    [Theory] StellarForge tracks Stars through their entire lifecycle

    UPDATED: Incorrect Premise: "Previous research by individual commanders (Jackie Silver, Alot and other Commanders [1]) claims that only AA-A boxels can contain a H size system, and that there should only be one H size system per boxel." [2][3] Corrected Premise: A common misconception existing...

    Lore improvement? Option to make peace with Goids

    Hey, I know it's kinda agains the community opinion, but can we at least consider this: Add a CG/Lore events for those who believe we can make a peace with Goids Stop talking about Goids as agressors Can we? Just think about this: in both galaxy wars (Goids vs. Protoss Guardians, Goids vs...

    Thoughts about shooting stuff, the game world, and aliens.

    O7 Commanders! First of all, I will start by saying that I am not an expert in the field of video game development, I also have no experience in writing detailed articles, reviews or notes. Nevertheless, I have been playing games of different genres for a long time and, in general, I have some...

    [Galaxy Map] Show more stars with less filters

    Hello, quick request. When you limit the galaxy map to just show 1 type of rare system using any filter, would it be possible for the actual map to display more stars from further away? When I'm looking for say, neutron stars, or civil unrest systems, I have just 1 filter active, so the map is...

    Back In The Bubble...

    ...from a trip to Beagle Point, thought I would give ED a rest and revisit some old favourites. Problem is... SCS keep updating ETS2 and breaking the ProMods map add-on which gives a whole lot more Europe to explore, including some spectacular roads in Scandinavia and Iceland. Deus EX HR...

    Raxxla. I just want to ask a question. (Google translator)

    greetings commanders !! where is this system? (this is in the ps4 trailer) I was looking at the center of the raxxla symbol and remembered this distinctive mark on the planet. I do not vary much of activity but also do not remember this marking in the game.

    What is E:D galaxy missing? (list)

    Lets make a somewhat complete list of what Frontier has no (yet) put into/around the galaxy. Would love to see some more of these put into the game. This post will be updated if people come up with more. Comets Asteroids not contained in belts Having only generic star types. (sub types like...

    Galaxy Map QOL Tweak: Allow Station Select from Galaxy Map w/o setting commod. filter

    The ability to select a route directly to a given starport/station/outpost from the galaxy map directly if we have the exploration data, and know the name of the desired destination would be a nice QOL improvement. Currently one needs to use a commodity filter to be able to select a route to a...

    Route plotting - show us the failed route!

    Currently when Route Plotting fails, it just said "Route plotting failed" and doesn't show what it managed to calculate. Can you please change it so that it does? At least that would let us follow the route as far as it goes and then give us the option to recalculate and replot via an...

    Can we get better Galaxy Map search functionality please?

    Right now the search in Galaxy Map is extremely basic and awful. We have a ton of information there that we simply can't use to refine our exploration. We know all the stellar components of a system without exploring, we have the sector names and mass codes too (A-H). And we also know how far...

    Galaxy-Wide Cartographic Data for Explored Systems

    One of the changes to exploration in "Beyond" is the ability to see anything already discovered by another CMDR in our system map, while hiding those planets not yet discovered. I love this! However, this network of shared cartographic data needs to be "unlocked" for each and every system by...

    Mission target?

    Am i missing something? (Probably) but i seem to remember that when selecting a mission from the left tab and opening the galaxy map it took me to my destination and i just selectd it, now it seems i have to manually search for the system and select it that way? Any ideas?

    Is star rotation ever coming back?

    Some time around 2016, something dramatic happened in the Elite Dangerous galaxy. Every single star, apart from neutron stars and white dwarves, stopped moving and solidified in their place. All star rotation in the game was removed, and now (almost) every star looks completely static...

    Stored Modules Sorting and Bookmarks

    Can we please have a way to sort stored modules by size instead of price? price, for me at least, is irrelevant when swapping loadouts. Option to sort by Price, Size, or Type. Also, why is there a limit on bookmarks in the galaxy map?

    What interesting things could the galaxy be seeded with?

    Id like to see some unique persistent items that only one player at a time can have in there possession. Maybe the Rosetta Stone was stolen in 2400 and is floating out in space somewhere. Maybe a player finds it can sell it for a huge sum of money on the black market or another player kills them...

    SagDeg

    The Sagittarius dwarf elliptical galaxy (SagDeg) is the closest galaxy to our own at 70,000 light years from sol. Any idea if it exits in the game, and if so, is it reachable? The only thing I know about location is that you’d be passing thru/near beagle point to get there. I know it’d take some...

    Galaxy map LAG

    [Hey, Frontier!] What I want from the Galaxy Map

    I suppose I could post this to Suggestions but it'd probably get lost in there. But on coming back to ED one of the things that still really irritates me from an exploration point of view is the Galaxy Map. Basically, it's next to useless. We have a load of information available to us in the...

    Galaxy map, visited

    Hi. Instead of having the 'visited systems' as a tab on its own, could we get it just as a button to toggle on/off when using the other filters such as star class? On that note, it would be nice to be able to sort systems by weight in the same way you can sort by population.

    Beyond Changes

    Galaxy Map in VR left/right stereo view isn't synchronized

    Anybody else have this problem? It makes the Galaxy Map rather disturbing to look at. It might not be by a lot, but it's noticeable when you pan the view. In addition, the grid jitters (I know that's a known bug, doesn't seem to be very prioritized, but oh well w/e).

    Make the Galaxy Map VR friendly and one more suggestion

    The Galaxy map is great on desktop but it is complete rubbish in VR. You can't type the name of systems in VR (unless you are a master typist who can type blind) because there is no virtual keyboard. This tech exists already in many games and would be easy to implement in ED. It would make the...

    Galaxy map - please combine multiple filters

    Currently in beyond the galaxy map can only filter systems using one filter, either by state,security,government,services,etc. Whilst this is a good start it really doesn’t reduce the number of systems to a manage level when looking for anarchy systems with military economies for example...

    Odd Stars On Galaxy Map (Unreachable)

    Material Traders and the Galaxy Map filters

    VR panels (galaxy & system map, outfitting etc) QoL pass

    I know that VR player base may be limited but for me this is a number one issue that actually stops me from playing ED on a regular basis. After experiencing VR I can't force myself go back to playing on flat screen. But in VR this issue is making me quit after a short while. For me it's nausea...

    Ability to turn off star lines in Galaxy Map without disabling jet cone boost - Quality of Life fix

    Please, we have the option to turn off the grid in the Galaxy Map, so can't you add one to turn off the green star lines? When you have a long range ship it becomes a real mess. I can't see the colours of the systems nearby due to all the green lines. I really don't see the purpose in having...

    Galaxy map trade feature lacks context and short-term memory

    So in the "I wish I had had more time for beta" section, it feels like the new "commodity finder" feature on the galaxy map is pretty howyadoin'.

    When in the Galaxy map, the button looks normal, but clicking it does nothing - either to create or delete. When in a System map, the button has the "processing" animation indefinitely - doesn't change after 10 minutes either. Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around / fix? Do I need to...

    different bookmark colours

    Show/hide discovered systems in galaxy map

    As the title states: It would be cool if i could enter an area while exploring and toggle ON/OFF in the galaxy map to show discovered systems. Even if it was just my own discoveries, it would make it a lot easier to map out an area without running in circles.
