Add Expansion System to Faction Summary Text

When a minor faction is expanding, the Station Services' Faction Summary tells us. However, it doesn't tell us to which system they're expanding. Please add this to the text of the Faction Summary. It's a waste of my time to search the galaxy map & each system map to find out the system - if I can find it at all.

Mods: I couldn't find this as previously suggested, but if it has please merge this to it.

Thank you

Do you mean before or after the expansion has happened?

After, yes, something like "Expansion in X has finished, expanded to Y" would be great.

Before would be trickier - the destination is only chosen when the expansion happens, so any estimates would only be that. Wording in the limited space available to stop the inevitable stream of "it said expanding to X but we went to Y" bug reports might be difficult.

(But then, for planned expansions, knowing where you're likely to end up before ever pushing the influence over 75% in the first place is pretty valuable, which means either extensive in-game manual surveying or a 3rd-party calculation assistant anyway)

Only once the expansion begins. For the reason you mentioned, "the destination is only chosen when the expansion happens," it couldn't (or shouldn't) be displayed until the expansion starts.

EDIT: I assume the current method would remain in place pre-expansion
