I'll do it. What is it?
Well, that's a new one.
Manufacturer's error: 'This end to front' labels accidentally affixed to rear. YTS kid blamed.
So i turned the PWA around, everythings all good. (i wish)

All this PWA commentary cracks me up, it's not the PWA that's out of whack, its your ship that is incorrectly oriented 
Seriously though, it also tickles me that none of you mining geniuses have figured out a workaround, like this one I came up after giving it 4 minutes thought...
Turn Flight Assist OFF, and pitch 180° (and counter to stop rotation)
Fire PWA while travelling backwards relative to the direction you are facing
Pitch 180° (and counter to stop rotation) to realign ship orientation with direction of travel
Turn Flight Assist ON and look for your next glowing bling boulder to blast
Buy Scottish sounding imperial bloke some Lavian Brandy as a thank you for this suggestion.

You aren't aware how long
- Smuggling
- Thargoid Tissue Sampling
- Megaship cargo hatches
At least the broken PWA still does it's job-ish per the post above me. Smuggling and Megaships are 100% broken and not doable, tissue sampling works maybe 25% of the time?
Clas 4 Slingshot?
It's Guardian stuff,the image was taken in Synuefe something...Odyssey DLC already running,you can clearly see the legs.

Epitome of what's wrong with the human race, LETS STICK A BANDAID ON IT INSTEAD OF FIXING IT. We all know that there is a work around, and that work around ruins immersion. Also, you make less money because it takes longer.... not worth it. Its not fun any more. So please don't be condescending and under rate this problem. This is literally my favorite thing in the game to do. It was the only thing that was well balanced, time/reward. Its one of the few things in this game that they nailed, and you wanna throw all that out the window and fly backwards......
FD are one of the worst dev teams for bug fixing. There have been persistent bugs in this game for years, broken mechanics and little annoyances that persist no matter how many times we mention them.
My feeling is that FD either don't know how to fix the PWA issue or that the fix will actually break a bunch of other things in the game. With Odyssey coming out in a few months which I hear will fundamentally change / upgrade the cobra engine I can't see them fixing this for a while yet.

Actually getting readings from it didn't take much thought. But they're whacked out when you do get them to show. Some fade out partially due to shader orientation or fogging.All this PWA commentary cracks me up, it's not the PWA that's out of whack, its your ship that is incorrectly oriented

Ultimately, it turns a tool that's required to make core mining the most efficient into a very inefficient process.
I'm not upset it's taken so long to fix. I mine almost exclusively through necessity and not for fun. But I never experienced the pwa in its fully functional state and watching videos of it make me think "man that's a lot easier than this right now". I managed to get some cores after a short time but it'd be much faster if it just worked how it used to, right?
I know this community are avid followers of the gods of "it's fine, just do this instead, here let me show you" but it really does need to be fixed.
Edit: I've just thought of the term for it... "Geeksplaining"
I remember there was some wailing about the garishness of the ship paintjobs, that noise is gonna kick up a notch when they see that shirt.
Someone told me Boris was in charge of fixing the PWS.
