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 |

Does this mean I can ping any wt/pimp ship as they exit the station and then just hunt down that signature even after it left the system? Mashie Saldana Dominique Vasilkovsky

Good changes, thanks.
Will there be any bug fixes in this iteration, in particular, the bug where none of the probe spheres are visible? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

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 |

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 |

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.

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) Well I could if I had 10.8. The bug only appears on users of 10.8. Its just that our IT department is slowly pushing out 10.8 to the Mac users and I might get it any day. And when I do it would be nice if this bug was fixed.
Also, I just do not like the idea of other users having to deal with bugs.
Edit: The keeping of information will be quite nice. When I explore I bypass wormhole sites. As soon as I get sufficient strength to see its a WH, I move on to the next signal. It will be nice for the game to remember which sites Ive scanned out to WHs for me. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

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.

Where are the custom formations saved? If I make a super awesome set of 4 custom formations, do I have to manually reproduce them for anyone else who wants them?
Random thought: would it be possible to allow the formations or overview settings to be saved as in game items like bookmarks? DirectX 11, it's not rocket appliance! |

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 |

1. CCP Guard you should be ashamed of that pun!
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? |

Looks good, +1 for coming through with promises to add custom formations and keep improving. Probing is in good shape.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Huge flaw:
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?!
Boldly go where no man has gone before... |

Well that would be rather useful, since by the time I'm done looping around a constellation I would like to know if any new sigs popped up without having to re-scan the old ones or manually enter the sig names and type into a notepad (followed by manually checking the list). Regardless, I'm happy with the change! (not so much the pun) |

Until you turn it into savable information by making a bookmark all the ships computer has is a state of quantum entanglement. Docking causes the quantum entanglement to lose coherence. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

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 |

Unfortunately the only way to tell one from the other is to go to their home and look at their computer. It would be nice for CCP to add an in-game way to distinguish between these two. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

If you have more than one formation saved, the only way to find out which of them is active is to move you mouse over the "custom formation" icon and wait for the tooltip. Can you make the active formation in the list bold or italic or something? |

1st The ability to snap the move to a celestial. 2nd The ability to set where they will be before deploying out. 3rd The ability to create a bookmark wherever they are. |
