I have a suggestion for a little feature - how about a keyboard shortcut and a separate UI control for the size of the probe spheres? The current method of pointing the mouse to the edge of one of the spheres can sometimes be fiddly, but if you were to ADD (not substitute) a keyboard shortcut and/or a slider (a la dscan range control) in the UI, that would be great.

I'm thinking up/down arrow, or page-up/page-down to change probe sphere size up (16AU to 32AU, for example) or down (16AU to 8AU for example).

• When launching probes in a new system, the position arrows/box will appear in the location where they were last recalled. This can make them needlessly hard to find when scanning a small system after a big one such as Thera. Can the position controls appear in the place the probes are launched?(i.e. at the location of the scanning ship).


• The RETURN key is fairly far from where hands rest while scanning (mouse/left side of the keyboard) . To minimize movement, SPACEBAR feels like a more comfortable shortcut. I guess this can be subjective so the ability to customize it would be ideal.


• It would be great if you could allow resizing of the probe formation via ALT+mouse scroll, or ALT+drag. Having to click cones all the time is annoying.


• This one has always been a problem (also in the old map): When moving your probe formation around, sometimes you might accidentally click one of the arrows that is facing you, displacing the whole thing hundreds of AU towards or away from you. Is it possible to hide these arrows that are on the axis you are looking from?


• Very often the 'You are here' icon will incorrectly appear at the sun's location.

Thanks for the hard work!

[quote=CCP Goliath]On the topic of keyboard shortcuts, it seems you moved the signature list out of the map window, which is odd, as they now compete for screen real estate. I personally though that having the list in the map window was a great solution if you then made the map side collapsible. There aren't that many scenarios where you'd want your probe controls open and the map closed.

It also leads into my main comment: moving probes n the map now unfocuses the probe control window, and hitting enter thus no longer works unless you click on it first, defeating the point. Any chance this change might be reverted back to the combined window?

only one suggestion about camera tracking related with dscan: enable camera tracking while hitting bookmarks in people&places
