Droidyk Maniacal Miners INC The Omega Industries 28	Posted - 2013.05.15 11:54:00 - [271] - Quote I liked the green color of the scanning sweep better, the shadow is not that comfortable to me now.. I know its a crap complaint but yk :).. also it seems to be slower than it was before the newest patch, faster was also better.
Anita1 Explorer Corps Disavowed. 10	Posted - 2013.05.15 12:25:00 - [272] - Quote pls give us an option to complettly turn that off, plus give us a list with all anomalies and make the ids copyable
Shalua Rui Rui Freelance Mining 12773	Posted - 2013.05.15 12:29:00 - [273] - Quote I quite like it, as most of the new visual features, but it makes the rest of the interface look even more dated... time to get wild with the old menues and lists! Seriously though: The new UI theme seams to go in a "360-¦ VR interface" direction which is quite nice! On the functionality side: The difference to the old system is not that big, so yea, it's ok.

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc 387	Posted - 2013.05.15 12:38:00 - [274] - Quote As said before : 1- Nice new color for the sensor overlay, it is not giving me headaches anymore ! 2- The scan effect is displayed in front of the wormhole effect. Not good :( 3- When selecting an option using the scan button, the mouse resets to the said scan button... The opposite of what a radial menu should do. 4- Blurry effect around cosmic anomalies does not follow them during warp, you have to manually hide/show the overlay again to fix this. 5- Still no sync with the scanning list. G££ <= Me
DiamondDave Maximus Latter Day Saints SPACE CONTINUUM 0	Posted - 2013.05.15 18:05:00 - [275] - Quote A couple of things. 1. Allow me a method to turn off the sweep everytime I enter a system. 2. Allow me a way to turn off the annoying sound the scanner makes. The overlay itself is fine, and maybe its dumbing down a bit.. I dunno, still kind of new to the game. Maybe make it so the images on the overlay last only for so long on screen... it fades away, like that of a radar signature on a ATC tower (of old). To refresh it, you have to hit the scan again and have it sweep. But mostly, let me have teh ability to turn off..
Rammix FreeWorkers 65	Posted - 2013.05.16 04:33:00 - [276] - Quote Don't give us a list of anomalies from the sensor overlay. It would make things too easy and trivial and dumb. As I see it, sensor overlay was only intended to let people look around when they come into another system to see is it worth stopping there or they should go further to other systems. IT'S NOT a constant monitoring tool. And it should not become a monitoring tool. I suspect this 'give us a list' thing is a part of true carebear dream to make "their eve" more pink-coloured and let them suffer less (carebares must suffer, btw; I, too, when I'm killing rats, etc).

nesdaq Viziam Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2013.05.16 05:18:00 - [277] - Quote u should able to swap the scanner function from left click -> show radial menu to left click show scanner. and/or move the right click to the radial menu no need to do more movement to get things showing up

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc 387	Posted - 2013.05.16 12:08:00 - [280] - Quote After the very recent update on SISI, here is my feedback : Very nice new icons, they are better imo. Cosmic signatures still not updating when scanning. (SNEAKY DEV !) Would be nice to see the blurry area around a signature being updated to, to reflect the increase in the accuracy of the potential location of the signature. Nice new sounds when anomal/signature detection But said sound is not triggering properly when mousing over the signature in space, sounds like the actual hitbox is a doughnut with a hole at the middle not triggering the sound, very unintuitive. When displaying the sensor overlay, sweeping is still running constantly and it's ANNOYING ! Although its new color from another update is less uncomfortable. G££ <= Me

Arduemont Rotten Legion Ops 1456	Posted - 2013.05.16 14:45:00 - [281] - Quote Not sure if I have already said this... but I want to make the point that the scanner shouldn't be automatically running when you enter a system. You should at least have to turn the scanner on to receive the benefits. If it's going to run automatically then you might as well just put the damn sites in the normal drop down menu for the system. Positives; Like the animation and the UI for highlighting sites is great. Love the fact you can run it permanently and it's awesome that ore sites now show up on a normal scan. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice."
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc 387	Posted - 2013.05.16 15:12:00 - [282] - Quote Okay, the new podding animation (without blackscreen) is nice too ! However you only barely notice the red text at the bottom left corner since there is something else to see everywhere. G££ <= Me
Zerb Arus WormSpaceWormS Galactic Skyfleet Empire 19	Posted - 2013.05.16 15:35:00 - [283] - Quote If the purpose is to move things from excel to space, Im afraid its failing it purpose for me. If it is an aid that helps a newbie to accidentally stumble over a signature, who otherwise would not even have guessed that such things exist, than its ok. Spinning the camera in circles and then missing something anyways .... Im back to exclusively using probes because it gives me a headache otherwise. You sould consider showing the results (not only anomalies but also signatures) immediately in the scanner window too, or on the F11 map (that hardly anyone uses) or at least the solarsystem-map (th F10 one) Dont get me wrong, It looks awesome and sci-fi but the usability is almost non-existent. In case the rumors about the plans of removing the list in the scanner-window entirely are true, please reconsider! There HAS to be some way to see signatures from 3rd person. (like when you are looking at the map) There Is a reason that radar data is usually not displayed in 1st person in real world applications.

