Galaxy Map improved functionality

[Jarrek2002]

Hello,

I would like to propose the following improvements to the Galaxy Map:

1. Ensure planet colonies are included in the filter for "economy type"
   • Currently only showing station/outpost economies
2. Add a filter for system reputation and WANTED status (of the currently controlling minor faction)
   • This will greatly improve trip planning and mission selection for the player
3. Add a radius filter to the map, so that we could filter systems that are between 2 user-defined distances away. Examples would be to show all systems between 20 and 200 LY away, or 0 and 1000.
   • This would aid in efforts that involve studying the galaxy and system maps (prospecting, rare trading, jumping/fuel-scoop planning, etc)
4. Add some way to indicate systems we've visited and/or scanned
   • Excellent for explorers and anyone needing to retrace their footsteps
5. Add an ability to save waypoints and favorite systems/stations
   • Great for traders and mission runners
   • Aids in setting up a home base

Many thanks!

Good ideas, second that.

This^^^^
(and also the other suggestions...)

I would also like to add that it would be nice to have a search/filter function for your visited systems. Make it easy for us to find planets, stars and other objects based on type, size, mass, ring types, etc... If this isn't implemented simply because FDev is afraid of the added server load during searches, I don't see no harm in the game saving personal cartography history on your local PC.
