Hi,
Many love the new FSS, some don't. For me, anything which takes the player out-of-cockpit goes against the original ED design ethos.
So, why not make everyone happy by extending the FSS so that bodies are populated on the system map ?
This can be absolutely minimal info - just enough to enable the pre-FSS ability to target bodies in a system and fly to them for scanning.
Showing 'here be something' on the system map ties in nicely with the 'here be blue blobs' on the FSS.
Commanders would then be able to enjoy the new "FSS , Resolve and Go" gameplay or return to what I love, 'Fly to Explore'.
Note that I'm not suggesting a return to the God Honk of the ADS, only populate the system map with minimum info. Just enough to allow commanders to target them and fly-by scan.
Cheers,
Rob
