Ideas for additions to the galactic map.

[gkb]

Hello,I have spent a few evenings playing Pioneer – and I am VERY impressed.I feel as If I am a teenager playing Frontier on my Amiga 500 all over again – only everything looks ten times better!I have a few tentative suggestions for additions – if they are no good feel free to ignore them.I am looking at the galactic map (I.E the map used to pick systems to hyperspace to), and I can’t seem to see the green circle that shows the range of the ships hyperdrive – could this be added in, or am I just using the map wrong?Also, would it be possible to add a text search for a system name – I.E you can type in the name of the system you are interested in visiting and the map moves to select that system. At the moment I am spending a lot of time scrolling around the map looking for the system I want to go to - which is a bit annoying.Keep up the great work!

A circle wouldn't work too well because the galaxy is three-dimensional. Instead, unreachable systems have a slightly dimmer names than those in range (btw. gray names mean unexplored systems and light blue means populated).

It's already there. Lower right corner of the starmap. It also has a hotkey /.
