What? the probes? yeah well that's bosh,bosh,bosh, same pattern for the same size every time (and infinite probes) but yeah the, travel there (500kls) needs commitment, but the probes for the scan don't... not like driving round for days to find an Alien site used to, anyway... I wasn't referring to the probe bit though that was added for mapping I guess because some players wanted beacons for points of reference.
Could Frontier please demonstrate how to use the FSS enjoyably?

Nah, everyone dislikes it but they're too shamefaced to admit it.
See I can do that too.
This is the sad truth.
I get that, and upon looking, a mamba is more of a combat ship than anything... So for that I do apologize, but I do have a question? Why preface the distance they have to travel each jump? Why should that fact that is using a ship not made for exploring matter in the least? Why should her shorter jump distances matter?

And I notice the post directly below Jackie Silver's was a suggestion from me. It was 8 months ago, but still relevant, although I posted far more detailed (and different) suggestions at the time. And since this is the Suggestions sub-thread, here it is again...
Pretty sure FD will want to revisit the FSS very soon.
After it has caused all this furore.
I empathise with their situation - FD have, clearly, spent a lot of time (and, therefore, credits) on it.
So, it is a shame to have to recognise it as really very bad.
After all, none of us wanted to have to reach this conclusion.
But, facts must be faced.
It's rubbishy.

I bet he's got a Cobra 4 ship kit.Max gets free stuff from frontier for crushing FSS dissent.
I think he was just really good at twiddling his "button", so it was probably the FSS interface he was looking at.
I think I imagined Spock was looking at a raw wave form and using experience to interpret it. I would presume Spock's FSS didn't provide a handy guide key in the bottom corner, he used knowledge & experience to interpret the signal.
So more like looking at an [unexplored] body on the sysmap and figuring out whether it was worth investigating further.
I don't think the Spock-o-scope is a particularly good analogy, Spock didn't fly the ship. I also think the simple solution to all of this is just to put the old modules back in. It solves an awful lot of problems and doesn't create any new ones.
Exactly. We can all do that, but it's meaningless drivel.
The I must be crushing myself as there is a lot I am unhappy about in this game, including parts of the FSS.Max gets free stuff from frontier for crushing FSS dissent.
I see you have to make it personal again, a bit sad really.
Yeah, but only when someone else says it.
I wishI bet he's got a Cobra 4 ship kit.
Not someone else. When we all say stupidity like that, including me, it's utter drivel.
What I said was drivel just as much as Enderbys statement.
As to the Spock-o-scope, it' was the best the 60's could come up with, now 60 years later I think it a bit lame pretending it was good... let alone copying it as a feature.
I understand that many of you protagonists claim the ADS a fail because it discovered all with a 5 second honk... well the bad news for you is that the FSS also does this, except instead of giving you the results in a readable fashion, it stops you in your tracks and fires them in a box and shakes them up so you can sort it out like matching up socks on washing day, Ooohhh we love washing day.

You could have said you don’t like flying.l to discover. That’s a valid opinion that no one seems to have raised in the 800 pages of discussion.
The designed the fss right on top of your preferences. It’s okay to just say it, the developers did.
Everyone has a slightly different angle on both sides of the pie, but I’d still say that if the mechanic of the fss was either interesting or immersive (it’s neither) many people wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Everyone is clutching at straws because we can’t have and max factor twisting and turning.
I don't see the FSS like that anyway. I see it as a VR overlay, that's how I look at the galaxy and system maps too. Helps keep the immersion.
Not important to me. What is important is how it makes me feel. I feel like I am finding these things myself as opposed to the ADS which didn't.
But some people are not bothered about that. Each to their own.

The cobra 4 is a cobra 3 ship kit, when its not doubling as a small sized anaconda.

There's about as little reason for FD to cave into the FSS-dislikers as there are for any childcare institution to build their structure on the rantings from a few loud schoolyard bullies.

Agree'd it isn't so broke that it needs redone. I think just a bunch of people are salty at how much easier scanning an entire system became and after they did all that work previously.
