Could you link to that reddit post please ... I'm very interested in there being co-ordinates on the HUD.

IIRC they will be more like Outposts than the Coriolis or Orbis. So, more PG and more variety.
Still my guess is FD won't spice them up with input from the background sim as much as they could. Like state of war, poverty, famine, and colors and banners based on affiliation and local factions and local product billboards and such. Hopefully that is on the roadmap or wish-list somewhere.

No, obviously not.
Besides, as of 2015 there is no official category called Desert Planets. So desert planets could be anything. In this game I assume their just hot dry planets that look like the Sahara desert(atmosphere or not).

Did anyone notice that instead of a small triangle in the center of the sensor disc there is an image of the SRV?
Could portend a change for the ship-board display?
Also, "Data Link Scan" on the secondary weapon spot on the left.
Also, the height stalk of the targeted SRV showed it above the level of the driver's SRV, which was not correct... hope that gets fixed.
@Alien, you can see the Lat/Lon coordinates in the video DB posted if you can watch it.

You crazy wonderful people, you've only gone and put TrackMania in my quiet little space trading game. \o/
What i mean is one user in reddit noticed something i didn't (new co-ordinates thing under altimeter).
Cmdr who noticed (and made me notice) mentioned it here:

That's something I'd really like to know, too.
Are they "tile-based"-procedurally generated?
Totally manually "authored"? Which would probably mean we only have a handful of variations in the bubble?
"Data Link Scan" will be the outpost hacking that has been mentioned.
This question was asked and answered in one of DB's Q&As recently, but I can't recall the exact answer!
Other than it being very nice - the other thing that struck me is the lack of people or vehicles. You'd think there would be construction vehicles moving around or people in space suits...
It seems very lifeless.
