Have warnings and sounds in the map view, prioritize making a route to the selected system

[TA5E]

Just unknowingly died to a station while waiting for the bad route algorithm to make a route to a system 100 Ly away.

Prioritize the selected system, I don't want to wait for it to route a 100 Ly sphere, thanks.

Also add notifications and/or sounds to the map. There is no way to know if you're being shot or running into something while using the map.


BTW, calling it: "Don't use the map unless you're docked." This is not a solution, just a way to avoid the problem at the cost of functionality.

i second that. i almost died a few times myself. or allow for further jumps but at the 100ly mark from jump plan have a stand by calculating jump plan wait 10-20 seconds they then allow the rest of the jump plan.

Or you make sure your ships is in a safe position before looking at your map, Just like in Real life .

Routing stops at 100 Ly, doesn't progress further.

Putting selected location into the route panel doesn't do anything to help getting a route faster. Seems like that's an unimplemented feature or a misleading label. You'dd assume having a panel called "Route" with a "Current" and "Selected" location would calculate a route between those 2.

You're right, I don't use my built-in map while flying my spaceship across the endless universe in real life. I use Google Maps.

And either way, called it. Not a solution, just a work-around at the cost of functionality (in-flight map). \

Thanks for reading. /s

Yeah I did many times, traveling 3000 ls and still being interdicted. I even tried jumping out of supercruise as 4000 ls but still got attacked.
