Remove belt clusters from new discovery notifications

When you scan a new body in the FSS, the actual details of the scanned object don't appear until the queue of messages for new discoveries has finally, slowly, laboriously worked its way to the end.

So when you scan a bunch of belt clusters to get their blobs off the screen then move on to scan something else, you have to sit there and wait for "discovered belt cluster 1... discovered belt cluster 2... discovered belt cluster 3..." to slowly tick along before it'll finally tell you what you scanned.

At the very least, remove belt clusters from the things that count as "new discoveries", in terms of interest to explorers they rank lower than signal sources, and they're the main cause of sitting there and having to wait for the message queue to clear, by the time it gets to the fifth or sixth cluster popping up on a system I'm just passing through inside the bubble and didn't even honk I feel like screaming "oh my god I don't CARE"

Sorry Burke but I find that a rather sarcastic remark, I haven't heard anyone claim the list of belt clusters appearing in front of you engaging, even the most die-hard supporters of the FSS agree that there are a few things that need attention so I suspect you are deliberately misrepresenting their position regarding the belt cluster messages to try and make a point that you hate the FSS. It fails I am afraid, it just makes you appear petty and tends to make people sigh and think "oh no not him again" when you do try and post seriously on the subject. In other words you are diluting your message.

Well i suppose its whatever you read into it. Being just text and completely devoid of any emotional pointers. If the word engaging triggered you, then that was certainly not my intention. As for the rest, do get off the bandwagon. You may have noticed how much i care about the "antis" on here. Truth and facts are truth and facts, the popularity of the person posting has no relevance. Now look, you are making a mess in somebody elses thread and it was completely not needed. I support the OP the endless spamming of the player is bad design. Its not my fault they screwed the game up.

Yeah I agree too. Personally I'd prefer if it just said "X bodies discovered" on entering a new system and left it at that - or better still nothing unless you fire the discovery scanner.

I would be happy if they stopped the Discovered message from popping up in the middle of the screen behind the system info displayed after the FSD is charging up. The same info is displayed in the INFO panel in the upper right.

By introducing the "pro and anti" point of view in your ideaology you already messed it up by taking it off topic, you also made an assertion which you should either back up with evidence or withdraw.

You blame me and yet then, as now, i was only responding to you. You have come into a feedback thread and sought to start an arguement cause you cant take critism to the FSS. I offer up post number 3 as evidence. You claim my point fails and yet you appear to have understood it quite clearly. Take the time to read again you will find my post to be short and delivered with a sprinkling of good humour compared to your confrontational accusatory reply.

I agree with the OP. The endless spamming of the player is annoying and frankly poor game design. A common thread running thru ED since the developmant team changed.

I'd prefer it to report the belt, once, instead of every cluster. They already changed it from needing to scan every cluster individually to just scanning one and having the whole belt revealed. It just seems like they need to finish the job by reducing it to one message.
