At the moment, when you select a system to jump to, it appears on the HUD.
All well and good.
But, how about this : You press a toggle button which brings up all of the systems within range, but with filtering and coloured based on your selections in the galaxy map, and also filtered based on a "zoom" ability (like on the scanner) which changes the maximum distance it looks out to (with 100% being your maximum jump range, because it would be a nightmare in the core!).
These systems would be select-able using the "Select Forward" key.
A couple of examples:
If you were filtered based on star type, and only had OBAFGKM stars turn on (because you want to find a star you can refuel at), it would only bring up destinations on your HUD with those criteria (with the destination circles in the star colour)
If you were in the bubble and you filtered by economy, with refinery selected (because you're out mining, and will want to sell your minerals), it would bring up those.
If you were out wandering, and filtered by visited stars, you would see Red destinations for those not visited, and Cyan ones for those visited.
In the bubble, you could filter by state, and go to systems at War.
None of this is to replace the current ways of selecting a destination, just to give the option of another way of doing so.
