Disappointed that the probe layouts system isn't being released even though it was advertised at Fanfest. That's pretty much what everyone was looking forward to.

Probe layouts?

CCP had said they would be implementing something much like being able to import/export overview settings in order to speed up the layout process for your probes.

For example, you could have a three probe configuration, a five probe configuration et cetera that meant that you'd only have to get the layouts sorted once.

Forgive my newbness, but what's the point in having less than 8 probes if all 8 now launch instantly, and are never lost?

Pretty much this. I can think of several situations where I'd want different probe layouts, and was honestly looking forward to the feature. Just another case of CCP not delivering on promises™.

Agreed. I don't probe very often, but when I do it's always the fiddly "adjust the probes to match the layout I want" part that's the most time consuming and least fun.

Bloody. Finally.
