The nav beacon is 100x better. Just filter your nav panel to only signal sources and scan the nav beacon.
Yes it's odd that a navigation beacon can translate signal sources.
The FSS is like a lingering fart left in an elevator when you have 46 floors to go, you tolerate it to get to your destination but by heck it stinks.

And since the nav beacon resolves all, why not have the signal sources do the same in the FSS? once you find that frequency, they all resolve if they are the same kind.
How nav beacon handles signal sources which just appeared? Should I go to main star again to scan the nav beacon? I suspect that could be very time consuming.
It's the new Hotel California, at least I can claim to have participated in the original thread.
The galaxy map is not too bad in VR. It must be binding issues that you are struggling with. Are you trying to use a mouse in VR with the galaxy map?
Pointless whining if you do not explain what kind of changes you have in mind.
Your ideas might be interesting, but will we ever know?
I found post 58, would be better to put that in the op.
FSS - Finally Stopped Sleeping

Yeah, it gives me nightmares too.
It keeps me up, wanting to see what’s beyond the next jump. But we’ve been here, done this, too many times.
Yeah, but bickering about the FSS is more fun than working, so here we are...
You don’t have my job, and I’m on lunch.
For those under the age of ten ‘The Fart’ is one of the greatest things in the universe, an item of endless wonder and limitless fun, as anyone one who has/had children or grandchildren of that can age attest. The memory of the oft said phrase “mummy mummy daddy trumped a bad one” still makes me burst out laughing all these years on. Even now as I hurtle toward my dotage I feel ‘The Fart’ should be embraced for the great leveller it is. It is an art form in the truest sense of the word, incorporating timing, delivery and location is no easy task requiring endless practice over years of dedication and I stand and applaud all those who walk this thankless path.
I ask thee “do not mock ‘The Fart’ but instead take a moment to bask in its glory, see it for the masterpiece of comedy it is as you did as a child and remember at that moment you could be in the presence of pure genius”.

Actually that's a very good point.
No, I use my HOTAS and look at what I want, I can center the reticle but the system/planet that offers information is elsewhere.
Since they don't necessarily spawn near you, it's a toss up. You don't have to travel back to the star, you can jump out and back in. I don't stick around after the nav beacon scan, if there are HGEs I'll go after them. Once I get them I go elsewhere. I feel the odds of getting enough new ones to matter coupled with the time sink to scan vs just jumping to a new system doesn't justify it. That's my opinion only. Results may vary.
That's odd. I don't seem to have that issue.