Adunh Slavy 795	Posted - 2013.05.16 18:16:00 - [285] - Quote CCP Fozzie wrote: The list view onboard scanner is still in this version of SISI, but we are planning on removing it barring any major problems with the sensor overlay. Ideally we want to keep the number of tools people need to learn the same with this change, not increase it. Still need a list to make it easier to keep track of things and communicate with other players. "Fly to XYZ-123" is a lot simpler than "undock, look up, then left a bit, and see that thing over the moon? okj now look just below that" ... messy.

Also if you are monitoring sites to see if a new one has shown up, having to write down all you can see, then constantly compare the written list to stuff you see in space is a pain. Its also a pain to have to keep spinning the ship all over to look for new stuff. Far worse than clicking the scan button every 5 seconds.
Terrorfrodo Renegade Hobbits for Mordor 451	Posted - 2013.05.16 20:40:00 - [287] - Quote The new version of the overlay looks much cleaner and cooler, also less irritating. Could get used to that. Having to look for new signatures in space instead of a list would have some appeal, because it requires more effort, besides moving EVE away from spreadsheetiness. However, having to spin not only in a circle, but also upwards and downwards is really irritating. .

However, having to spin not only in a circle, but also upwards and downwards is really irritating. Solution: Get rid of the Discovery Scanner as real time intel tool by putting in a five minute delay between scans (or reset on a session change). Take away the ability for it to auto repeat. This solves the problem of: 1. People constantly spinning their ships to find new sigs 2. People complaining about that annoying animation every few seconds 3. People not receiving automatic real time intel Put back in DSPs so they can be used for what they've always been used for.
Solanar Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 2	Posted - 2013.05.17 00:21:00 - [290] - Quote 20 minutes of spinning the camera around gives me a headache. No list is unusable. 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 Now try and do the same thing using the list scanner: http://i.imgur.com/FtcWLRE.png Just give people the option between the two and everyone will be happy. I think the people that play eve can deal with learning two different ways to do the same thing and figure out when to use each.

