Feature request - "Terminal mode" for bgan/light data usage.
The idea is a mode with the barest impact on data (essential for using bgans which have steep data costs) while at the same time providing a unique challenge for seasoned players.
Terminal mode mimics a text based terminal. You cannot see anything around you as the visual scanner is gone. The game does not tell you whats around you until you issue a scan command (with a button!) Which will tell you in text. To know if a portal has any links, fields, etc, you will need to scan it.
To avoid any unfair advantages, game actions are limited in this mode.
IMHO I think this "playing blind" has some appeal challenge wise. It certainly wouldn't be for everyone. And the minimal data transfer and receiving would be a Godsend to zero cell zone players.

They could just have an "scan now" button on the current interface (and an option to switch between auto and manual scans)
No need to dumb down the looks to a terminal since displaying the data isn't an issue in low-signal areas.
Just allow us to disable loading all pictures. This alone will save most of the data consumption.
