It'd be very helpful if units/cycles left showed up on each locked roid icon instead of fiddlydiddly rock scanner.

Thank you for your time.

getting the information a survey scanner provides without fitting one. how much more fun can there be?

it 's a bad idea. ui improvement should not make modules obsolete.

Also, if you can't handle a little mathematics, you have no reason to do industry, or anything else in EvE for that matter.

Also, the rock scanner gives you an overview of all the roids in the belt while my suggestion only gives you information on the roids you are currently mining. I want less window clutter, not more.

They should just make it so autopilot can be set to automatically mine the whole system.

Seriously mining really does not need fixes that will make you do less work. I afk mine at job, just make a spreadsheet that calculates things for you and alt-tab to eve like every 10 min to do your 5 sec of clicking. How lazy can you be?

I think the idea is fine as long as the info only shows up when you have a survey scanner.

Protip: 100M ISK per hour is about $3US an hour.

No, what CCP needs to do is change mining altogether. AFK mining should not exist, it's a product of horrible game design.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.
