Allow use of pre 3.3 Advanced Discovery Scanner

All of this adds up to a much more immersive and detailed scanning system that the old version just basically touched upon with a single honk.

Or, alternatively, it adds up to a couple of immersion-breaking minigames that ruin the flow of exploration gameplay.

I'm glad you like the FSS, but there's no reason not to allow those who don't like it to fit the old ADS/DSS modules instead.

You can't fit the ADS instead as the FSS isn't a module its standard across all the ships.
 
your suggestion has been raised to fdev
FDev have not responded, they are aware of the situation though
Quick off-topic question here, can we actually confirm that FDev did read through / visit this thread? I saw that community managers do sometimes reply to certain threads. Other than that is it possible to confirm that these threads reach anyone else than the community itself?
It has come to my attention that people generally tend to say that "FDev doesn't listen".

Haven't a clue about this thread, this isn't the first time it has come up though.
 
I can't see a slot downgrade being popular, I like being able to cram more in.

Perhaps a re-read of the thread would help you to better understand the topic and it's nuances. A module would not have to be fitted, it would not affect you if you chose not to fit one, just as before the 3.3 update.

That sounds like unnecessary work for FDEV, I thought one of this bad ideas supposed selling points was that it just meant a roll back on the upgrade.

I can see the point. Always good to put AMFU or somehing in there depending on the expected distance travelled.
However aside from that I can't really say there is much to fit on the ship in terms of the exploration in the first place. Then again, what would one put in class 1 module slot to facilitate / make exploration more fun?

It wouldn't be rolling back the upgrade, it would be adding more stuff to the game with no compromise to any existing gameplay. Again this has been covered already.
 
was that it just meant a roll back on the upgrade
At this point i strongly urge You to have a complete re-read of this thread in its entirety. No one wishes to roll back the upgrade as in we don't wish anything to be removed.
Edit : With due respect, for someone with 14 thousand messages and 62 points it appears You have nothing constructive to say else than trying to shut down the thread for no other reason than You not liking issues raised here.

The DBE was useless till they boosted its slots even then it was underequipped, the FSS rework actually made it properly viable as an explorer. I like to have an SRV along, its not vital but I like to be the first man on the surface of planets I find.

Stigbob isn't trying to shut the thread down, s/he's bumping it, and playing Devil's advocate (a role they fill very well).

DBE is my ship of choice when it comes to exploration. To be frank, I never found it underequipped. But maybe I picked it up after its rework. Having fitted small shield and SRV hangar I found it a very exploration viable ship. It did work perfect for flying up-close as anything else. But outfitting is a matter of personal prefference.

The new modules would be optional Stigbob. You would be able to continue just as you do now, if you wanted to.

Should that be true my apologies then, Stigbob and Everyone.
Must have been my misunderstanding after having to repeat core ideas of this thread to Him yet again.
Should watch my temper more carefuly.
