It would be nice to have a HUD able to see the asteroid composition just by seeing through it, that will be super immersive and much fun than prospector drone I think. This will be, of course, too powerful, so I don't see that as a module every body can have, but as a specialized mining ship power, little slow like a type-6 and equipped with a kind of a flare to tag the high value asteroid you just located, so your friends or wings, can benefit from your super ability with a visual signal, this will enhance the cooperative mode. I see that ship shaped to land on the asteroid and suck it faster.

More we get visual information to discern through it more it's demanding right side brain, enhancing presence, this is just the opposit of reading data that stimulate more conceptual part of the gamers. Both are great and each time you create new stuff for ED you have chose a side.

Francois, beliver of your vision.

They do mention a "heatmap" in the design proposal:

Scans will display a ‘heat map’ of the mineral make-up of a body, showing areas especially rich in particular resources.

Since they haven't mentioned it when talking about the other mining improvements it might not come this time around, but who knows. 1.4 maybe?
 
You can save your F5 key - there's no dev update from this week - it's all being rolled up into a bumper newsletter and something else that I can't mention just yet!

OMG - How many whining posts will this generate ?
Personally I've waited this long so another day or two doesn't bother me.
Keep up the great work guys :)

With a tease like that you'll always be employed, but maybe not in the same profession ;)

Seems like we maybe expecting more than an engine on/off switch (Powerplay) :p

An anouncement about not doing anymore anouncements at the same time as anouncing a new announcement method, surely an internet first?
 
So no Dev update today then

Taken from another post, hoping its just a troll. If not such a shame that we couldnt have just been told this at start of week, a lot of people (myself included) were looking forward to a nice announcement of PP/1.3 today :(
