Would it be possible to make the mining surveyor button draggable to new positions away from the overload buttons? It’s so close that sometimes I accidently hit the latter and damage something. I know the damage is easily repaired, but it’s not well placed currently, and the ability to move it elsewhere would be appreciated! ---

A mining surveyor mod? You can move mods in any position you want that has a free slot ---

I think he’s talking about the new survey scanner icon and feature CCP implemented recently. Not in-game and didn’t bother to check if it can be dragged elsewhere but based on OP probably isn’t.

Just so, as you surmise. Sorry I wasn’t clear. ---
