Time to quash some rumors, System Scanning, Probes and the related skills are geting some love on the Path to Kali. How much love, you ask? Easier scanning, a better interface, more equipment and a new skill or three are just some of the revisions planned for the System Scanning revamp.
So, here you go, Diary entry of the monstrously bad-looking developer pt. II.

If we use more than one probe at a time, does that increase our chances of success and accuracy?
Now there's something I forgot to mention;
- Probes can not be deployed within scan radius of another probe owned by the same person
- Probe strength stacks with other probes if an object is located in both probe radiuses
- Inaccuracy is stacked as well with even freakier results, "stacking" a probe with high inaccruacy and another one with low inaccuracy won't give the same results as if the low inaccuracy would have given you

So basicly safespotting remains the Uber and anyone who has managed to create an off grid safespot 10 warps out from any point of the system is sill impossible to find and kill?
There will be a probe with almost unlimited range, it's not the best but it will be able to find ships that have gone to far into space. And it will be able to work alone, like all probes will.

I would also like to know about the possibility of scanning for a cloaked ship
Cloaked ships will be scanable, but they won't get uncloaked if they are found on the scanner.

so tomb you are removind the ability to use a carrier in eve for anything but frontline(suicide work) and pos hugging?
Carriers are supposed to be capable of frontline combat, have you ever wondered why they get these support bonuses? Making scanning a usable tool for finding things won't get cut off because this ship class ain't in the right state of balance.

What happens to the Covert ops? Why did they have to lose their role as the fastest scanning ship?
Woopsie, the name "Recon Launcher" has nothing to do with Recon ships there, it's just called that atm, Covert Ops are still supposed to be equally or even more scan based than Recons. I'll get the name changed, thanks for pointing that out.
