Thank you, Hiljah Not that I know of, sorry! Thanks. Glad to hear you play and scan in a wormhole. Is there any chance the cursor could be changed? If not, another option would be to add axis locking hotkeys. For example, grab the cursor anywhere, hold x to move along x axis. The use case for "destroy probes" is to quickly hide them from other people's d-scan, but I really don't think anyone uses this.
Also, if it's a question of resources, I'll dev and test both options for free. |

I find the latter point interesting too - a few people have asked for the map controls to be "popout" when the map goes into fullscreen - what do people think about that?
Will do once I'm back at my gaming PC (week after next). map controls popout, hmm interesting, would need to try it and probably stack it with something else. Also the current way in the old map is quite OK.

No, it doesn't autoupdate when changing angle or range, like before. If I'm home, i'll submit a bug-Report.

We just pushed out some fixes for the scanner. You'll need to restart your clients (and launcher, if you're using the non-beta launcher) to get them if you're logged in at time of post.
Notes are:
Deleting custom filters now works as intended and does not delete the last filter in the list Ignoring signatures will now correctly cause all other unignored signatures to appear in the solar system map Cosmic signatures will all continue to display in the Solar System map if all were displaying and one is right clicked Signature list will no longer snap to the top of the list after each scan/refresh HUD is now visible on top of the Solar System map when in fullscreen mode Bindable Zoom hotkeys now function correctly in the Solar System map Probe Scanner filter hotkeys will now only apply if the window is active or if the mouse is held over it. As a result, Save Location will now work correctly when numbers 1-5 are used in the name of a location Directional Scanner visualisation is now toggleable via the Solar System Map Probe Scanner window now obeys transparency and pinning settings

Please, please, get rid of the giant paddle-style location markers. They're more visually obstructive than the old brackets, their cursor-grabbing tar pit effect covers a wider area, and they're strangely offset from the actual locations they mark. It's also disconcerting to see them pop in and out when rotating the map, due to their excessive snap-together radius. |

Reposting some feedback I feel strongly about since the thread to post feedback in keeps changing:
CCP Goliath wrote:iwannadig wrote:When using 8 probe tight formation one probe is always at center of positioning cube making extremely hard to move it, because cursor always selects probe instead of the cube side. Probe selection must be optional with default set to OFF. I recommend removing Probes from your Markers list in the top left of the window. You can still manipulate the probes as you could before.
Have you considered that if people are widely complaining about something and you yourself had to workaround it by changing your settings in a way that reduces functionality, it is in fact a genuine issue that needs to be addressed, not a problem with the user's settings? This would be completely resolved by giving probe controls absolute priority for hovering and clicking. Ignore all markers under the probe controls (still display them, but no tooltips or ability to select them),
On another note, I feel like the dscan camera lock could use a hotkey, and the menu bar is too thick. It's thicker than the gap that windows snap to near the edge of the screen to allow off camera brackets to show, so the title bars of other windows can get in the way of operating the menu in full screen mode. |

CCP Goliath wrote:Cara Forelli wrote: 1) When the dscan is locked to the camera view you can't center your view on anything else but your ship. That's very painful. Generally I will find a target at a cluster of stuff, warp closer to get a better angle, and do another scan. With the old map I could double click on my warpin and start lining up my next scan while travelling. Now I have to wait until my ship has accelerated/warped/decelerated before I can even start lining up my next scan. Those seconds really matter when you're hunting a moving target.
2) A bug I think - when I use a hotkey (default F9) to bring up the solar system map (in fullscreen mode) the focus becomes locked on the map and won't let me click any other windows (to manipulate dscan sliders, interact with overview, etc.) Instead I just end up rotating the map view. This did not happen when using the map icon in the scan window, just with the hotkey (which I rebound and did not try using the default F9).
1. We've gotten a fair bit of feedback about this and it's been raised with the developer. I would think the likely approach will be to move the d-scan camera lock button outside of its menu to be more easily clickable on the fly. 2. That does sound like a bug! Not one I can replicate myself though, would you do me the service of supplying a bug report?
1. That doesn't sound like a great fix for my use case, because I am warping around the system specifically to dscan. I don't want to have to toggle my dscan on and off (via camera lock) between scans just so I can warp around. The old map used a camera lock style dscan and still allowed for centering on any object. (This did lead to some funky scans when you weren't centered on your own position, but I consider that user error). Toggling off the camera lock will probably slow me down even more than the current situation so I probably wouldn't use that fix much.
2. I submitted a bug report (filed under technical EBR-53989). After replicating it seems to only have occurred on the second use of the rebound hotkey (which was a mouse button if that makes any difference).
Thanks!

your probe scanning UI is more annoying than the old one.
I mean, you seem to be pretty learn resistant, you havent learned anything from the original interfaces flaws?! You constantly click into objects in process of moving/scaling probes, which is totally nerve killing, still flat arrows for moving probes up and down. WHY? Why did you even put any effort into this pile of garbage when you basically made things worse?
HIRE SOME HALFWAYS CAPABLE UI DESIGNERS! I mean this totally serious, not joking. |

Thanks for the detailed feedback
1. We will not be backporting any functionality to the old map, but the point about icons is a good one. I'll raise it with CCP Colgate tomorrow and see if we can do something here.
2. If you are having performance issues with the map, please do submit a bug report so we can get your computer specs and settings. That's the best way for us to plan optimisations. Don't worry though, this is not "final form"
3&4. These should be fixed in the update going out tomorrow, to the best of my knowledge. We didn't change the font, but made the background match the scheme you've chosen, so readability should be markedly improved.
5. Try adjusting your Tooltip Delay a tiny bit in the General Settings menu. This help me immensely in this regard. Also make sure you are using Markers to remove things you don't need to care about (e.g. Probes, Belts, etc.). It is something we're monitoring though.
1. Refusal to backport any new features is a worrying trend, because of the history of failed revisions of systems in EVE. The old map and old scanning systems are still far better and more functional than anything the new features offer.
2. I have submitted bug reports but honestly the lag is extremely widespread and easy to catch. Look, someone even posted a youtube video of it for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjKsNTCy4aY&feature=youtu.be You don't get anywhere near that amount of lag with the old map.

