Augmented reality scanner/E-War

Mace · 2017-10-07T20:00:55+00:00

Hi, I have returned from the Expo today and watched the live stream for the proposed changes to Elite Dangerous for the coming year. I would like to suggest some changes with primarily a mineral scanner, but also possibly a combat scanner too. Basically, i have an issue when mining where sometimes i have mined an asteroid out and cannot track which asteroids are full and which are empty. i also do not wish to use up an internal module for prospector limpets. So, can we have a Utility module which functions as a mineral scanner. When the scanned is activated (or possibly automatic around mineable asteroids) it provides a simple augmented reality overview superimposed on top of the asteroid. Ideally, it could provide limited composition results too, but that is secondary. I would like much of the mining controllers and equipment to move to utility slots as cargo space is needed. Really mining is quite a manual process and I would expect it to be easier and more automated. For a combat scanner, this could possible aid gimball or turret weapon tracking and provide a technical readout of the target vessel (?). This could be combined with a kill warrant scanner as a single unit. With squadrons proposed for the Q4 of 2018, can we have ships with roles like E-war/disruption? They would be specialist ships that forgo weapon hardpoints for weapons that reduce effectiveness of a target vessels turrets and gimballed weapons. In game terms they could affect targeting range, reduce tracking, break missile locks, overload systems and cause heat etc. They would be for pack hunters primarily. I really would like super-light e-war fighters even as small as the Eagle using their class 2 hardpoint for specialist attacks in this way. They would require moderate power reducing their shield and offensive capabilities.

Hay, E sel returned furay luh Expo perday aynd watched luh homae sedlu fohva luh proposed jydes per Elite Dangerouss fohva luh kahemler yarre.

E havun selo per mithinqa sow jydes villa primarily a mineral scanner, puud alvu possibly a combat scanner pero. Fundozsoze, e sel ayn eusue til mining tiim sowtimes e sel mined ayn esteroid layn aynd catnuve lauma tesh esteroids say plorf aynd tesh say treyte. e alvu duss nuve maji per har essii ayn ennternal mepenva fohva prospectohva limpets. Vu, cayn va sel a Wadisti mepenva tesh functions es a mineral scanner. Til luh scanned eu activated (ohva possibly automatic arunama mineable esteroids) et shiides a pleeb augmented reality avonhevel sunsiimposed gu perp ol luh esteroid. Edeally, et pavun shiida limited compositigu results pero, puud lam eu secondary. E havun selo mamose ol luh mining controllers aynd equipment per mova per wadisti slots es crat saprum eu needed.
Relezi mining eu kiiper a manual talda aynd E havun expect et per se briisner aynd mowa automated.

Fae a combat scanner, luhu pavun pobul ezen gimball ohva tunjo vaapgu laumaing aynd shiida a technical readlayn ol luh craivo vessel (?). Leu pavun se combined villa a kill warrant scanner es a sorza unmel.
