SRV target scan analysis of geysers and fumaroles

[Galactic Fork]

This is mostly for atmosphere, but when you scan a ship, you're provided with details about it. I think it'd be nice fumaroles and geysers could be targeted by the SRV at very close range. It would then scan and give information about the geysers. Same Fungal cones and the brain tree things. Even if the description is "Uknown lifeform: Further analysis required."

Additionally it'd be nice to scan them for data and sell them to UCC or some Vulcanology or Astrobiology firms.

Great idea. I made similar suggestions back when 2.2 was in Beta. They definitely need more game-play than just being a source of materials. I think they should also potentially be a source of rare commodities that you can collect.
