Hey,
Now we are live on Singularity, this will be the official thread for feedback relating to the probe and directional scanning UI and UX changes.
Lots of changes have happened. If you missed the dev blog it can be found here: Scanning UI and UX devblog February 2017
There were some things we missed from the blog as we were working on them or they were not ready.
The following has also been changed and is live on Singularity along with everything in the blog: New Sounds Directional Scan Hologram Improvements to Directional Scan shape tracking and moving Directional scan shape bracket highlighting Current nebula in solar system map Site Difficulty
Known Issues:
- Some users directional scanner will not open properly, clearing settings will resolve the issue
- Ordering of highlighted brackets in the d-scan cone can cause brackets in the scan cone to not be highlighed
Bug Reporting: If you experience any issues please submit a bug report. You can find more information about submitting a bug report here: Bug Reporting
We look forward to your feedback on all the changes.

Legion40k wrote:Soo.. are we supposed to have the 'Try the new map' option checked or unchecked to test this out?
As it stands it's only loading the really old scanning UI and I can't seem to find a way to open the new one regardless of that option being checked or not. Looking forward to testing this out! edit - it's working now!! omg this is awesome Alrighty so a couple things off the bat now it works:-
- ALT+SCROLLWHEEL to adjust the probe scan radius is reversed of that on TQ. confusing the hell outta me.
- where is the clickable button to open the system map? F9 is great and all, but clicking is fast if you're trying to tab in and out of fullscreen fast
- placing the probe controls at the bottom of the Probe Scanner window (likewise, placing the Directional Scan button wayyyy at the bottom of the window massively increases mouse travel across the screen to click it when tabbing between Probe/Directional windows (yes a bit old school to have them in the same frame)
- can we get the appearance of bookmark pins to stack with each other a bit less easily?
- pressing 'C' to Directional Scan a location on the system scanner works for most icons but not bookmarks, whereas holding down left-click on a bookmark let's you aim the Directional Scan at it
loving it so far though
Glad to see it is working :)
Will take a look at all these tomorrow.
For Directional Scanner you should use V now.

Raphendyr Nardieu wrote:Yey. It's working.. Sum things I found out:
- When moving system with right click, the system moves slowly. I think it should be stuck to the mouse as these kind of thigns always are (same for rotating the camera). Of course for double click or other not directly player controlled movements animation is good.
- F9 doesn't remember opened probe window or d.-scan
- If signature and probe moving arrow are on top of each other both will receive click/drag events
- Tooltip for analyze says that you need probes to be able to (presume this is tooltip for the launch action)
- If probes are analyzing alt+scroll makes zoom action (I think it should ignore the command)
- alt+scroll works the wrong way around. Scroll wheel direction that moves system away from the camera (smaller etc) makes probe radius bigger (I think it should make them smaller) (Also, this works now differently to how it does on TQ currently)
- same for ctrl+scroll, it works to different direction than on TQ
- I think thre could be option to disable the circle around objects that are in d-scan range. It's handy feature, but might sometimes add too much to the view (compare to options about what objects to show on the map at all)
- EBR-112919: I could probe down mobile depot with sisters core probes (but not ships)
- Button to set your probes in middle of the sun (if you took them accidentally out of system)
Good stuff too :)
- I like the symbols in direction and probe scanners. At least in d-scan it makes way faster to notice different ships. Also 8 Scanner Probe named "Probe" ships doesn't fool so easily.
- Scan progress when shown only to the selected is create!
- Line between two possible results is amazing (though system could automatically filter the another one out. Don't know what ancient program my future space ship is using as it can't make this super simple task.
Overall it's really good direction! Good job!
Great feedback!
Will check it all out tomorrow bring it up with the team.

i do some testing with probe strength
probe scaner window shows wrong difrent value of probe strength
i try Striatios without anythig and value of probe strength in probe scaner window, and check by fiiting window -> show charge info on probes laucher is the same
Striatos with mid grade virtue + omega +10% implant, show at charge info at proble laucher in fiiting window are correct, but value of probe stenght at probe scaner window are incorrect, much smaller, i dont know that this have effect during scaning but it show inccorect numbers
the same problem with t3 cruisers, i try it with thengu and there is the same problem, addition to this i check with and without scaning bonus implants that probe scaner window dont show scaning bonus from dedicated subsystem in this two cases
Thanks for looking into this. If you could raise a bug though the game client (f12 to open the help menu, then select Report Bug) with some screenshots of what you see we'll investigate further. |

Drives me nuts!
There are OFF-buttons on some signatures which are not over- or underlined - do they turn off the signature?
It doesn't seem like they do, they do nothing when clicked.
Why does that d-scan thing have to use orange-ish colors instead of snow-white like it does now?
Do I have to retrain my eyes to see it properly too?
Orange-ish on grey-ish background will cause eye cancer and I have perfect 130/125% vision.
This is strange - D-scan should be green, not orange. Submit a bug with some screenshots of what you see and we'll look into this. Also definitely include a screenshot of what you mean by OFF-buttons, thanks! |

Thanks - but please raise a bug. It's great you're taking the time to let us know about this, but we need issues like this to be submitted as bugs through the game client to have the best chance of solving them. You can submit a bug in the game through the Help menu (F12). |

Lothros Andastar wrote:Posting more for a friend than myself, but in any case:
Please don't remove the ability to resize the probes by clicking their edges completely. At least give a toggle to enable it. My friend has only one arm (amputated at the shoulder) and is incapable of using the keyboard and mouse at the same time, thus is physically incapable of pressing Alt or Control and using the scrollwheel at the same time.
Granted, in this particular case, he has a mouse with multiple thumb buttons and is able to bind a side button to Alt and Control to assist him, but needing to rebind mouse keys to keyboard keys should not be forced on anyone. Anyone who has a basic 2 clicks+scrollwheel mouse, which I assume is what the majority of people would use to begin with, and happens to have some form of handicap making them unable to use keyboard and mouse simultaneously are essentially locked out of ever scanning.
We appreciate you raising this with us, how the system can be used with one hand was something we talked about during the redesign. The new slider that's been added to the Probe Scanner window should enable your friend to be able to resize probes. If they have any trouble though we'd love to hear from them, and this forum thread would be the best place for them to leave some feedback. |

JonDoh wrote:Is this still the place to give feedback on the directional scanner changes now that they have gone live? Currently this thread is in the test server section, but I couldn't find a more appropriate thread to reply to in the other sections.
The only thing I want is to be able to use the "Directional Scan" hotkey with the old directional scanner. A viable alternative would be to use the new directional scanner if I could git rid of the visualization and shrink the window much smaller.
I don't need the visualization. It doesn't help me. It is an obnoxious and annoying waste of screen space. I would use the new d-scan if I could turn the visualization off and shrink the window. When faced with the choice between using too much of my screen or having to manually click I gota chose to click. Do you know you can undock the probe and directional scanners from the solar system map and have both windows open without the solar system map appearing?
There should be a little square in the title bar when they are docked.
