Agree with all that. The story helped to make me want these changes even more, I hope CCP gets the same feeling.

It would perfect if you added this to your plan:

-->Scans done in 5/15/30 degree range also show the ship's pilot information.

AND

--> Non-pilot ships are taken out of the "ship" category on the scanner (move them to a different category)

Yep, the highest level of intel on contacts should be Pilot information.
Agree also you should be able to remove not piloted ships from the focus search.

Also something just occurred to me. In the spirit of making intel gathering vital and removing all the "free lunch" intel from general game systems. Pilots should be able to toggle off the "appearing with online status" in other people's address books if they choose. No reason why an enemy should necessarily know with perfect accuracy whether x pilot is online or not. This address-booking of hostiles is another local-ish cheese technique of metagaming too much knowledge of the tactical situation in my opinion. As always though, I'm very interested to hear from other people on the issue.
