Bookmarks....what is our limit?

[AreZee]

I'm currently out to hunt neutron stars and ran into the ~128 bookmark limit myself. Whoever set that limit so low ... well whatever ... [hotas]

Too costly for server space for more than 200 bookmarks?

When will Fdev stop scrimping and diddling us players in this "Triple A" game?

Exactly my sentiment. 200 is not enough for deep mapping of interesting found areas.
Explorers need more bookmarks.

Just like the 300 mats limit being raised to 600(I believe it will go up to 1000) , Bookmarks will get some loving too(soon)

Yes, just ran into that #128 bookmark issue as well... it's a shame that we have this kind of 7bit restriction in the year 3302

In a version of the game recently released with great fanfare as fully 64 bit...

I see this hasn't been resolved. Such a shame.

The limit is there so that Sidewinder sales don't drop off too severely.

 

[Demilikos]

I just found out about this limit while failing to bookmark my finds halfway through a nebula. Shame.

Only 9000 light years away from the buble and I ran out of bookmarks. Got to google and I find this thread and THIS - 127 limit.
Are you even trying, Frontier? WHY!? How should I mark my travel rout across the galaxy now? It's SOOOOOOO disappointing...

The bookmarks are kept on the server.. It has to transfer them to you, and it has to store them. 200 bookmarks for 1.3 odd million customers.. works out to be a lot of bytes.

Considering they keep track of every single thing you've scanned/discovered, and what level you've scanned it at, and whether you have sold the data or not, I doubt this is the issue.

(You can go back to a system you only partially scanned and then sold the first time, and scan and then sell the remaining bodies; I'm not sure if you can L3 something you only previously L2ed or not, they may not store the level once its sold, but they definitely keep track of discovered vs detail scanned.).

I would love to see folders/categories/colors/filters for bookmarks. If its a performance issue, the filters/categories could limit how many bookmarks are being displayed. They could also have "global" bookmarks that are always visible (and limit the number of those), and "local" bookmarks that are only shown if I am currently within a 1000ly (or some number) of them.
