Something that would be incredibly useful for explorers and very simple to implement

[pepaigea]

Imagine, you open up the system map. Next to each terraformable planet, there is a small green Earth icon. Similarly, there is a small red geyser icon next to planets with geological features. Finally, there is a small blue plant icon next to planets that have biological features on them.

This would save me and many other explorers SO MUCH TIME of painstakingly clicking on each planet just to find out if they are terraformable or not and/or see what features they have.

Here is some very rough concept art of what this could look like:

Have you tried installing EDDiscovery? It has a system bodies view with almost exactly this feature.

That's all well and good, but third party tools existing shouldn't free Frontier of their responsibility to make this game better.

When you only find one interesting planet in the system, it will help.
When you find 20 out of 85 interesting planets, it's getting anoying

Alt-Tab to EDDiscovery or Observatory
Searching the planets you scanned and you could find interesting
Alt-Tab to the Game
System Map
Searching / Selecting the planet
Go for it
repeat

Anything that helps to reduce the amount of selecting & clicking works for me. The Odd UI changes do not appear to have been done to help the player however. I think it's supposed to be a (frustrating) process.
