I have been scanning for the last 2 weeks. And I think most realise I'm not the only one.
Anyway, After some WH hunting in fleet formation I had this idea pop in mind.
Would it not be a nice gimmick to broadcast your scan results to every one's Solarsystem map in your fleet? That way I don't have to go trade bookmarks or ask people to warp to me and focus on the job at hand, that is scanning!
Of Course there is also a weird side effect, that would be that scanning for ships would get allot more effective. And maybe a bit TO effective. I doubt it is a good idea to broadcast ship location details to the entire fleet. But I bet allot of fleet commanders and pirates are already drooling with this thought of knowing where the prey is running off to.
Another thing I'm pondering about is to link scan results with other scanners in fleet, but personally... that would be overkill.
So to sum it up!
- A skill to share your precious scan results with your fellow fleet members.
Pro's
Share information quickly with your fleet members. (and even combine them with fellow probe pilots?) Not all scan results are useful to the probe pilot, but might be to other fleet members. (this also reminds me that 100% warpable results should have the ability to be pinned down, but I think someone else already requested a feature like this)
Con's
Share ship location information as well? Not sure if that's a good idea, but it will make battles and pirate life a lot more interesting! A good idea would be that the information is only available to fleet and/or squad commanders. Or can assign your scan information to a specific Wing/Squad commander. A other idea would be that the information is delayed by 30 secs, just to make sure EVE keeps a bit carebear friendly in low sec.
How to introduce this skill?
My personal taste goes to a Leadership skill. Something like "Fleet Intelligence".
All constructive comment (the good and the bad) is welcome

I thought about something similar once... Like allow me to drag a scan result to the chat if it's a 100% lock. Maybe limit it to corp members usage only, to get some kind of limitation into it. My corp members could right click the link and fly to it... The idea is good - way better than the other possibilities - would you jeopardize your only scanner ship in the fleet to show some gang members where you found the sleeper's hideout?

I really agree on that, I witness the destructive power of a group of sleepers in a manner to close for comfort.

Page 4 already? *BUMP*
and a small update, was thinking about it a bit more... sharing of Survey data would be a nice addition as well.
