Scanning (replacing D-scan, overview and local) and mining (replacing the tedious, repetitive and bot-prone behavior) should be overhauled and replaced with something like this.

OK, now that is nice. D-scan replaced with the signal band? Looks interesting. Mining replaced with this prospecting and targeted beam? Looks very, very good to me. I would not mind seeing something like this in EVE.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.

+1 for the concept but the actual implementation looks pretty labor intensive what with all the drone launching and all. It might get expensive to launch all those drones all the time. That cost coupled with slower mining times would cause a big spike in resource prices.

Hybridize this with the system now in Eve and I think it'd be cool.

in before CCP's ancient code prevents this from being doable.

i want scanning for resource density to be a thing though. Something like PI's heat scanning would do tbh.

CCP - "wow this looks cool lets see if we can get some work do-"
Legacy Code - "EAT CODE *****!" *SLAP*

leave mining as it is - nice and relaxing - if boring......

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
