Dear Fdev, please add a persistent, reset-able odometer and system, body, surface coordinates to suit HUD's

[DBForthright]

Dear Fdev
I like your game a lot. I do a lot of exo-biology and Planet-scanning.
Please can you add an all mode distance tracker for suits, vehicles, ships. I wish to see how far I am from the bacterium I just scanned, am I 500m away yet? -without getting out of my SRV and turning around, then waiting for the environmental stats to flash on the compass.
I also deeply enjoy taking screenshots of life forms, planets and from the tops of hills. Please can you put an option to have the suit HUD display the system and body beside the surface coordinates.
Thanks for reading this far. Cmdr dbForthright

Edit 3:08 26/5/22 Additionally; is it possible to add SRV deployment to the ship boarding menu. Don't teleport me into the SRV, just eject it from the ship. Regards

A nice custom nav marker would work quite nicely , also I like the SRV deploy idea

If you want to know things like distance from your last sample, with notifications, go to Elite Observatory and get the plugins. Best.

Interesting. Can anyone recommend mods from

Third party tools & mods for Elite: Dangerous - EDCodex

[Anticon]

Yes. I repeat: Elite Observatory. Also EDHM.

Mmm, I think a built in odometer is a more seamless and simple fix.

I think they could add the clock in somewhere too, like we have in ships and SRVs. I take my time doing some missions stealthily, and often don't realise how late it's getting until I get back to my ship.

Yeah, I'm terrible at bedtimes with this game. You have to do them stealthily though. I just wish there was a handy and effective silent/ non lethal option.

Maybe, a clock on your desk?

In val's defence i have a large clock on the wall
I still forget to looklol

 

[metatheurgist]

Good thing about the x52, clock right on the LCD in front of you.

Not a great solution but several pages in the UI wheel have the time.

I would still try to ignor it subconsciously because I would be too interested in getting that power regulator back...……….

 

[DBForthright]

I have a clock on my desk, and my phone on a stand. The problem is I keep thinking to do one. more. thing. - Or I line up a sequence of timed missions that take longer than I expected to finish.