I used to have several custom filters in the old map. When I tried the new map, I thought that the old filters are preventing the new default filters from showing up and from working. Today I tested deleting all the old custom filters, but that didn't help. See this screenshot: http://imgur.com/X7Mf0jX

I am finding the new interface extremely hard to use. Each of my probes in space has a large area around it which if I click it will warp the camera there: "Probe 11", "Probe 13" etc.
The problem is that from most angles, these circles overlap with the cube that I am trying to click on to move it around in space. I just keep clicking the probe circles. I don't want to be able to select the probes, at all. They're useless, and they keep getting in my way to the point where I am hating scanning.
Also, I can no longer scan on the old map, at all. The blue sphere does not appear, the cube does not appear. Scanning on the old map is impossible.
Please give me a way to make the probes non-selectable, and I'll be good. Until then I will loathe scanning. It has gone from a quick, simple, painless task to a ghastly, horrible, fiddly chore; a fight against a UI that I do not want to use.
Please take my feedback into account, and give us back a pain-free scanning interface. Thank you.

That means, when I have both the DScan and scanning windows stacked into the same window and I activate or switch to the DScan window it will automatically switch to the scanning window when I jump through a gate.
This behavior is rather annoying since I have to get back to the DScan window every time. This has actually been an issue for a really long time, but many seem to be noticing it more with these changes. I've been pressuring to get some developer traction on a fix.
I've not come across the 'bug' before, but it seems to be the default behaviour now. And I am not noticing it more, it didn't happen at all before. As a WHer, the last thing I do before I jump out of a wormhole and the first thing I do when I jump in to a wormhole is hit DScan. I have had DScan and Probing stacked for years and do not recall ever having to change back to DScan after jumping in. |

The new probing window is a step in the right direction, but it still needs a lot of work.
The biggest issue with the new probing UI is that it is slow and sluggish. For lazy days probing, that would be ok, but overall, it is too slow to use efficiently. |

- Formation cube is too hard to select and drag. It feels like everything else has priority.
- Bookmarks do not get removed when changing system.
- Ring results relation to the actual location seems tenuous at best.
- Why the recent obsession with removing colour from the UI? First the Neocom, now this. Put it back please. |

Scanning is a simple application, please leave it as such since all we want out of it is speed. The current version works very well for this.
About the only addition that you could make to improve the current scanning is adding the short cut for Scan.
While I appreciate that you are correct that scanning and speed are importantly intertwined, leaving it as it is is not on the menu, sorry. Please engage with our new feature set (which has a scan shortcut!) and help us make it the interface you want to use in the future.

I have a question though:
Have you touched scanning mechanics (the math behind it) somehow? I have the strong feeling that it is harder to get results after patch (max skills / full mid-grade virtue clone / rss probes). Funny thing is that it seems especially to be true for the easy sigs that I was able to get an instant hit with 4 AU diameter before.
To add - I would be extremely happy if you made/make probing harder, so this is by no way a complaint.
We haven't touched it at all, but with Brain in a Box it is totally possible that there is something going on with scanning skills, implants, ship hull bonuses, modules and/or charges. My advice is to submit a bug report detailing your observations and the implants, hull, modules, probes, etc. and I'll add it to my aggregating defect.

Vegare wrote:Thanks for listening to all of our feedback! If not for a few remaining issues I'd say the new solar system map is now ahead of the old one regarding features and functionality. Merging probing and d-scanning in a far more obvious way was definitely the way to go.
However IGÇÖd like to put some emphasis on an issue that has been raised before. Namely the way that the new map handles the celestials that are selected by clicking on them outside of the map window (which puts them in the GÇÿselected item windowGÇÖ). That is: it does nothing. The old functionality strikes me as rather fundamental to orientation on the map. A simple click on an objects bracket showed you the location of the object you were looking for. Double clicking an entry, for example in the overview, would even center the map on it. One possible use case comes up while trying to identify a feasible celestial to ping to before warping to an out gate. Open map, double click gate on overview, map centers on gate, check for pings, d-scan, warp and jump and hope thereGÇÖs no camp on the other side.
The other thing that seems to be critical is to be able to see your ships HUD when having the map on full screen. However, I take youGÇÖre already on that one. While on it just please remember that some people have the HUD at the top of the screen. It might interfere with the map controls.
Thanks again for your great work.
Very interesting point. I've added it to the list! Thanks :)
HUD fix is out now, hope you've got it. Map controls being more flexible in their positioning is something on the list of things to look at.

In regards to tidying up the icons on the solar system map I will try to be more subjective:
I would suggest they need to look more unified, so for instance some of the icons are very large compared to others and very prominent, and there are many different colours and shapes, which I believe makes it look a little messy. I think signature and probe results need to be clearer and unified in appearance as in the original system, and also the celestial icons need to be a little more defined and smaller so that more can be seen on screen. At the moment I didn't find them useful for identifying the difference between planets and asteroid belts for example.
Yup, sig appearance is definitely on the list. Icon style isn't something that's in scope for us to change too dramatically though, sorry.
