What is up with the SRV Wave Scanner ?

Its been behaving really oddly since 2.2 and I dont know if/how much it is bugged. 2 wierdness's happening.

1. Spot a Mes on the wave scanner, head towards it, band gets narrower and narrower till it totally vanishes. Audio is still there, and I can still find it (as long as I have the volume well up), but is not on the Wave Scanner at all.

2. Spot a distant Crash Site or similar on the Wave Scanner. Take a note of the general heading and head off. Take a spin/tumble, and it is no longer on the Wave Scanner, not in the correct direction, not even after a slow 360. Head of in the recorded direction for a couple of hundred meters and take another spin/tumble. Am suddenly right on top of the crash site, and it appears on the Wave Scanner.

Have read most of the release notes, but it is loooooooong, so could have missed it. Is this new correct behavior ?

Had this issue all throughout the 2.2 beta. Would end up chasing ghosts, a rock solid contact on the scanner would simply lead to nothing.

I had the same problem already in 2.1 but only very rare!
At least i don't like the new look, i was pretty used to the old wavescanner and the new one is like "we (FD) don't want that you progress too fast so here have some stones between your feet" :mad:

Same issues here, very frustrating. I'm also having audio of a scanner hit with no visual signs on the scanner. Follow the sound until your right on the rock, then the visual representation appears.

I posted a bug report (with video) of the rock I found that spawned completely below the terrain. I could target it, but couldn't shoot it. I had to take the external camera under the surface to actually see the rock.

Sad to hear it existed in the beta and yet still made it to the live game.

I think they broke something when they added the new sounds/readouts to the scanner for fumaroles and geysers. My SRV didn't even see my ship yesterday, nothing on the scanner at all. I now have a stealth ship, it doesn't show up on scanners!

Im seeing this as well cmdr; and here I thought ED was a game without some end point? I have never seen a game with a team that so desperately and frantically at every opportunity they get try to squelch player progression, be it in CR rewards or navy ranking allotments per mission and the volume of missions in themselves and of course all the Eng issues with rares and commod storage.

So just maybe there is this end game threshold and the idea we pesudo noobs have that there isnt is just wrong.

Long toothed cmdrs are actually revealing this in recent threads---ie "i have too many CRs, please charge us more for ship transfers"...and on and on. So, maybe they are right, ED has an end game and upon reaching it...true apathy arrives.

So i guess we ought to embrace all these nerfs to progression.

So lets all hold hands and mantra after me..."I appreciate all these nerfs to progression as it nerfs the death of our joy of ED"
