I know the dev's were pressed for time on getting the route planner in the game, and even with the bugs its better than nothing. Much appreciated!
But I would really like a custom route planner in the game. Players should be able to build a route by selecting and adding individual waypoints themselves. These would be stored as a list of waypoints. Functionality for modifying the list should be present within the galaxy map. In addition I should be able to save/load/delete a list, and any list should be sharable between players! (send to player)
Basic Functionality list :
Move waypoint (up/down the list).
Replace waypoint (replace a waypoint with another).
Delete waypoint (remove it from the list).
With custom lists, as waypoints are added galaxy map lines are drawn between interconnecting stars above and below in the list, and should show if the jump can be made (ie green = good, Orange = Issue, red = bad) and the associated error if bad ie "Out of jump distance" or "Not enough fuel".
If a custom route list is active or selected, it would replace the star list in the navigation panel, inclusive of cancel list!
Just a basic example, im sure it could be much much more verbose !
and saves me from having to alta tab for short routes. But still better to use my route planner for higher than 50 LY, so it turned like I thought it would turn from my suspicion of how it would work ingame.
