So that more miners die more quickly, less ore is mined, prices go up and people are more likely to purchase plex? Just thinking out loud (via typing).

1) Cannot get probes to come out in a decent formation consistently anymore. I do not need or want 8 probes, so I now only carry 5. When they launch they come out in odd formations and it is so annoying to have them to move them in to a decent spread. Please can we have an option to ignore formations completely, and the probes appear where your ship actually is again? In addition it was much better when probes were dropped one at a time. The formation buttons do not work with only 5 probes as it seems to assume there must be 3 missing and so places my 5 probes not in a regular pattern, but with 1 central, and then the other 4 placed seemingly at random.

2) On the occasions probes do get arranged in some usable formation, scanning has become a variant of PI. Seems to be no connect between how I move my probes and signal strength anymore. It is just click, drag, click, drag... I know it was not exactly rocket science before, but at least it felt like I was actually doing something rather than just doing something that my on-board computer could do for me. I do not see why we bother scanning anything now, my Cheetah's computer could handle it surely. I could just log on and click warp-to.

3) Data and Relic sites mini-game thing is fine. Totally unnecessary, devoid of both fun and irritants, so whatever. But the clicking TINY little boxes in space is ridiculous. If having to choose between the loot worth some isk, and that which is not worth anything, then that is fine... But they have to appear on the overview, or a pop-up panel, or just about anything other than too-small boxes shooting out in various directions. Seriously, it would be better if every time I hacked a data site you dispatched 20 carrier pigeons over my actual house and I had to physically shoot them down with a sling.

All I ever wanted to do since I started Eve was be an explorer. And while I can still run wormholes, actual scanning for data and relic sites feels like it is now a part of my Eve existence I have to retire. It really feels like it has been redesigned by people who do not actually scan much, who did not previously find any fun in doing it, and as such it has not evolved. It feels like this is a stepping stone to phasing it out. I could even accept the clicking on space but not having any control over my probes is a disaster.

I searched for a hacking site in high sec yesterday, but didn't find one. Not good for a new player, if there isn't even a site.

think i just found the way to pull them back together so you can set the 5 probe pattern, launch the 5 and then holding alt pull them all into the centre at once , just tried it and it works

CHANGES

User Interface

Removed the unused GÇÿSell This ItemGÇÖ and GÇÿCreate ContractGÇÖ menu options when right-clicking on an item in a Corporate Hangar Array or Personal Hangar Array

don't bother.

1- minigame is irritating piece of crap

2- if you happen to win it, the loot phase is just designed by....i can find a non insulting word here

3- loot is not worth it, crap everywhere


this is what happen when ppl who ever scanned or ran thoses sites are in charge in redesign, AND they don't listen players feedback (just look at SIS feedback, since DAY 1 this was rolled on sisi, ppl are telling CCP this whole thing is BAD very very BAD, explaining why and stuff

but as usual, CCP ignored the players....

all in all, inarna was clearly the worst expansion, but odyssey is really a good challenger for the place

Gate jump sound is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too loud, very annoying.

I'd also like to be able to move the columns around in the scanning interface, a la pre-Odyssey. I don't care what the 'Scan Group' is, as I have filters setup already so I know what the group is.

Apologies in advance, I know this has probably been addressed somewhere already, but I could not find it.

I know that the Destroyer/Battlecruiser SP backfill took place (thanks for that). What about the Mining Frigate skill for characters who never trained that but are in Hulks and Macks? For now I see my characters are still allowed to fly ships with red X's in their pre-req lists...will that change? Or will they be given up to the level needed to meet the reqs?

Thanks,

But how does the move from scannable sites to anomalies fit into the "make mining a more active profession" mantra? I thought of "active" in terms of "work for your rocks" and not "get doomed in seconds just like sitting untanked in crowded systems abc belt".

Can you show me that menu in a screenshot because it is apparently not avaiable in my version of eve...

I mean look at this. How does CCP expect the ice belts to last with this shenanigans going on? lol
