Large pad map filter

[Malkevin]

Why is there not a map filter for systems that have large landing pads?


Sure you can take a good guess by fiddling with the population filters but if the system has an agro world they'll be a false positive.

Pretty much every populated systems has a large landing pad if you own Horizons. For non horizons users it is fairly simple to figure out, systems with large starports don't require data to view the system map, if you have to buy data to view the map, guaranteed it will only contain outposts.

Just review the System Maps. They will display what types of stations are available.

Yes, but that's not a filter. Trying to find a good industrial base to buy a mission good gets tedious if you need to look at the system map of 20 nearby systems and they all have outposts only.

You can try to use EDDB, it's a database that can sort for what you are looking for.

This exactly.

I know external tools exist but this is really simple functionality that should exist in game.

If I'm planning a route somewhere thats just slightly beyond my fuel range I'd rather pick a refueling station rather than swap racks for fuel or scoop, it'd be nice to see at a glance if one of the systems near the end of my fuel range is dockable without having to click around and wait for the slow system map to load up.
There's plenty of coriolis stations in low pop systems by the way.

I would prefer a refuel service for large ships at outposts, just increase the fuel costs. They could also implement cargo transfer ships which take 50% of your profits.
