SUGGSTION - Chained Missions - Highlight System on Galmap to Facilitate Navigation

[Derek Speare [VR]]

I received a "chained" mission yesterday to either take the stuff to the system as planned or take it somewhere else for more monies. The system name was indicated in the mission update message. I opened the galmap to locate the system, hoping the new target system would be outlined with the blue ring. It wasn't, and that made me type in the proposed system's name.

Now it sounds minor, but VR users like myself will find this a strain to do it. Since the system is ringed in Mission Board missions (when you push the "Open Map" button), perhaps it's beneficial to do the same when a chained mission happens along and a new system is proposed as well. It would make "navigation on the fly" quite a bit easier for all, and for VR users quite a bit better.

Thanks for reading!

For the record, that's not a Chained Mission, that's a regular Mission Branch-or mission wrinkle. A chained mission pops up *after* you've finished a mission for a faction. It will be at the top of the mission offers for that faction (under the heading "Follow On Missions") & will have a chain icon next to it.

Just thought I would clarify for you.

Whatever it is - it gave me the option to take it or leave it; i.e. deliver as agreed or divert elsewhere for more monies. But getting wrapped up in the minutia of what it's called isn't the essence of my suggestion. It would be good to see the blue ring around the proposed system to facilitate easier decisions and navigation.

Fly safe!