I think the people that play eve can deal with learning two different ways to do the same thing and figure out when to use each. I been saying this from the start, all sigs will be spammed like this and unusable on screen due to cosmic geometry, everything basically on one plane, and POV to celestials varies so it will be a quite common occurrence, in some systems on entry it may be the norm. CCP doesn-¦t seem to have an astrophysicist on the team to point out little things like this, all they have is dev-¦s distracted by shiny objects.
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc 387	Posted - 2013.05.17 06:59:00 - [292] - Quote Given that the goal to move away from spreadsheets in space is to make the game more accessible, I must say that quite ironically, the list is clearly better for this purpose here. G££ <= Me
Galmas United System's Commonwealth R.E.P.O. 96	Posted - 2013.05.17 08:50:00 - [293] - Quote Please, can we have a switch to disable the automatic scan on entering system. Pretty pointless to have all that scanning going on when i just have to travel 20 jumps to some random destination. (or i could just question the wasted server time if you need a technical reason.)
Galmas United System's Commonwealth R.E.P.O. 96	Posted - 2013.05.17 08:53:00 - [294] - Quote once i open the radial menu behind the scanner window button my mouse gets very laggy. feels like half a second delay between the mouse pointer in the client and the mouse on the pad, while it prolly is way less. please fix. edit: and i cant move the mouse above the horizontal centerline of the screen once that radial menu is open
Naren Vintas Space Busters 4	Posted - 2013.05.17 09:43:00 - [295] - Quote Right. I won't be saying anything that wasn't said already, but I'm going to do it anyway, for the sake of count of feedback, so you lot can add it to the statistics. I won't lie to you: I kinda like the new scanner, however I do not like its usefulness - or rather, the lack of thereof. Yes, having a fancy effect of you ship scanning space looks cool. Having anomalies in the 3d environement overlay is also looking nice. However: 1. Please, do not run the scanner automatically upon entering the system. Just don't. It is forcing the player into seeing more stuff than they need or want to see. What about the people who don't give a damn about scanning? Or what about the people who do, but are currently doing something else and do not want to be distracted by it? 1.1. Alright. So, right now, the scanner does run automatically. We get the popups of signatures and anomalies. I'm opening the scanner window to see the list of them. And, wait. There's nothing? So, basically, our ship scans the space, but does not post the result to a readable source? That needs to be changed. Furthermore, onwards to the point 2. 2. You want to get rid of too many spreadsheets in game. But in doing so, with example of the scanning, you are trying to remove spreadsheets/lists from where their existence is necessary. This is Spaceships in space game. Sometimes, spreadsheets are necessary. Really. I much prefer to have a list of anomalies and signatures that I am trying to keep track of, rather to have them in space in 3d overlay. It has been mentioned many times already: It gives us headache. In 3d, you need to actively look for anomalies/signatures to find it, in all axis. Not only is it much harder than looking for them on the list, it's also much easier to miss something. 3. Real-time updates. As in point 1.1, our ship automatically scans space if set to do so. Doing that, should regularly populate and update the scanner list. In summary, and in suggestions: Having nice scanning overlay is a neat addition, but whose only pro is being a cosmetic detail. In its current state it fails in anything else. Please remove the compulsory initial scanning when entering the system, but keep the option to manually turn it on. That will make whole more lot people happier. Please, do not remove spreadsheets/lists from where they are absolutely necessary. The moment you remove the anomalies/signatures list from scanner as it is now, I can imagine a lot of people losing interest in using that feature. Right now, you might as well add the Anomalies into the Right-Click menus. One more thing. I would rather be able to use Radial Menu on the Anomalies pins in space, than to see the current implementation of their tooltips (or to have both). With a little effort, you could move all the information and functionality of the Anomalies' tooltips into the Radial Menu. That is all for now, cheers.
Ralmar Kimnot Okorer 14	Posted - 2013.05.17 11:31:00 - [296] - Quote There have been comments from CCP and others along the lines of 'we will take away the list so that people donGÇÖt have two learn to interfaces'. Before the proposed changes we had: A scanner button that opened up the scanner menu. This was one window with common functionality and lists covering moon, probe, directional & anomaly scanning. After the proposed changes we will have: A scanner button that opens a radial menu, one option started the new discovery overlay, while other options open the existing scanner window. For moon and directional scanning you use the existing window with lists. For anomaly and probe scanning you use the new overlay. Removing scanner and anomaly results from lists will ensure people only have to learn one interface !! Really? We used to have one interface with common functionality, look and feel that provided information in an easy to use flexible way. Now we have 2 interfaces one of which is clearly a big step in the direction of neon colours and space invader graphics to the detriment of functionality. I know the guys at CCP have put a lot of work into this and I also know they are doing what they think is best. CCP Seagul described the discovery scanner as beutiful in one of the fanfest keynotes so critism probably comes across as harsh but these changes arent an improvement. New players may find it appealing but it won't hold their attention.
Durzel Questionable Ethics. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 123	Posted - 2013.05.17 11:38:00 - [297] - Quote I'm sure it's been said already, but I'm going to say it again... the new sensor overlay needs to show signatures and anomalies as if they are brackets - i.e. if they are not visible on screen you can see them at the edge of the screen so you know which way to rotate the camera. I jumped around a few systems on SiSi this morning and just about heard that there were signatures in the system (the sound it makes when one is detected is barely audible :lolevehassound: ), but even after doing a couple of 360 sweeps with the camera (this is a bad user experience imo) I still missed a couple that were revealed once I'd dropped probes.
Adan Natrier Paladin Order Fidelas Constans 9	Posted - 2013.05.17 14:23:00 - [298] - Quote Sensor shadows are still not tracking through warp. Today - http://i.imgur.com/mx8t4j3.jpg Reproduce simply by entering warp as soon as you get into system (for example, like you have somewhere to go) to something far enough away for the shadow location to be pronounced enough to be visible. Since the previous patch to new sensor overlay, if the sensor is in 'always show' it does discontinue (the visual) in warp - but not for the initial scan. This locks the superimposed clouds in as shown. Still obviously concerned how the visual doesn't really show what the sensor is doing - it does scan while in warp - it doesn't pause it like the effect('s absence) implies. (would love AU distances to be displayed over planet brackets, but I guess being brackets is why they won't get them.)
Kraiklyn Laduko Sunstrike Enterprises 0	Posted - 2013.05.17 15:38:00 - [299] - Quote The scanner overlay looks nice but having been exploring in Sisi today I find that I don't use it. If I'm exploring then I''m carrying probes that I will have to drop anyway to actually scan things down. So I just drop the probes and get the results where I need them, in a nice list. So really there is no change from how I used to explore except now I can't scan a whole system in one go because the DSP has been taken away. Having to spin my view around and around and around and around to look for things in space is really annoying after about the first go at it and it really tells me not very much. If you are not exploring then the information from the scan is useless anyway so there should be a way to turn it off completely.
Arriaz Mythic Heights 9	Posted - 2013.05.17 15:49:00 - [300] - Quote The scanning results and the overlay are not linked. This is important, was this an oversight or a choice. If was a choice, please explain why. If this was an oversight, please link it before Odyssey goes live. Picture if you will a naval vessel at sea. It can use sonar to see below and radar to see above. Interestingly the ship does not need to point in the direction of the signal. This is a good thing in the case of pointing to a submarine. Oh wait, the ship does not need to point in the direction of the signal, just the crew. I see. The officer of the watch needs to be constantly turning 360 degrees on three axis in order to see any new contacts. I wonder if they get special physiotherapy for that little maneuver. I am glad that none of our current user friendly technology made it into the future; where would the fun in that be.
