Object Distance From Nav Beacon Displayed In Map

[Honeycone]

Hi!

I'd like for the systems maps to contain an additional piece of info: Distance from navigation beacon. This will give the player a much better understanding of the system their about to enter. Because it's a big difference to super cruise to a station that's 300 Ls away from the nav beacon and to super cruise to a station that's 116,398 Ls away from the nav beacon.

It kind of already does...

The nav beacon will be right beside the biggest star (if there is one) and the semi-major axis given against bodies in the system map will give you their approximate distance from the body they orbit.

So if your station is orbiting a planet with a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU then the station will be ~750ls away when you jump in.
