Visualy see space landmarks,scoopable stars, create custom waypoints. that you can see.

Here is some concept art(ms paint) that i put together of a informative qol hud element feature, these aditional hud elements would only show up in your front window and as to not clutter up your screen you would have various options like named stars,inhabited stars,always on, nearby "within 100ly", and within jump range,star type filter,visited system. basicaly any filter thats in the galaxy map that you would use you could potentialy use in this.

Also you could just set it as more of a bookmark system so if you have 3-4 main systems you want to see or jump too often you could visualy see them, like a home system or trade rout. it would also be nice to color the lines, right now i have them as white but some players may want diferent colors asigned to diferent routs.

It would be helpfull in exploration and trading not having to reset your waypoint every stop, and finding scoopable stars without opening your map
or you could just turn it off and it would be like it is now for screenshots and stuff, like you do with orbital lines.

Obviously these options wouldent be in the comunications tab but the hud menu on the right screen

I like the idea but not sure it is technically feasible. The stars in the ship/pilot's view are a skybox drawing. I think other active HUD elements and work would be a priority over getting the skybox to be "live" or have active elements.

But +1 for a cool idea. We can hope.
 
Well just being able to see and select the stars without opening the map literally thousands and thousands of times, would be a huge update the the games playability.
and im pretty sure they are already part of the games "skybox" they are just hidden untill selected this would make it like "is withen - - degrees display star" sort of thing
