But it's so bothersome and unnecessary. Think about if you had to have the same setting for brackets as you have on your overview. Everyone's setup is a little different, but as an example, I don't have drones on my main combat overview, but I do have them showing on brackets. So I know when an enemy has deployed drones and how far away from me they area, but I don't want them buzzing around on my overview cluttering the ships that I need quick information on (transversal, radial velocity, distance, ewar effects, corp, etc).<br /><br />The same goes for dscan. Especially while in a combat situtation, I need to able to focus on what's in my immediate vicinity (on grid) shown by my overview, while also having a quick overview of any other incoming hostiles, shown by refreshing dscan. I have align points on my overview at the bottom (sorted by distance) that I don't want on my dscan. I only usually want ships. Now, sure, I can switch back and forth between overview tabs to get a ship/probe-only dscan results, but then I'm not getting all the information on my overview that I need in a readable format.<br /><br />If for nothing else, it's simply a matter of organization. There's no reason the overview should be tied to the directional scanner. They have filter lists in common, but that's about it. They're not used for the same purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966268702453044660.post-9455036098822444192012-12-17T10:02:25.560-08:002012-12-17T10:02:25.560-08:00Can't you just change tab once its centered an...Can't you just change tab once its centered and before you actually scan? <br /><br />1. Activate tracking checkbox<br />2. Select an asteroid belt on your "Celestial Crap" overview tab<br />3. Select your "Miners I want to gank" ship tracking overview tab<br />4. Hit scan<br /><br />Or do you mean a specific dropdown on the scan window for a named Overview setting to use for targets while the current Overview governs the location?Cheradenine Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822231437454134489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966268702453044660.post-17254553780580929442012-12-17T09:31:25.616-08:002012-12-17T09:31:25.616-08:00The tracking box is a great addition.

You can then click on an item in range in the overview, a belt or moon for example, and do a quick 5 degree scan. Obviously if you it's at the far end of range then you might get overlap in the 5 degrees. <br /><br />Warped to a planet the other day and scanned about 6 local belts in around twenty seconds on 5 degrees. The ease of use is blowing my mind.Cheradenine Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822231437454134489noreply@blogger.com
