it is entirely dependent on how many sigs there are and to a lesser extent how large the system is. and as previously stated, scanning a shattered system (whilst less often than conventional systems) takes substantially longer - largely due to the stack of gas sites that remain.
I agree there is a fine line between dumbing things down too much and making things enjoyable as a game. However, it does take substantial time to scan and the burden tends to fall on a few rather than the wider corp (at least that is what i have observed).
I'm not so sure about claims to say it will make wspace more populated, but it should make it easier to find content / deal with logistics - i see that as a positive. |

in the spirit of adding some actual data to this thread:
I scanned a small C2 with 18 sigs today and it took about 12 minutes.
there were 4 WH (other than the in WH, 2x C1, 1x C2, 1x HS), and the rest was predominantly a lot of data sites...
- the ship used was anathema with a full t2 scanning fit (including one t2 scan rig), using sister core probes.
- the pilot is a maxed covops pilot 5, with all scan skills to 5.
- I was using the standard pinpoint probe config for most of it, and focusing on celestials... (i've tried other probe layouts with no real improvement on the standard probe layouts)
I could have gained a bit of time by being a bit more manic, and spending a bit more on faction probe launcher and probes may help a bit - but i don't see how i could have got it down to half that time. |

interesting, so aside from probe layout what ship and probes are you using? i assume this could be improved with a t3, but honestly haven't looked into it.

so i assume probe formation then... i'm familiar with a concept to have one large AU probe with several others within. but ill put my hands up and say i tried some of the others, but i've never got it working that well! |

i'll give it a spin, i'm guessing the sister launcher, RSS probes and prospector implants are required. |

no. just double checking the parameters for testing - i'm more interested in making sure i'm doing things right before jumping to any conclusions.
i'll be the first to admit that initial tests have shown improvement identifying wh sigs from others, and im still getting to grips with optimising the process with that probe layout... locking them down to 100% still seems faster with pinpoint formation (but that could be me). the fact it comes at the price of around 350 mil doesn't really phase me. |

rough price break down is (to be fair, i didnt really check for wild jita market fluctuations):
160 for RSS probes
100 for implants (3x scanning prospector +6% at 30 a pop)
40 or so for sister expanded probe thingy
50 or so for rest of ship (anathema, rigs n remaining mods)
taking donations for virtue set :)
