Planetary map | Planetary waypoints implementation

BartV · Nov 4, 2017

Hi everyone,

I think I speak for everyone else if I say that navigating to a set of planet coordinates is an undoible job in Elite Dangerous. In order to improve this gameplay experience two simiple implementations need to be made.

Show coordinates on planetary mini map
Possibility to set waypoint on minimap that display on players hud.

Alot of players would be grateful, I ask Frontier confirmation if they are up-to-date on this problem?
Thank you.

Verification to notice would be appriciated by Frontier.

I think this is a MUST if not for anybody.

You got a rep point from me. I assume you're trying to bump the message?

At this point I would welcome just being able to see the coords of my mouse-over in a rendered surface map so I can navigate by landmarks and dead reckoning. Ideally, we SERIOUSLY need the ability to bookmark an exact coord on the surface map.

So, when it's Frontier going to implement this?

Given the glacial way upgrades and improvements are implemented in this game? *shrugging* Who knows? But it definitely won't be tomorrow.

Will you guys at Frontier say something about this like, we're working on it?

Even if we don't receive many tools in regard to planetary coordinates, we do need better conveyance of said coordinates. As of typing this, I don't even know where to find said coordinates. I'm sure I'll figure it out if I decide to look, but it seems either unnecessarily subtle or purposefully hidden from us beneath menus and hotkeys; neither are to anyone's benefit.
