I've proposed this before, but I'll raise the issue again, and illustrate some more this time 
I am proposing some changes to us carebear miners when it comes to survey scanning (rock scanning).
The current survey scanner isn't all that good, sure it gives the amount available, but hardly any toold of knowing which roid is which, especially when one wants to turn off the beam in the middle of depletion instead of waiting another cycle for it to pop.
So how about a survey scanner that you put online and let it cycle like any other active module, and the scanner result is shown next to the roid in the overview (if you list it there) as well as show the amount of any locked roid.
It would help so much more than trying to guess, right-click the results and hope that you turn off the right beam.
And here's an illustration on what it could look like - Linkage
We need some carebear lovin'

That would be nice. I already suggested some changes to scanning.

I will sing every petition that is needed. Any change to the current ore scanning would be beneficial. And your screen shoots are going in the right direction.

sorry mods, I know this is a bit of thread necro, but I only now have seen this brillant idea today for the first time.
Chribba, I have thought along similar lines, but had not gotten it as throughly thought out as yourself. With your link to the visual changes, I would have to say that you are dead on target sir. It would be a most excellent change. Of course I would hope they change the sound effect for the roid scanner too, for those days I feel like listening in on the eve client.

Well, since it has already been revived...
To add to this idea, I would like to see the scanner integrated with barges and ships with mining bonuses, using no cap like the system scanner does. On gunships that are being pressed into the role as a mining ship, the module would still be needed.

It is indeed a slight necro, but I fully endorse/sign/support/etc this idea :)

I mentioned a couple more improvements for the survey scanner in my Prospector Ship Class thread (which everyone should read and sign anyways!) that I thought might be interesting, and affect something that hasnt' been messed with yet, namely, the AMOUNT of ore pulled from the roid, instead of the speed.

That would be great. Chribba's Survey module for the win. And if they ever make a named version of this item, call it "Chribba's Survey Scanner".

Although it has been well over 6 months since i mined last time i support this idea. A very good one indeed.

This is a great idea. Something like this would eliminate the need for having 3 stop watches running and a spreadsheet to figure out how long it will take to pop that rock.
Please CCP, miners need love too.
And just incase you forgot, mining is a form of PVP, if I mine that rock it stops someone else from mining it. So something like this is very much needed for the whole game PVP attitude of EVE.

Exactly what I was thinking after using the scanner a bit. Its somewhat helpful as is, but could be so much better.
Is there a tech II survey scanner out there? If not this might be it!

if they did stuff like that, then reprocessing them won't be the most valuable thing you can do with them.

Yes please. I like this mainly because it involves adding info to the overview than having to deal with another hokey popup.

Yeah, I'd posted similar ideas awhile back. But the additions to the overview and 'roid target icons is nice. The separate survey window needs to die.
When you click on a roid you get it's type listed - so why not its size too if you have a scanner mod? Right there printed on the rock you're looking at - that's what we need.
Also, I'd like to see the laser pulses timed to be in sync with the weapon button glow so you can see which laser is mining each rock.

Great idea and suggestion.
I'm so modest, I would've settled for ranges in the scan window. But 'hitpoint' bars for asteroids would rock!
Pun intended.

This is EXACTLY what I thought. Very good suggestion, I do hope CCP listens to this suggestion. Currently the survey scanner is pretty much crap, or at least very unhandy.
I would be happy with just the "amount of ore left in the rock" column in the overview, but a HP-bar would kick ass :)
