Improve Navigation Panel filtering

[Dougie]

Can we have a change to the filters in the ships' LHS Navigation panel in such a way that planetary ports are separated from settlements? For example, in the system shown below there are 57 settlements and one actual planetary port - it takes an age to scroll through the settlements to find the port. Filtering out settlements also filters out the planetary port so that is no help.

Maybe make the "Stations" filter option also include planetary ports?

If you open the system map instead of the nav panel you can see it right away. Under points of interest there's a separate section for planetary ports and planetary settlements, but sometimes the system map takes a long time to load, but it is much faster than scrolling through the nav panel if there is only a single Planetary Port. The system map got a big update with Odyssey, it's a pity they didn't include some of that extra functionality in the nav panel, but if there is only one port you can find it right away in the system map, no scrolling required. Maybe one day we will get an update of the nav panel, it does lack some useful functionality.

I know about the system map filters / selections but if I want to select from the Nav panel it is a pain, some places worse than others. Especially since the system map is a right pain at times itself - loading / exiting delays etc. so I tend not to use that in the main anyway.

Yeah, get a system full of FC's and I have to sometimes try a couple of times just to get the system map to load. In your average system with no floods of FC's it's ok, but yes the Nav panel is handy for a lot of things, just not well organised, could be much better.
