scanning asteroids

Jan 26, 2017 Cellocho link
Very small bug here but if I log into the game and launch a ship equipped with a scanner I don't get any information about my target asteroid (or any asteroid) until I mine the first unit of ore. I could fly up to any number of asteroids and get nothing, once I mine one ore it works fine for the rest of the gaming session. I fly near the asteroids and I get the composition without having to mine.

Thanks for the report. Does it happen every time or only sometimes?
Do you have any other plugins installed? If so, remove them and try again.

It happens every time. I'm playing on my samsung s7 so android, on my gear VR, no plug-ins. Totally vanilla set-up.

Same setup and same symptoms. Minor annoyance, but it was a pain to figure out what was going on. I just fly up to the first rock I see and mine a unit. Problem solved.

It's not really problem solved EO, as many people will want to just scan a good field, not stop and mine everyone.

Right. Poor wording on my part.

I should have stated that it's not a show-stopper for me as I'm okay with the workaround for now. I too would like to see a real solution get put into the queue of fixes.
