Make all explorers happy and put a waypoint system in Galaxy map.. I think its something ALL people who play elite want.. Why the devs are not doing it ???

you can basically make your own waypoints using bookmarks, saw this image on another thread:

Hey, that's a neat idea! As long as Frontier doesn't come up with something better, I'm so gonna steal that one for my own trips!

Only problem with bookmarks is bookmarked systems aren't indicated in nav panel in-cockpit; you have to be in galaxy map mode to see them. Sadpanda.

They're also indicated in the system view, by the way.

Do you really want them to spend a lot of time implementing a system like this to save you a few seconds rather than add new gameplay? A waypoint system will come when theres an opportunity to fit it in without wasting a lot of time.

All that's required is to replace the 'Galactic Powers' thing with a 'Bookmarks' thing in the Navigation panel.

I thought the bookmark system also but its limited(you can use up to a number bookmarks only). And dosent save you the time to do anything. The same thing you did before you will do after, open galaxy map plot manualy curse and jump..

That's a technical limitation with route plotting currently requiring the galaxy map to be open. It is a possibility though that the immediately reachable bookmarked systems might be visible there Soon™.
