System Map

[thehairymob]

Since 1.2 that will be with us tomorrow doesn't have the upgrades speculated in the forums can FD at least add some distances from the main star we jumped into system to the map. As the map stands at the moment it is less than basic. We explorers need some love from the devs so please give the system map some useful info that would make us all feel better.

I am not bothered by distances not being on the map. What I would really like is to be able to route to stations directly from the map - ie click on the station icon, menu comes up, choose Plot Route, and away we go.

We thought that might be in 1.2 but sadly no. I just think putting the distances would be easy to implement as they are already on the list on side panel.

I just want this

The dream or the way it should have been. I remember when playing EF II dreaming of that but instead we get the system map not evelving at all from back then.

As far as I know, exiting SC near the stars has something to do with the scientific design on the game and the Newtonian principles. Flying at those HyperSpeeds (travelling between systems), you need (can) disengage your travelling, using the mass of the biggest star @ your arrival system.

That's why Exiting Supercruise @ a given Starpost, Space Stations, is nearly impossible, because their masses are insignificant for exiting SC high speeds.

Just for adding Realism to the game

Don't think he's asking for jump to station; he just wants selectable waypoints from the system map instead of having to check the sys map then back out and go to the nav panel to select.
