map

A very small thing that's quite annoying in VR is that every time you open the system map it re-centers itself on the main star and you have to zoom out and slowly scroll over to a body to select it. It would be nice to have an option to always focus the view on the currently selected body when...

It is... a really big surprise to me, that as far as i know, Notable Stellar Phenomena appear in neither the discovery scanner, nor the system map. Only if you take an occasional look through the left-side navigation panel, which explorers rarely have reason to do, will you know if you have...

So, I sat down to play Elite today, on my xbox for a change, and quickly discovered that it was frustratingly difficult to tease any useful information out of the in-game map interface. When playing on the PC, we have quick and easy access to multiple third-party web sites to perform routine...

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?

As head of The Gnosis: Forgotten Initiative, I had the opportunity to fully map the closest systems to the perimeter of the permit locked zone. Thus, establishing the fence. Knowledge of this sector will greatly improve the quality of transportation. Please see the findings report and images...

Hello Frontier! Now that the free update is about to be released I think it's time to talk about the non-free stuff because you are professionals and you deserve to earn the fair amout of money for your time and your work. I'm not here to ask for baby dinos or benches or trash cans or whatever...

It's in the Assinda system.

Firstly, I made this composite using a few screens of the mission screen so we can get a clean look at JWE's map Very quickly, I began to realize that the points on the map, either the grey dots visible above or the emblems on the park select screen in career mode, had no relation with where...

Was just logging in today to gather intel on my next stretch, when I experienced the mother of all lags! Im about half way to Sag A, and have had lag before, but nothing like this. It was completely useless... So im wondering. Is there any trick to get around this? Ticking of every Star type...

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...

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.

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).

I remember as a kid having my mind blown by Elite and I played it obsessively despite the fact that docking was positively lethal more often then not which I found frustrating. My father noting my obsession bought me Frontier when it came out and the star map went on to become my most prized...

Good morning: I am an experienced player who plays the game with Oculus and who likes to play, especially in the role of merchant. I have a lot of fun when I fly my beautiful Imperial Cutter and, I make trade routes of "single hop trade" and without looking for profitability beyond the one I...

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...

In system map you can 'tab' on the display screen to a "Bookmarks" listing. It shows categories of planetary ports and Stations. If you added another category of "Services" below, it would speed finding certain services, vs. having to select each station/port bookmark and tab over to its...

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...

When I first started playing elite I was fascinated by the neutron stars and how you could use them to jump a much further distance then you would normally be able to. I have an interest in space/science stuff and knew the elite dangerous map was created to be as accurate as possible to real...

Hello all, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. While out in the black exploring I've run into an annoyance when it comes to binary planets giving the stat for the semi major axis of it's partner planet, however not it's semi major STELLAR axis. This seems like an annoying little le, however...

Like many I utilise Roccat's PowerGrid to extend my keyboard controls onto a couple of android devices. This thoroughly adds to immersion and investment in the gameplay. It's only real drawback for me is that it provides no feedback from the game data/conditions. What I would like to suggest...

My suggestions pertain to using the Galaxy Map to find Material Traders. There are two suggestions here that can be implemented separately from each other, but I do strongly recommend implementing both. (1) First, having Material Traders only show up in your in-game Galaxy Map when you...

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...

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...

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'. Trying to find personal weapons, it turns out that the map has very little idea about legality. It will happily show a station where stuff is banned...

Filtered Galaxy Map for "famine" systems. Checking out the pink stars - where the mouse-over pop-up indeed lists them in a state of FAMINE. But when you enter the system map and check through everything, actual states range from "NONE" to "BOOM" to "WAR" instead... How the hell I will find a...

(Lord knows I've searched but can't find a 'definitive' answer so, flameproof jacket on, ...) Firstly, yes - there is no 'up/down' in Space but this is in a conceptual 'mapping' context. I play ED with my son and we've been researching Galactic Co-ordinate systems and directional...

For a little background: I’m fairly new at ED with around 20 hours play time. Earlier tonight, I took a mission to deliver Boom Data to one system, then in route, a mission update came thru that changed the destination to Poppers Keep in the Hollatja system. A planetary outpost on Hollatja 2. No...

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...

While narrating in my video log 'while doing deep space exploration, I keep wondering how to describe, or name, the (what I call) "Parent Star" - the one about which all other bodies, including secondary stars, in the system orbit. For example, when looking at the system map 'where there are...

It may be a bit soon, we're not even in Q1 Update yet, but this could be a nice addition for the game once we get the exploration overhaul by the end of the year. I recently made a couple pictures of how I imagine some kind of sorting capabilities for the galmap bookmarks. This would be the...

i think it would be useful if we could have different coloured bookmarks that will have different meanings for us, so you can have the standard blue but have say green for exploring waypoints, red for places you've been just something like that (just the colours not really the reason for them)...

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.

I'm honestly serious here. Visual fidelity of the current VR devices aside. This is it. I wont be able to go back. Even with a beautiful wide screen monitor (That I never thought I would own either) Even with a device that allows my eyes to be tracked, or my heads movement to be transposed onto...

I find I visit a couple of systems regularly so it would be really handy if I could pick a system or two from the Galaxy Map & 'pin' them to the Systems list on the Navigation Panel, clicking on them generates the route from where ever I am. Neowave

I was so close to name the thread virtually impossible, but I didn't, and still did. However, I can not for the life of me understand how people using VR navigates the galaxy map. If I know I'll start up ED in VR I have to load ED on normal, know where I am going so I can bookmark everything...

Should Elite: Dangerous include a player avatar that can walk around the ship and enter spaceports etc..?
