General Additional Scanning and/or SIGINT Panels While in Super Cruise

[lbilello]

Commanders spend incredible amount of time in super cruise, it becomes repetitive and boring. Please add additional scanning and signal intelligence or some other worth while task to engage in while in super cruise.

I have 1000+ hours in, I know you can scan ships while facing them. I'm thinking about that sort of functionality but add more detail and provide the ability to select any nearby target in any direction while still maintaining your course.

Some Ideas:

1. UI Scanning Panel - ships, signals, settlements, stations, etc that can be scanned while in super cruise. Pull additional information about them that may or may not lead to investigation.
2. Signal Intelligence Gathering - ships, signals, settlements, stations, pick up transmissions (Comms, scanning, sensors etc) that lead to targets that you can pursue or investigate.
3. Add audio local system information channel, same information you can read at the stations, but in audio.

The bottom line is find something to do while in super cruise that allows the player to do something interesting instead of just maintaining course and occasionally scanning a ship that crosses your flight path.

Thanks, btw Odyssey will be a nice addition once the bugs are worked out.

My Rig, Ryzen 5 2600x, NVIDIA 1070, handle Odyssey @ 60 FPS on high settings. No real performance issues.

Don't forget the Long Distance System Jumping,
where you have to Babysit each Jump.
I'm so tired of the "your locked in Jump-De-Jump",
where you have to monkey with each Jump, for hours.
