OK, OK, I like the ideas in here so here's mine: < see what I did there 
* Knowing What's Being Mined *
When someone activates an offensive module on you e.g. Warp Scram, Web, TP etc you get that little icon next to there entry on your Overview. Add that to the Overview for Mining Lasers\Strip Miners. You'll see which roids are not being mined.
This should be easy'ish as this functionality is already used for the stuff mentioned above.
* Constant Ore Retrieval *
How about instead of waiting for the cycle to end the ore is put in your hold every 10 seconds of activation instead of at the end of a cycle. Cycles can still be used for Cap Consumption but you could manage cargohold space more efficiently as well as Cap Consumption and T1 and T2 Strip Miner Crystal use by not overusing necessarily.
I like all the ideas above and my second one is an alternative to auto-shut off when roid pops as I find this a bit too "Automated" but that being said guns stop firing at targets when they're dead...
My Feature\Idea:-á Fast Character Switching "XP Stylee"

Please add some functionality into the ship scanner so that the modules are sorted into "Hi slot", "Mid slot" and "Low slot" as in the fitting management window.
It would be great if we could see e.g. "Heat Sink II x3" instead of 3 separate entries each called "Heat Sink II"
Finally, the description says that the module's effectiveness decreases the further you go beyond optimal range (or something along those lines). However, my experience is that even when you are 500m away the ship scanner will never give you a complete fitting. Maybe you could reduce the optimal range to something like 5km and change the mechanic to give a full readout every time if you are within optimal?
EDIT: This might be a little overpowered, but perhaps if you have just scanned down their fitting, the ship scanner could give you their ship stats (assuming minimum skills required to use the modules they've got) including DPS, range, EHP, resists, top speed, etc... everything you get in the fitting window for your own ship
This isn't about ship scanners but nice try

Lai HasCake wrote:The idea of grav/ice sites only being scannable with a survey scanner is a really good idea.
Seconded. The fact that they are insta-warp immediately turns me off of them. I'm not risk averse but no effort = quick kills it's simply not cricket old chap
On the other hand make those roid loving rock hugging Carebears work for that ore, nothing should just fall into your lap in EVE, be it kills or roids...nothing I say goddamnit!

Love the ideas in this thread! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
I need more coffee...
Any chance of just getting it to be a Sticky\Dev Sticky or any thoughts, CCP Fear, on what may come of this or any "WIP" that would spur people on to add?

Why else do you have to wheel your entire ship around to point your scanner?
edt: More coffee needed - this is a thread is about survey scanners. Ok, ok. Go give this to CCP Dscan for me, willya ?
Was about to say I think you misread the Title "Survey Scanners". Hit that coffee and come back lol.
