Mark the radar blips after scanning with KWS

Would like to see a small black dot placed into the squares and triangles on the radar after I scan targets with the kill warrant scanner. I like to scan everything at a RES or NAV, and have to keep checking the same targets over and over while flying around to see if I already scanned them or not.

Great suggestion, I fully support this.

I emphatically concur. I would suggest, however, something more visible than a black dot. The appearance would be too similar to PC targets. A bracket, perhaps? Maybe a hotkey to target unscanned targets, as well.

I'd also like to see the KWS as passive, not active. ie - it takes the same amount of time to scan, works the same way, but automatically starts when you target and face a ship, like the regular scanner that is already in the ship. Either that.. or let us bind it to a key other than a fire group...

I hate losing a fire group when doing a KWS, in a firefight, scanning and fighting is annoying when you are down a weapon...

And a way to cycle through only actual CMDR targets, skipping NPC's...

Absolutely. There's no diegetic reason for not doing it this way - and the way it is now doesn't add anything to the gameplay other than mild irritation.

I don't like the idea of KWS being passive - I do not want my target to know they are being scanned until I decide so.

A bindable hotkey is a great idea though.

They have already. Next time you KS something come back to the same target and you wil notice that the bar for the KS will be full.
