I'm a dual-boxer. Whether I'm ratting, mining, or just wasting time, I almost always have two clients running.

While ratting I've developed a taste for the "Tag" feature to help coordinate fire between my two pilots, whether to shoot the same target or different ones. It's easier than constantly broadcasting targets, and also handy for tracking spawns easier.

While mining, I've found great value in the Survey Scanner modules. It's handy on an Orca for checking the entire field and picking targets, if you will. Now I've noticed you can tag asteroids the same as any other target in the overview. But corellating between the overview and the Servey Scanner window is tedious. (You have to click on your servey results until you find things you've already targeted, and watch the target reticule move between them.)

Can the functionality be added to (optionally) have the Tag column displayed within the Survey Scanner results window?

Nice idea.

Though couldn't the survey scanner not simply be made able to forward its results to the fleet, and with that, what ore the mining fleet commander wants mined by the fleet via the tag system, or some new mining related system.

Could even go as far as implement the scan results into the fleets targeting info(if the scan ship is a Orca or Rorq), and give info on who is mining what via that, by showing how many lasers are on said target. even have a "ticker to empty" in units or m3, on there.
