Add option to not autodraw all possible jumps when opening GalMap

I’m a bit confused... (nothing really new, there ;) )...

I thought the radio buttons directly selected the route plotting mode, and that at least one of them had to be selected (since it looks like a radio button array)?

If it is possible to unselect them all, what does the route plotter do when it tries to plot a route to a distant star? Does it always use the last mode selected, always use “Fast”, always use “Economical”, or something else entirely?

I would really like to get rid of the blue sea-urchin a lot of the time, but retain whichever plot mode I wanted. Which probably means I am in favour of the OP, but I really have no idea what is going on now :ROFLMAO::unsure:

Last mode. Op just wants another option to switch it on. Given the opacity of the current method I don't mind, but there are lots of things to fix 🤷‍♀️

It uses the last selected mode at this time. However, the jet-cone toggle will be disabled, as established earlier.

And yes, untoggling a radio button (which they do seem to be), makes no sense. I understand your confusion.

Click the 'Fast route' check again to make them vanish. You could reword your request as 'add a more obvious ....' - as it isn't :)

I think the fact that the selection is a Radio Button is quite sufficient.

Early on in playing the game I discovered that you can click off any of the route options to turn off those lines, and I always do that because the lines are annoying.

But, honestly, I always thought it was a bug. My reasoning for that thought being that typically, in a form that has radio buttons, you can't just click a radio button twice to "turn it off." Usually, a series of radio buttons conveys that "at least one of these options must be selected."

So I just thought it was a bug with a desirable side-effect and took advantage of it.
