Hi.

I was thinking today, what if the D-Scan had an additional feature to it. A preset for certain scan ranges between min/max scan ranges.
I enjoy the D-Scan the way it is, and I don't think it needs to be changed, but typing out 99999999999 for max range and then everything in between can get sticky. Why not keep that feature, but add two additional fixed ranges that you can check or uncheck quickly.

Kind of like setting your default orbit..

I support this.

Inb4 "legacy code" excuse :)

D-scan is one of those crucial features/tools that everybody uses (or should use, apparently there are people who have no idea about it) and no dev dares to touch because :reasons:

They could make our lives gaziillion times better when it comes to usage of d-scan starting with making frakking angle slider to have equal steps for all "X degrees", AU/km radiobox (with discreet converter for backend system if server needs to get value in km), presets of ranges (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10%) and probably many more small tweaks and usability improvements I have no idea about but all of them were already proposed multiple times in F&I threads. FFS all those things are grouped in one of those "common proposals" threads created by dev for easier visibility!
