This is one more action, which can be just automated. When you scan, or hack conts, or make other work which need a concentration, it will be comfortable when D-Scan check space automatically ---

And do you also need an automated warning any time something shows up on the automated dscan, or is this something you will look at yourself? And an automated warp-off when the automated warning shows danger? Frankly I would much rather press and watch my dscan whenever I need it than become some robot which has to watch my dscan winfow whenever the game automatically pings it for me every few seconds. I would probably get some pavlov reaction to the dscan ping. Ping Watch Let me warp to thi… Ping Watch …s site, or is that other site more intere… Ping Watch …sting? Is my fit configu… Ping Watch …red well? Let’s go. Warps Ping Watch Warping Ping Watch Arriving at the site, locking up so… Ping Watch ..me enemies. Wait was that a hostile ship on… Ping Watch … on dscdn? No it is gone now. Was it there? Ping Watch Unbearable. More likely is that I stop watching these automated pings, but that defeats the purpose of automated pings because then I miss the information these pings show as the next ping overrides the previous one and may hide that a threat just entered system. No, I do not see this as an improvement to our gameplay. Just press your dscan whenever you need it. You really don’t need it every few seconds, and it’s better to have control over it so you can consciously watch the result too whenever you do a ping than have the game show you a result when you’re not looking and worse, override the result before you had time to look. ---

You are overlooking the Number One Game Feature: (sorry no name for it, lol) if the game did things like this for you then it takes away much of the basic character of the game. let me explain… NOT clicking D-scan can get you killed, the game rewards players who learn how to do this, and punishes lazy players who do not. and THAT is why it will never be automated. Skilled and experienced players can multitask multiple things at the same time. these players are rewarded for that skill by the fact that less skilled player cannot do it. Being able to sneak up on players is an art, what you ask would make this very difficult - if not impossible. This game IS NOT for lazy or inattentive people. It is not meant to be ‘easy’ and by the grace of Bob never will be. Learning how to avoid combat is as important in this game as any other part, it is a skill you learn by leaning into your personal strengths to overcome your personal weaknesses as you learn the game. take away the reason for doing this and you end up with a lessor quality player And a poor quality experience.. New players cannot understand this - but it is the bedrock of why Eve players are so loyal to the game, even if they cannot articulate it. ---
