Allow use of FSS while cruising

The FSS does function while the ship is in motion - you can check this by approaching a destination too fast, throttling down, then you are able to access the scanner as you fly.

It would be great to have proper access to it during travel because, as we all know, there's a lot of supercruise downtime in the game and to this day there's nothing to actually do during it... although browsing the Codex was a welcome addition. Why can't we scan other planets/signal sources while en route somewhere?

I understand it'd be difficult in certain circumstances to pinpoint things if you're moving, but that's fine, that'd make it more challenging. If you're too close to an object to pinpoint it, then you can throttle down. In most circumstances the distances involved should make it more than achievable.
 
Was suggested many times! Nobody ever was against it. I also want it!

I mean, the FSS even shows that it would be possible. Speed up, move the throttle to zero, enter FSS. You can enter the FSS even while the ship is still decelerating. Things still move in the FSS, but it can be used. There is no reason that it couldn't be available all the time. Close by objects are harder to catch, as they still move fast, but that's the users own choice, if he rather slows down, or play the harder "catch fast moving signals" game.
