Hello!
I'd like to humbly suggest a small change to the way the System Map is navigated. In the current implementation of the map, viewing the data for each element shown in it requires either a click or moving the rectangular selector with your controller (keys/gamepad) on top of it. My suggestion is that the data could be brought up simply by mousing over an item. Together with the zoom in/out functionality of the mouse wheel, this would enhance the usability of the System Map greatly as navigation would no longer require any clicking, provided the player has bound keys for exiting the map and scrolling it (WASD + space in my case).
I'm enjoying Elite Dangerous immensely, and have done a bit of exploring already with my trusty Cobra Mk III. One of the things I like the most is checking out the data I have freshly acquired, and sometimes reviewing it again just for fun. Long exploration sessions can then involve literally hundreds of mouse clicks within the System Map which sometimes feels a little burdensome.
