USS Suggestions

[StevoIRL]

Iv been doing some mission running tonight over the past hour or so and the whole loop of flying in circles waiting for a USS has been ing me off.
The major problem I find is that it's pot luck whether the USS you enter is relevant to what you are actually looking for. Since you have no way of knowing what the contents are you have to enter them which can waste several minutes.
What would make life a lot easier is if you could scan down USS which would give you a reading strength, this would be the "class" of the USS like the following

• Weak ( Loot drops),
• Medium (1 to two ships
• Strong (Numerous ships such as barges or fed groupings, heavy class ships)

It's pretty basic and no doubt can be improved but honestly the current system is just busy work and really detracts from the game.

What would your suggestion be for improving USS?

possibly instead of USS (which I think there are far far too many of floating around) it should be broken down something like:

Debris Detected - Cargo pickup or maybe literally just debris
distress signal - someone is being attacked by a pirate (with a chance it is som eone you are looking for in a kill mission)--maybe a pirate sending out a signal to lure in do-gooders!
already have 'luxuries sought' and weapons sought, these are mineral magpie type USS's, basically people buying things
Hail detected - someone is trying to get you to alter your mission
formation detected - wedding barge etc.?
USS reserved for something special - alien ship? wormhole? who knows, basically something extremely rare we haven't seen yet

any other anyone can think of?

Sounds more reasonable then this current system which makes very little sense. Even if you had to scan a USS to reveal the above I would be happy.
