Scanning is becoming a lot quicker and easier. Basically, the new discovery scanner will show you all signatures that are available in your current system, but only the very rough location and no signal strength whatsoever. To be able to interact with them you have then to, as you are used to, pinpoint these signatures down to 100% signal strength. This process, however, is changing in the following ways:

When you use your launcher module, all probes loaded will get launchet at once.
