way to display results at the edge of the screen but not provide information till you have it in clear view?

Scanning is alread way to easy now, why do you want to make it even easier?

Then just ask for all signatures to appear with the discovery scanner like ore sites do, that way there will be no scanning needed except for combat scanning.
Edit: You would still complain about the centering thing, so just make everything show up on the discovery scanner and remove probe launchers and probes from the game.

No "discovery" or removing scanning .. just do us all a favor and shut up.
Wow, the new system overlay is calle the discovery scanner, and what you are asking will lead to the eventual removal of scanning as a whole.

Also, the latest update has made it even more difficult to find what you want in systems with large amounts of anomalies. Find ZIJ-383! http://i.imgur.com/mmzDtRj.jpg Please will someone explain to me how this makes the new players experience better. This. I've spent time looking at the "new" system and quite frankly, it's not a good experience. If this was the only thing I had to base my in-game experience off of, I would look to other avenues of entertainment.
TBH I was looking for a 4/10 DED complex today on SISI after about 5 systems I quit using the Discovery Scanner (sensor overlay) I would just warp to the next gate on my path, once I dropped gate cloak but before I started to warp I would launch probes and scan while I was in warp, during that time my launcher would reload the next 8 probes. If there were signatures is system I would scan it, if now the new no probe left behind let me jump into the next system without waiting to recover probes.
It took me 6 seconds to scan each system this way, and there was no flipping the camera around looking for sigs.
Now for the fruits of my effort, I found 10 unrated sites including a Serpentis Annex in a .4 system, 4 5/10 sites a dozen or so 3/10 sites, and after over scanning 70 systems not a single 4/10 site.
