[Feature Suggestion] Granular long range scan

Post by MarStrMind »

Right now, the long range scanner picks up everything there is - stations, asteroids, lockboxes etc. However I noticed that if you fire that in an asteroid field, the pings are so much that it has dramatic effect on FPS, no matter if you have volumetric fog on or off. This could be irritating to some, so my suggestion would be a new setting / hotkey where the pilot can decide on what to pick up:

It could go through a cycle like this:

- Stations
- Gates / Accelerators / Highways
- Stations / Gates / Accelerators / Highways
- Lockboxes
- Datavaults
- Anomalies
- Derelict ships
- Asteroids

Or define a hotkey that directly jumps into long range with the desired signature to find.

This does help with the asteroid pings which I find a bit... too much. I have a higher-up tier GPU and it is struggling with that.

Alternatively, if there is a mod for that already, you can also post it here. I couldn't find one.
