Suggestion #1: Bring back manual km distance input for d-scan.
I notice you removed the ability to input manual d-scan distances under 0.1 AU. If you are in a complex that is very close to a station, asteroid belt, gate or any area where people may congregate it allows you to narrow your range to exclude pilots outside of your immediate vicinity.
This feature is also nice to have if you ever find yourself searching for objects using d-scan. I left my mobile depot in a complex a few days ago. I only had the entrance bookmarked. I was able to scan its general direction to 5 degrees and use my MWD to collect it. A few times toward the end I had to readjust my position due to the narrowness of the cone (it would fall out of the cone's scan range as the cone got narrower and narrower), but I was able to see exactly how far away it was, adjust course and monitor my progress. Also, assuming that different jumpgates throw you a wide variety of distances it is nice to be able to know that the object is X km away. I'd hate to blindly ahead toward something that was 0.09 AU away and waste my time even trying.
Suggestion #2: Allow for d-scan sphere/cone to be toggled on/off.
The ability to toggle the D-scan sphere/cone on and off so that it does not appear in the probe scanning map. Or at the least, change its color from red to blue. When set to 360 degrees it can be confused with a cosmic signature. In certain situations, if I don't always set my d-scan to the lowest range setting it gets in the way of pointing out signatures. But then, depending on the size of the system, at the lowest range setting it looks like a signature. Unnecessary confusion.
Suggestion #3: Return the checkbox for Anamolies in the scan window.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but hiting keys 1-5 don't toggle anything. So instead of a clikc of a button I have to open the drop down menu. This is not major by any means, but it is something I'd like to see addressed nonetheless.
