I'd really like to see combat and scanning fire-groups split with a mode switch in a fully consistent manner. It seems half-coded today, with probe launching interface activated via fire-group in an inconsistent UI decision. Am I wrong?
All scanning options turned on via mode switch and then controlled via fire-group.
In this way system/surface scanning options don't show up during combat and the UI is consistent across Discovery and Combat modes.
Also, allow us to fire surface probes without exiting the main cockpit UI if possible. Not sure based on the back-end code if this could be done, but it is disconcerting to be in super-cruise and totally exit the pilot view to launch probes. Similarly the system scanning ought to be overlayed on the normal screen if possible.
