To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

System map centering: what do you expect?

In FE2 you used to be able to press C to center the system map. Pioneer doesn't have it, and I know its trivial, but its a nice little touch. I implemented a version that smoothly moves the position back to the current system and with shift, resets zoom and rotation as well.

Before I submit a patch, I thought I'd check if that's what you'd expect it to do. Does this seem like reasonable behaviour? I'm not sure why but its not sitting comfortably with me.

Like I said, hardly the most pressing issue in the world, but I'm interested to know what you think all the same. If you want to try it, see this:

Cheers,

Rob.

Yeah, sounds like that could come in handy. Indeed not a very pressing issue but a nice feature nonetheless. Thanks for helping make Pioneer even better. 🙂

A great idea! 🙂 You should submit it on the pioneer forum. I am sure John Jorden will add this to the exe he is working on as it is too useful a feature to leave out. Well done! 😎

Excellent, a much needed feature. It winds me up trying to re-align the rotation 😉
