Exploration: Lagrange Points for Binary Planetary Systems

[Foos]

So, I've been exploring for the last month and am on my way back to the bubble. I've gotten pretty good at picking Terraform-Candidates off the system map based on star type/temp versus semi-major axis. The problem is that in about 60% of all of the systems I discover, there are binary planets and the way the System Map is setup, they do not convey the semi-major axis of their star orbit, but rather the semi-major axis of their orbits around one another. This is dumb. There is a Lagrange point which is the virtual mass both binary planets are orbiting around and that should absolutely be marked on the System Map and that Lagrange's point's semi-major axis (in AUs) should absolutely be available via a discovery scan. I've mocked up an example to show what I mean, a picture being worth at least five or six additional words:

It would make sense to show it. From a gameplay perspective, you could find interesting things "parked" at this point.

As far as visualization goes, I would personally find something like figure B to be more intuitive than figure A:

I think you're talking about barycenters, rather than Lagrange points.

For Lagrange points, the stable positions are L4 and L5, which are 60 degrees ahead/behind each other in the same orbit. These would be co-orbital rather than binary planets.

The binary planets we see in the game are orbiting a common barycenter.

But I agree, not displaying any orbital information on the barycenter leaves a huge gap in the data that is available. And on that note, it would be cool if they'd start including the Longitude of Ascending Node in the orbital parameters. It takes 6 numbers to fully describe an orbit, and they only include 5.

THANK YOU. I couldn't for the life of me remember the term, I was almost positive it wasn't Lagrange, but the correct one just wouldn't come. Appreciate the correction!
