First of all as explained above, activity is rewarded or rather laziness should not be rewarded. Secondly it's a server thing. If everyone would always use Dscan, as it's automated, that would require a whole lot more server cpu and data.
The majority of people do not need Dscan for the majority of the time, thus it's not automated.

At any given time only very few people run Dscan, now picture everyone doing it all the time. Then picture a 1000 man fleet against another 1000 man fleet, they normally don't use Dscan because it's not needed, that's what the scouts are for. If automated they all use Dscan all the time and it'll grind that node to a halt, N+1 messes this up massively.
If you don't understand how this would be a big deal in regards to server CPU then you should probably start to question your own logic, reasoning and knowledge. |

Why don't you just stop voicing your mistaken statements, baseless assumptions and hilarious demands for game design changes, if you realise that you don't know wth you're talking about.

What would be REALLY scary is a Dscan we can't control and only updates every 5 seconds. That would make PvP much more chaotic. You should become a dev. Haha I hate spamming dscan and something like that would be epic.
You don't understand, what he (and someone earlier posting "yes, please do this") means is about how 5 seconds isn't fast enough when it really matters, in that specific case you need to us it MUCH more often which if it would be automated would create even more strain on the server. So if automated it would make everyone Dcan all the time which would be a problem for the server to begin with and in times you actually need it the 5 second cycle would be too slow anyway.
This is another reason for my "don't ask for game design changes if you don't know enough on the subject" reply to the OP earlier. |

It is a strain but it's needed for normal game play, Dscan is not and thus it's not automated. It's really not difficult to understand if you have a few braincells. |

So it's a strain, but the game apparently works just fine? Then it isn't a strain. You don't know what you are talking about.
It's a strain that CCP, over the years, has accounted for and upgraded their servers and infrastructure for given that it's a basic UI element of the game, which Dscan isn't.
