New layers of mining scanner

Nov 17, 2004 ctishman link
May I suggest that multiple layers of mining scanner be implemented? More complexity=good!

For example, the first level just shows what ores are present, not percentages or heat.

Second level adds heat recognition

Third level adds ore percentages

I'd like to have more types of scanners, but I think temperature and ore content are important enough they should always be shown. What I think would be better would be higher level scanners with a longer range, so I can find which 'roid I want to mine faster.

Longer range is a great idea - heat, however, is actually sensed by the mining array, and actual ore composition is, like, what the scanner is for. That's ALL the scanner shows.
