love the idea.
not because it might fix laaaag BUT especially cause it would enable peeps to manually scan and manually create bookmarks to get close to prey.
the way scan probes work atm just requires ZERO skill. and with astro 5 you can make random SSs anyway.
then make everything on scanner which is further away than 0.1 au from your ship but closer than 0.5 au warpable. 
i'd have wasted alot of time training covops and astrometrics to 5 but who cares! the scan probe system sucks. just scan for probes within few au and log off when you spot anything like 99% of eve does and probes are useless.

It would also allow people to create SSs that are 20 AUs off plane. Good luck finding them.
and?!?
not like i ALLREADY can create those spots with observator probes. and not like i can use the same observators to find those spots. it just requires ZERO skill but ****LOADS of patience. and not worth it if you allready know that once you get within 1au with probes they will just log out anyway. or warp to another spot. i have retrieved abandoned ships from spots like those more than one time.
and btw pls take the time to read my whole post BEFORE answering next time. it was all in there allready. thx

Forgive me if I'm missing something about how probes work, but don't those things have a maximum range? If I place a bookmark in such a way that it is beyond the best probe's maximum range from any other object in the system, how can you find it?
there is one probe which has unlimited range. the observator probe. it also happens to scan in full 3d which all other probes do NOT. this probe is ofc even less accurate than a 192au one BUT this fact makes it great to create offgrid safes. just scan for a random left behind shuttle/noobship few times and the inaccuracy will make the result a nice SS. also this probe ofc requires some high rank useless skill at lvl5 to work.
