1) I found that whenever I was prospecting for a mineral, I would be scanning the same asteroids and lose where all the "unscanned" asteroids are at. It would be helpful to be able to place some sort of becon on the asteroid so that way it's easier to tell which asteroids you have scanned and which you haven't. This becon could cause the asteroid to be highlight on the screen, grayed out, or something to that affect. Or perhaps since I have the information in my computer, instead of saying "object too far" it could tell me that I've done it already... without having to get closer.

2) On that same note, the "Object is too far away to scan" message could be coupled with a bar similiar to the 3000 dist. indicator... that way you know how much closer to get before it actually works...

3) The ability to magnify an object on the screen, or magnify some portion of the screen.

4) When at the "Map" view for a particular system, it would be nice to be able to see the approximate locations of all other "friendly" ships.

In response to #3... press i.
