Breaking News: Looks like SISI is being patched

[Rubino]

ah cool   Now that's more like it.  It'll allow the system to be very dynamic.

Just downloading the patch again - the first time must have messed up and it complained that something was missing from the package.

[Caradir]

cant wait to give it a go patched up and ready to rock

those ships look sweet, especially the cylonesque look must get a reds woosh for it.

SISI looks like it's entering the startup cycle

Dense veld is the orange roids, grey/brown/zombie flesh is the regular veld:

As soon as someone can explain me how to get the old map back, i may actually be able to find my way. 
I really dont get how i can use the new map 

[Mangala]

New POS model

[Rubino]

If you uncheck the "enable scene 2" the map tends to work.
The background isn't there yet - so whatever is behind will appear.

The new scanning system is pretty spiffy - and it appears that there's a ton of new exploration sites.  In Kubanin I found 5 distinct sites

[Rubino]

Scanning with the new probes..

[Rubino]

The red rings mean you have only 2 probes covering a site.
Here you'll see 2 sites have been found.

[Rubino]

Moving the probes about and getting better coverages shows that the system has 3 sites

[Rubino]

Follow this thread for info about what settings you need to turn off to enable maps and scanning: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=994372

The scanner window sometimes collapses in on itself - and it looks mashed.
Expand the window and resize the sections - it's usually due to having the window too big and not enough probes out.

Don't trust the signal strength - just because it's 100% doesn't mean it's warpable.  You need 3-4 probes to get something that's warpable.
When you can warp it'll be a small green filled circle.
If you see other small filled circles (yellow/red) then it's just a helper to know where to focus your efforts.
If you see a red circle (see images above) then it means you have 2 probes covering the location - but it's not enough to give you precise details of it's location.

3-4 probes are needed to triangualte the position of the signature.

looks good, I'm gonna miss all those mid-warp boomarks .... for about a minute.
