No.

It's already far to easy to evade prober's and pirates, this would make it even harder from them

I bet your bots would have it a lot easier if it was on auto repeat. (if you want, replace "bots" with "non-effort grinders", it's essentially the same thing anyway).

bots use server information, thye dont use the Dscan nor local window

Poor serverGǪ

I live in a wormhole, so of course using DScan is second nature. Would an auto DScan thing make it easier? Yeah, sure. Is that a good thing? No, not really. There's supposed to be an element of danger out there. If you can't handle clicking DScan to give you the 14AU intel you want when you need it, perhaps you're not ready for anything outside of high sec yet.

ccp should introduce probes that do it for you. probes you can drop wherever you are gonna hang out at. expire timer just like normal probes, configurable so you can set the timer on it. cant be picked up once launched and needs a high slot to launch to make sure you pay a price for using them.

its not the the fact thats its annoying to constantly hit that d scan every, almost all the time, its all the needless clicking/strain it can put your fingers/hand after long periods of time. i dont like botters but if ccp doesnt fix this, i dont see why people just wont create macros for it.

I support this idea. Hey this is a sci-fi game, a scanner running permanently is not that far fetched.

You tear harvesters starting to cry because numb rescanning gets easier for people? Go one step further, let a sound play when something new appears on DScan or make new entries bright green background which dissolves with every scan cycle, say after 10 seconds of scanning it's 'old' and not highlighted any more.

I'd also support putting local into delayed mode everywhere.

Would be awesome imo if they finally nerfed 0.0 local and brought in a totally redesigned d-scanner.

Give it a mode where it auto scans but is lower range and you can't pick up probes.

Give it a mode that can pick up cloaked ships but scan takes much longer to complete.

So many interesting things they could do.

The only thing it would break is afk cloaking imo.

And thus you reveal your ignorance. Let the education commence.

I dwell in a 'hole. For better or worse, my corp is kill-happy. We often have a cloaked scout sitting and watching things, at the keyboard, relaying intel. Barring biobreaks and suchlike, that cloaky can be out and about for a couple of hours. Even sat stationary for better than an hour. Any proposed probes/d-scan/whatever sweep that breaks cloak hurts active players as well.

Now you know.

Hell, we've had cloaked intel inside holes we're planning to assault for weeks or longer on end gathering intel needed for a successful op. With the nerf to wormhole jump intel data (as in... it's gone now...) this becomes even more important. The only way we'll be able to determine active timezones, pilots, etc. is through direct, cloaked observation.

how about an semi automatic? click once and it automates for the next 20? 30 sec?

Y/N? pls discuss
