I'm a max skilled cov ops and probe guy. This is third, I believe, major overhaul of the probing system. I sat down with an open mind to see what they came up with. It has been a struggle.
The overall idea is fine. But man is this UI frustrating. (Not all that good looking either.) I can't see through all the clutter. Too much clutter. I feel I'm doing a pixel hunt moving the boxes around. I am unable to get the view I need to see what I want. Having the camera reset to the box I click on, is not sufficient. The boxes at least need to toggle on and off. All of them together. Frankly the existing transparent bubbles on TQ, are good looking and easy to see through.
- Reduce the size of the arrow box
- As others have stated, give us a command to warp those things AFTER were done playing with em.
- Re-color or do somethng about the transparency of the widgets.
- Recalled probes will not return to cargo, if ship is moving. Is this intended?
So far its been: drop probes, carefully try to move a widget, but oh, don't let go of the mouse button or the @#&% thing will warp off. OK, I got it set. Scan. No results. Huh? Reset camera view a few times. Geeze... I'm 70 AUs off where I thought I was. Rinse, repeat. Ok, I got it. Now I can't see anything but stacked boxes. You get the idea.... If this was going to stay pvp or a mini profession, I suppose we'd all deal with it. But this is for the whole player base. EVE is a great game, but this is still a bit rough.
And, red circle? Haven't we already been down this road? I have minor color issues, and I can't see it.

I've been having the bubbles move whenever check/uncheck teh active button. I already bugged it.
This.
Checking and unchecking the active button resets the sphere graphic back to its original position. The probe icon remains where you put it. Move the graphic back over the icon, and the probe rewarps. So where's the probe? On the icon? On the graphic sphere? Should we just guess? Is this intended? Uncheck and then check the "active" box once more, and everything resets again. *Maybe I'll go spend a couple of days playing with the ship fitting tool, I hear that's fun. Probing is a mess.
