I'm pretty sure most people didn't cheer the old exploration system and were expecting an update, it's just that this update killed a type of exploration gameplay.
You know it's more than that.
I sat and waited months for it instead of going out exploring. It was going to be the explorers expansion. It was gonna be great...

Yaw, pitch, tune axes. Zoom in/out buttons. What am I missing?
Activate Analysis mode
enter FSS
honk (can be same as FSS)
exit FSS (can be same as enter FSS)
optional:
stepped zoom in
stepped zoom out
To be honest, the biggest "challenge" - in my opinion - isn't the amount of buttons to set as it is done once, it's finding where to set what function in the rather convoluted keybinding menu of Elite Dangerous. (Yes, even that is quite manageable and only required once and therefore not really a big problem, more along the lines of a mild annoyance.)
Added a comment. It's a decent idea in principle but reinstating the old functionality would be my preference, it should not have been removed, only added to.

I like the general concept of AI crew doing stuff, but your implementation doesn't address the all the issues I have with the FSS.
1. Piloting is secondary to scanning in the exploration process, especially with your elite crew concept which would make the whole process completely passive
2. The FSS provides too much information
3. Probing is still the only reason to move around the system, and automating that leads to even more passivity
I get where you're coming from, but for me that would make things even worse than the current FSS.
Sorry for calling you good people psycho-whiney. Moving house, prepping x-mas, working full time, and awaiting surgery for a brutal hernia.
Stressed and in pain. I only want to fly my spaceship in peace
Had a hernia op myself a couple of years back. You are immediately and comprehensively forgiven.
(And rep'd for having the rare good grace to admit fault - sadly an internet rarity.)
Well I genuinely do worry. But if you're going to leave a thread, then that is entirely the sort of post with which to do it.

More involved markets.
Warning this is fake news feature
Now when you dock at a station you will be greeted with a list of brokers for each commodity. You can search the list and find the best deals.. like buying units from two or more different brokers, maybe more profitable than buying the same amount from just one broker.
- When you have found a broker you like the looks of, just click on the screen to bring up a negotiation page.
- You will have 3 attempts to settle on a price or be offered their default as listed on the main page +10% for wasting their time.
We hope this will add immersion and flexibility as you work on your personal narrative, allowing player to get the most out of freelance trading.
Response from community?
-Casual player and small traders: wow, this is so cool.
-Big haul traders: can I just buy it the old way , and have the option to use brokers

Can we has your stuff?
Nice strawman. Be careful as straw is easily flammable tho.
I think you are confusing a strawman argument with an analogy.
Nah, that was the textbook definition of straw man:
You literally setup a whole different and unrelated position from the original argument and presented as if "analogy".
Very intellectually dishonest [haha]
I think you are confusing the concepts of 'try to mislead' and 'help to understand'.
No one failed to understand the original argument about the FSS, AFAIK. Your straw man was completely unnecessary.
Mining got one thing right: They added tools, and new gameplay, on top of existing gameplay, without removing existing methods.
I think you are confusing me with another poster.
