Frontier - Why have you not improved bookmarks?

I'm in beta, and you guys didn't even bother to increase the amount of bookmarks you can store. I've already reached the maximum limit, which is only around 100. That limit is basically nothing for explorers. It doesn't take that much work to increase the limit, and explorers could use it considering how much you have forgotten about us in the game. It's the simplest thing ever and it could help us out so much. I'm not even asking for you guys to make it user friendly by adding folders and color coating, which would be amazing. AT LEAST, increase the limit please.
 
There have been so many suggestions about colouring them, placing them in a tree layout to make finding specific BM's easier. If they've done nothing to even help with this situation, it shows they are going down their own route and little or nothing suggested by the players is even being considered. At present, you have a list of BM's as long as your arm and no way to organise them to make them easier to find, even without increasing the number. While I understand you dilemma about the number of BM's we can have, without some sort of way to order them, increasing the amount would only serve to make an even longer list to scroll down.

As a programmer myself, I know that creating an folder system for them wouldn't involve too much work really.

Not sure how the interface handles coloured text so I can't say too much about having player designated colours for them though. Considering how many lines need to be changed in order to simply change the base UI colour, I'd say the colour system was a little too complex for what it achieves, but that complexity could be useful in achieving other things as well. Not sure if it was designed with that in mind, (considering FD don't seem to be very forthcoming with their ideas for the future of the game).

Yeah, FD you could at least increase the number to 200 or something. I really hate having to delete an old bookmark to get room for a new one...
 
Yes - grouping, layering (show/hide), coloring, filtering by names or parts of would be an immense boon. Especially for explorers. Bookmarks are an essential explorer's tool.
 
All of this and adding the possibilty of bookmark places on planets, that would make the expansion of these limit and some way to organise it (folder tree) even more necessary.
