Honestly I like the new triangulation system (minus the current bug with the cr towers). It feels like you're actually using the tech to narrow in on the signals rather than just playing a weird game of hide-and-seek. I know a lot of people have been complaining about getting the cursors around a signal only for it to vanish, but, that's not a new thing. It happened with the old system too. Granted, it might seem like it happens a little more frequently with the new system, but if you haven't noticed- there IS a trade-off: You no longer get "sensor error" or "invalid object" pings. If you triangulate in time it's *always* a success.

The floppy thing,... that definitely needs some tweaking. As tedious is it was to manually write down the hashcodes before, at least you were actively doing something to occupy your time. Now if the downloading takes too long you're just kind of sitting around with your thumb up your bum the whole time, and you can't exactly walk away to do something else. Honestly I feel like they should add some sort of real-time minigame or something to the satellite servers that can not only give the player something to do, but also possibly help reduce the chance of "unexpected errors". Maybe have the game get harder for every server upgrade installed, so it doesn't end up becoming too trivial once you have a bunch of upgrades installed.

I do prefer the triangulation over the old system. It was just frustrating to move the three dots one at a time when the signal were all far away. Just for it to dissapear. 
I didn't knew about the button calling the curosers to your position, because those buttons does not work on azerty keyboard 😭. I had to be told before I realized this. It forces me to switch to qwerty, it became lot more easy and doable but it's still annoying because control become weird (imagine : Z for up,  Q for left, S and D stay the same) and there's no way to reassign the call buttons (1, 2 and 3 keys)

Actually, the devs apparently thought of this because you don't have to use the keyboard at all to use the different cursors. You can do it all using just the mouse. There's 7 colored lights underneath the triangulation screen- clicking on the first four switches control to that color cursor (including that central one), while clicking on the last 3 will call that color cursor to your position. No keys required.

Oh boy, that's good to know. Thanks for the information, that's going to help
