Newcomer / Intro Galaxy - How do I search using coordinate?

[Aegis I]

I've read somewhere that you can search for coordinate at the navigation panel but I don't seem to be able to search anything. Any pointer? Maybe specific format is required?

Hi,

Yes you can, although I haven't tried it yet....

Galactic map co-ordinate system : X,Y,Z e.g. -500, 200, 6562
First number is the lateral position(left/right) on the map
2nd number is height(up/down)
3rd is depth(from nearest to the civilisation bubble, to the core and beyond)
0,0,0 is SOL

Regards

I've never been able to get it to work!

I've never tried it, keep meaning to give it a go.

Anyone out there tried this and got it to work?

Tried to search for Sol (0, 0, 0) and doesn't work somehow. It returns no result unfortunately.

Also, just tried it.... Oh well, that was some dud info.

 

[Undecided]

Tried a bunch of different formats and couldn't get results either.

I think you have to do it manually by moving around the map rather than typing a star's coordinates in the search field. There are sites which might help locate stars but they are probably limited to inhabited space. You could try http://www.edgalaxymap.com/ or http://starchart.club/map/ with the latter displaying coordinates when clicking on the systems.

For anyone confused by the numbers in the coordinates, here is how I locate first Sol ( 0:0:0 ) and then Wonorne Nu ( -69.5:-47:-50 ) .
