Orrery Map change

[mdmaniac44]

Currently, the system maps reset every time one closes out the map. This wasn't much of a problem (in most systems) with the old-style map but with the Orrery map, it can make things a bit more cumbersome.
I'd like to see a change where the Orrery Map remains focused where you left it so that when you're doing whatever you're doing in the system, one doesn't have to reorient and zoom and find the part of the map that one is interested in each time.

Remember the planets are moving in the game. They are not stationary and looking pretty. Some rotate around a star faster than others and if you leave for a few days. The rotation could be in a different area.

And? I'm not saying the map shouldn't move, just that the game should remember where one last had the camera pointed. I find it rather frustrating, especially in binary and trinary systems, to have to keep refocusing the map where I want to look. Sometimes, that involves rotating all over the place to get a full view and aint nobody got time for that!

100% agree I go to the system map, select a planet, select the Information tab to look at the materials, come out, go in next time and the 'overview' tab is selected again - so every time I go to look at planet info I have to reselect the tab.
I confess I really don't use the orrery much and that is partly because of it's resetting everytime one exits.
It would be nice if it remembered the location and zoom of the 'camera' until you exit the system.

Seems like it would be trivial to at least record the focus object for as long as you are in-system. If I enter system map, click on moon ABCD 7 d, zoom in until I can see it, and then exit system map, the next time I enter system map I could be at least centered on that object, perhaps even zoomed to the same level.

A key-bind to "zoom to current location" would also be nice, especially for binaries where zooming in without centering often zooms to empty space

If I'm not mistaken, didnt they add something like that in the last patch, something about zoom to current location.
