CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 229	Posted - 2015.04.28 10:03:17 - [1] - Quote Hello everyone, I would like to clarify a few things. - While we do not consider the new map to be in beta after today's release, it is still very much a work in progress. The old map will not be removed until we are absolutely sure it has been made obsolete by the new one. Today's change in this regard is only to enable it for everyone by default. The old map is still opened if you press F10 or click the old map neocom icon (which is now in the menu rather than on the bar by default). Ctrl+F10 still opens the new map. - Unless you disable the new map in the ESC menu, clicking 'Show in map' buttons in various windows and the 'Map' button in the probe scanning window will now open the new map rather than the old. - The map will now properly remember its position and angle after every use. This will hopefully stop people being annoyed at the map not being turned the right way. - Inertia and mouse pointer are still things we hope to improve on, but not in today's release. Same with D-scan and tactical overlay. Performance issues on lower end machines will also be addressed soon.

It is not user friendly having to toggle on and off abstract layout when scanning a system. -I am glad how data is presented in being changed at the star map level, but when focused on a system, the halos and glows should be hidden. Is this planned? A focused system in k-space should look identical to a focused wh system (very clean, no glows, no GIANT HALO). -Is the star going to be brought back into the system view? Fixed, soon, soon. Xerxes Fehrnah wrote: For probing, I never use the new map, because the results are difficult to see. The new map never opens tot the system you are in. You have to click the target button to get it there. It is also inverted and shows the Northwest as the South. These issues should be (mostly) fixed today. Please try probing after today's downtime. The map will now remember where you are, and at what angle it should be. Altrue wrote: - Too much celestials stacking in solar system zoom-level. One single circle with a million ))))))))))))))) under it, is not helping... Labels can be toggled on and off at the top of the map.

CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 239	Posted - 2015.05.05 10:46:34 - [3] - Quote Hello everyone! Once again, thanks for all the great feedback Just wanted to let you guys know that we are deploying a patch today that will address a few of the glaring bugs with the map, and in particular probing. We are still not up to par with the old map but we are making progress. Patch notes are here.

The map is so laggy that the bookmarks all appear at the end of a run for midpoints. Basically unusable, although it is pretty and I want to like it. Hi, could you please elaborate on this? Screenshots would be appreciated as well

I do (not) appreciate your experimenting around, but a fix is in order. Could you please reproduce this error, then file an in-game bug report directly afterwards (press F12)? Thanks in advance! gastonn 2timesix wrote: sorry , maybe i just miss something but i dont see how to find pirates npc 's stations in nullsec with this new beta map ... is just me ? thanks This is working fine for me. Using the 'Station' marker I am able to see the 2 pirate stations in 6NJ8-V. Please feel free to elaborate on the issue if I am misunderstanding

Yes. We hope to add it again at some point in the future however. Just another reason to keep using the old (reliable / working / fully functioning) map. This does not exist in the old map either I believe.

Unflatten your map, board a ship with a Jump Drive and there you have: http://www.schildwall.info/assets/basics/mining/screens/qualle/map_jumprange.png Apologies, you are absolutely right I-¦ll see if we can add this to the new map as well. Thanks!

Please feel free to elaborate on the issue if I am misunderstanding maybe i m misunderstanding too ,but in the beta map i cant just see all "empire &pirate faction" 's stations as in the normal map : it is very helpfull when you want to dock in null after you used "marker station" what you check to find this you can dock in null ? ( pirate one ) thanks http://imgur.com/a/tXtvo Please take a look at these screenshots. The first one shows how to turn on the station marker, and the second shows how you can mouse over the marker popup to warp/align/dock.

Very inconvenient for setting bookmarks mid-warp 2) Probe and signature icons get in the way everytime i try to click on the arrows and cube to reposition my probes. Why not simply mark probe locations with the old green dots. If i need to rearrange my probes i have shift and alt. And signature icons are rather large, honestly. Anyway. Thanks for the new map. It's almost fleshed out. Hey, Could you maybe file a bug report for point 1 with as many details as possible regarding exactly what you are doing when it bugs out? And how does it bug out? Point 2 is being worked on. o7 CCP Turtlepower

If you click on the 'Focus Current Location' button at the top, then yes.
