For those...probing the internet for cool stuff to read today, probe no further. CCP Tuxford is here to tell you all about the upcoming improvements to probe scanning in the soon-to-be-released Odyssey 1.1.
We will of course be...probing this thread for feedback so don't be shy! CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |-á@ccp_guard |

No the signatures have not changed, just the information of the group/type being retained by the UI. CCP Paradox | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Super Friends @CCP_Paradox |

Vincent Athena wrote:Good changes, thanks.
Will there be any bug fixes in this iteration, in particular, the bug where none of the probe spheres are visible?
You are referring to the Mac OSX client right? I will see if I can find out if our Mac partner Transgaming has the fix in this client. (You can also try out Singularity) CCP Paradox | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Super Friends @CCP_Paradox |

works pretty much the same way as always except you no longer have to note down the signature. I belief the itemID to signature is a unique mapping with no random element so yes you probably could but then again you always could have done that. It's just a little easier now https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Tuxford/StatusUpdates |

JTK Fotheringham wrote:This is pretty cool. Thanks. But... Quote:Cosmic Anomalies and Cosmic Signatures are no longer removed from results
These results used to be populated when you entered the system and when you started scanning we would only show the ones which the probes were in range of. This was a bit odd behavior since you could get those results back by re-logging or jumping in and out of the system. Does this mean there'll be annoying big red bubbles from un-scanned sigs each pass until everything is scanned down? I'm weird, I hate red bubbles is all. /JTK
The signatures in the map only appear if you have them selected in the probe scanner results, just select the signatures you are interested, or ignore sigs you do not care about.

Random thought: would it be possible to allow the formations or overview settings to be saved as in game items like bookmarks?
I really, really hate the idea of saving information as items. I do agree with the ability to share stuff with your fellow pilots but I don't think items is a convenient way to do it. These are saved locally and not in any nice format you can easily import or export sadly. https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Tuxford/StatusUpdates |

2. Does this mean if I scan a signature to see its type, leave the system, and come back, the signature will still show its type? Actually thinking about it then no because we purge all the data when we switch systems. https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Tuxford/StatusUpdates |

1. Scan anomaly up to 64% 2. Dock to the station 3. Undock to continue scanning - progress is back to 0%
Same goes even if you scan up to 100% and dock without "saving location" manually It will reset the scan.
On-board computers on spaceships can't save information ?! Really?!
I mostly agree with you but this was just a minor client side logic to ease the use of probe scanning. Once you start persisting scans over location changes you have to account for that anything can happen while you were gone, most importantly the site you scanned down might have despawned. Not an unsolvable task but a lot more complex than remembering group and type information of signatures. https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Tuxford/StatusUpdates |

I agree they really should be. I play on two computers as well so I feel your pain. We used the standard way we save settings this time because it really didn't make sense to make a special setting that was persisted on the server. We should solve this problem in a general manner but it was way out of scope for this little iteration. https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Tuxford/StatusUpdates |

Pantson Head wrote:It seems to be the case from the statement that "you can have up to 8 probes..." in custom formations but I would like clarification that I could have a formation of just one probe or easily launch just one probe, as my biggest gripe with scanning now is the inability to easily launch a single probe. Also, if talking about exploration sites isn't off topic here, can you do something about a scatter can being wasted if the first thing you pick up is something like a hundred auxiliary parts and they fill up your cargo hold? Right now if your hold is full you can't pick up anything you tractor in and it's a bit much to ask that we spend time doing inventory management while we're chasing down the little containers. If it's a time-sensitive thing that you're going for, then please somehow make it so the random nature of what we get from an individual scattering can doesn't combine with cargo hold limits to waste our time.
Yes, you can configure the formation to any number, up to and including 8. So if you have a three probe formation that happens to scan three stargates in a system - you can save this out like any other.
Exploration Sites, you might want to post over on the Features & Ideas forum, or Test Server Feedback forum. CCP Paradox | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Super Friends @CCP_Paradox |
