After spending the past couple days scanning (a lot, as in nearly 200 systems), I have determined the new "DSP" method for getting signature sizes. It's actually quite simple..
Jump into a new system, and look at the initial scan signatures. Ignore anomalies and sort by distance. The "closer" the signature, the larger the signature.
You can still use SwiftAndBitter's DSP guide located here: http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/index.html
Now, with the signatures sorted by distance...
6.22 AU = Size 10 6.96 AU = Size 7.5 7.33 AU = Size 5 7.89 AU = Size 2.5 7.95 AU = Size 2.2
Compare to the DSP chart, and you now know what signature types are (probably) in the system. |

It's larger because it's closer?
Or the sig strength is higher because it's closer.... |

I am relieved to know that whatever system I jump in to that the incoming WHs will always be close to me.
I guess the size 10 incoming WHs to my system will always spawn around my POS since that's where I log in the most, and radars will always be at the other end of the system.
Thank god.
What if I move the pos? |

What if I move the pos? The distance shown in the scanner window on the initial scan has nothing to do with the actual distance. They're clearly banded and different from the actual distance. |

Yeah, I've gotta think that's a bug. They pretty intentionally removed signal strength from the system scanner, and the distance column basically does the same thing. |

Then that's clearly a bug.

the highest band correspond to the "4 AU distance" |

Hello ladies and gentlemen o7 I have made updates to the DSP guide! I could not have done this without HTC NecoSino's help, you all owe him big time. |

Yes, this is a bug I am pretty sure. When I was playing around with this on the test server the distances were actually displaying pretty accurately. Now the distance will be shown as 4au for example when the actual signature is 30au away. So surely a bug. |

Interesting. To bad its probably gonna be patched. But nice work! |

I guess this is one of those "They did WHAT?" moments the devs have from time to time. Lets see, if this gets accepted, just like jetcan mining did. |

It was also fairly easy to do the same via combat probes. It isn't quite as accurate since they cannot go as wide as DSP's could. But the spread formation helps counteract that (think of it kind of like an array style radio telescope). I've found probing so easy I just scan everything with combats now anyhow.
Pop probes in spread formation. increase to max (64AU). Deactivate first probe (they double up the center probe which throws off values). Scan. Reactivate probe one. Switch to pinpoint. |

I can confirm that this looks like a bug. You should be able to figure out some kind of info through the amount of uncertainty (the size of the circle in space and on the solar system map) - but the distance column in the probe scanner should display the estimated distance to the signature (and not the uncertainty value).
I am pretty sure, that you can expect changes to this (but with the disclaimer, that I am not a game designer).

So. He does indicate that the 'uncertainty' should be an indicator -- which is to say, if you calculate the spread, then you've got sig sizes again.
So this chart will still be useful -- you'll just have to do a tiny bit of mental math. |

CCP Greyscale did state during testing that the range deviation given in the tooltip could still be used to derive a rough estimate of signature strength.

Hilarious!
I also wonder if using the percentages in the scanner will be 'frowned' upon after that. The underlying problem is that the bands (sig sizes) are STILL THERE. Just randomize them a bit and this whole issue will go away. The actual scanning is now faster than ever anyway. |

Can you have the old one still active somewhere? Especially when they remove the distance 'trick', despite the lack of DSPs your site was still useful for figuring out if a WH was your static or another WH etc. by using normal probes. |

It's the same info, just with the 1st column changed. If they do add a randomization, it'll still be the same info, just with different ways of reading it. |

Exactly. And I would like a version with the column unchanged or an option to show the column and a field to enter the base probe strength. |

Base probe strength has no effect using the current method. If CCP updates this "bug" then that will probably change. Once we figure out that method, an option for sig strength will be added again, if necessary.

I still used the DSP website after Odyssey and it worked fine for me. |

Perhaps it should be considered a feature. Emissions broadcasts should follow the inverse squares law. |
