Is's obvious ED is going to do this change regardless of we like it or not, so, I am not going to address that as it's pointless.
But, I have an idea, like it or hate it-I don't care, but I figured I'll put this out here to discuss.
Change the Intermediate Discovery scanner to do what the current Advanced Discovery does.
So:
Basic Discovery Scanner, Unchanged.
Intermediate Discovery Scanner, Changed to do what the current discovery scanner does, but to balance it the payouts are not as good and won't allow you to tag your name on systems. This is for non-explorers (combat or traders) who just want to get to their destination as quickly as possible. You don't get detailed scan data, just the system basics, but it has the infinite range rating like the current ADS, and no higher payouts, trade off is, you get that instant list of all the stellar bodies as you do now.
(old Intermediate Discovery Scanner removed.)
Advanced Discovery scanner, this has all the new 'features' as presently presented to us.
so, summary:
Basic Discovery Scanner, unchanged.
Old Intermediate Discovery Scanner, deleted.
New Intermediate Discovery Scanner is now the old Advanced Discovery Scanner with:
* Low payouts
* No scan UI
* Instant Complete System Map
* Infinite Range
* No longer allows tagging
New Advanced Discovery Scanner is now the new thing added with all new UI, features, grind, etc.
my 0.00002 cents.
Discuss. (or argue, or troll, or what ever.)
