I agree with the red cone idea, but it should only be visible once the scanner window is being displayed, once minimised/closed it should not be visible.
Also on the subject of GUI, could we have the main console area (armor/shield/modules etc) moveable, I have my overview all the way to the bottom. But if i am using a full 8 high slots, it interfears with my overview. But yet on the left on the console there is nothing. so moving its about 6 cms to the left would make it better for me :)

Please bring it back, the new map is pretty and all but not workable in PVP settings.

Please put the radar back on there!
Directional scanning seems kind of pointless without it

It's very easy to switch into the solarsystem map, orient your camera in the direction you want to scan (and if you're worried about imminent combat) switch out again. What's more, this is better than the radar display because you can actually see your orientation in all three dimensions. Where's the problem?
Meanwhile your overview is still there, so you can watch out for incoming bad guys, and your safespot BMs are visible on the map right in front of you in case you need to right-click for a quick getaway.
And removing the radar screen means you can resize the scanner window to take up about a quarter of the space it did before, which in turn means you can leave it open full time.
I see both the solarsystem map and an always open scanner window as great tools to improve and widen my situational awareness.
It'd be nice to have a scanner cone option though.

...because if you're in the map you can't see your ship and you can't get close enough to do individual belts/moons/areas of space. You need to be able to scan from your ship to get a truly acurate scan.
It didn't matter that the 'radar' was 2d because you were only ever using that as a reference to what direction you were looking and where abouts you were in the system in relation to other celestial objects.
The normal view is where all the scanning happens, you point the camera and adjust the range/degree accordingly, you can't do this properly while in the map. It takes too long and its too inacurate.

I like the new scanner its superb,and you can see CCP have put much love into making it,so thanks.
In the context of this thread,I have to agree the mini scanner was superb for taking quick rapid snapshots in hunting down belters,and slowpokers.
Now its gone its role cannot be covered by the new map,it is just too slow and cumbersome for these rapid scans,granted with probes it comes into its own,but for fast work it doesnt cut it.

They replaced that bespectacled hunchbacked radar scanner man with the Hawaiian Tropic System Map Bikini Team. I'm good with how it is now. :)

To sum it up, CCP, why did you fix what wasn't broken.
Janks understands why it was changed, but Janks also knows theres different playstyles to please, and the Pirates and anti Pirates liked the old way!
Make it a button to switch it back and forth, and he will pay more child support for his kids.

The directional scanner is an incomplete tool. If you don't know where you are, what direction you're scanning in, and the arc of your scan cone, then you effectivly have a borked tool.
The simplist solution is to add a transparent scanning cone in the solar system view map and the F11 maps.
I can't believe this got passed QA and the month long public test.
...and yes, we do sell and deliver ammo. 425 Express Delivery is available upon request, please see Hans Gates and Marcus Grisbius regarding this option. |

I've seen a lot of unhappy hunters in the forums mourning the loss of the radar scanner man now, I'm sure someone from CCP has noticed. Would be really nice to hear what they think of this.
A simple "perhaps.." or "the what man?" would do!

Bring back Radar Scanning Man.
The new map is useless for a quick scan during fights.
