Probing, wtf?
« on: 28 May 2010, 21:33 »

So Exploration is the majority of what I do for fun.

Something weird is going on though. I can't pinpoint a site anymore.

Yesterday? Worked fine. Skills are 4/3/3/3. I try to scan something down, and it gets stuck at 60%ish and will not get higher, no matter how much wiggling of the probes I do. I checked this out on a lark because someone mentioned they were having difficulty.

Is anyone else having a problem like this?

Seemed fine to me earlier today.

Maybe it's one of those super-sekrit new signatures.

Not had any issues. Tooltips popping up can be a bit annoying, but other than that, I've managed 100% on everything I've found.

I have had times where it took a lot of effort to nail down a site.  It ended up being a epic arc mission site.

It's weird. It's like 3/4 of the sites probe down in 2-4 minutes as normal. But some of the sites (and they've been everything, mag, gravi, etc) no matter how much wiggling I do they stick at 62%. I realize I'm not in a +probestr ship, but that's still never happened before.

Makes me wonder if it is the new hidden stuff, some of the sites are bugged, or what.

Crazy.

At least you get to 62%; I get to "throw my ****ing mouse across the room"% when I tried to learn to probe.

The first minipatch after the big patch fixed it. I haven't run into any of those since then. Smooth sailing again and probin' up a storm. :)

Occasionally I'll hit a gravi I can't, for the life of me, probe out, but it's a gravi so I don't care.
