The edge of the minimap is at 100 m. I tested that by finding where I was in relation to a null cannon when the null cannon will appear on the minimap.
There are concentric circles and tic marks inside of the minimap, which appear to represent 12.5 meter intervals.
That means that the small circle represents a 25 m radius and the next concentric circle represents 62.5 m.
If my scan radius is 10 m, then that would be a super small circle at the center of the minimap!!!!!
Enhancing scan range by 10% would be pointless as I still wouldn't be able to tell what is going on in the tiny middle area of the minimap.
Is there a way to enlarge the minimap so that I can actually determine what's going on close to me, since that is where my dropsuit scan is effective?
What is the range of my weapon compared to the size of the minimap? A visual indicator would be very helpful.

ultimately what I would like to get across is that 100m on your mini map is perfect, too close and you won't see what's going on within enemies effective ranges, too far out and it would become difficult to decide who is close enough to consider a threat.
Thank you for your reply. I want to enlarge the minimap, which means to make it bigger on the screen. I don't want to change the 100 m radius. The problem is that it is so small that I cannot tell what is happening within 10 m of my merc, which is critical when hacking.
Thanks, for the weapon range info!!

Sure no problem, I do try to help in any way I can. as to making it larger in general only thing I can think of to solve this problem would be to get an HDTV or if you already have one... get a bigger one  sorry that there is no easier solution at this time.
That's ok. I am playing on a 10 ft 1080P screen and cannot determine what is happening within the tiny center circle of the minimap. Perhaps I am the only player who has this problem or thinks that information would be useful. Maybe I will recommend an enlarged transparent overlay that can easily be toggled on/off as a feature for a future release :)

But no unfortunately, no enlarging the minimap at this point in time.
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
