i have a idea but no screenshots....yet but here is the start i will post more when i find my notes

1. When you use a asteroid scanner and you already have a locked asteroid the 1 you have locked will have some sort of a icon at the end of it to the right.....

2. Also how about a focused asteroid scanner like able to scan just a single asteroid with or without it being locked

3. Also this is another idea on a different topic ...well sorta..... how about some sort of a asteroid mining laser cycle timer / counter nothing super fancy just something to help the miners out ya know ...but only works with the scanner because it gets the amount of minerals that is in the asteroid from the scanner and then auto adds it to the cycle / timer



(( i shall return with some screenshots in more info when i can ))

Thanks,
Lord Jester.

Why would you want to have the ability to scan just one asteroid when you already have the ability to scan all of them within a certain radius? Not to mention you can get ore composition and distance from the overview. What purpose does this fill?

well the single scan is for using on only 1 type of roid say...veld...it will allow you to make all other roids be removed from the scanner interface..

and why mess with your overview just to have to put it back ( yea i know we have presets but....what is you have roids set an a red shows up at 100 + clicks it will be at bottom of overview an you wont see it...
the scanner interface will be like a overview all of its own but much easier to use and it will be very low skill level so most week old or less pilots can use it

You clearly have no idea how the current survey scanners work.

They pop all of their info in it's own neat little window, and when you mouse over the results it's even kind enough to show you which roid is which.

O trust me i know how they work...my account is as old as eve its self

an that's how i can say this area needs some TLC

back in they day this " roid scanner " wasn't even around

at its current state Yes it works good......but can be improved

i am just tossing out ideas and such but maybe CCP will look closer into it
