Actualy, OP does raise a point although he doesn't grasp the changes fully.
People who have trained all their Astrometrics support skills will see their effectiveness reduced. Currently Astrometrics will give you 1 more active probe. I know lots who haven't trained that to level V but did train Astrometrics support skills to level V. You don't need Astrometrics to lvl V, scanning with 5 probes works fine.
If I read the DEV blog correctly these Astrometrics support skills will be less effective (in most cases things like Astrometric Rangefinding and such the skill bonus will go from 10% per skill level to 5% per skill level).
To get to the current level of effectiveness they now need to train Astrometrics as well. Not exactly what the OP is implying but still something to look into. |

now add the new exploration modules, astrometrics 5, a bonused ship, sisters gear and a virtue set and you can probably scan any sig to 100% in under 20 seconds.
True, with the new summer patch there will be additional items for mid slots (not sure about the low slots) that will enhance scanning. People who have trained all there Astrometric support skills to level V will basicly be "overskilled" after the patch.
Those that have, better start sceaming FIRE now or CCP will not reimburse you anything  |
