Mark pax/goods delivery target worlds on galaxy map.

Post by Oathbreaker »

You're in a station and considering picking up goods (not me, ship too small) or passengers (that's me) to travel to wherever.

You hit 6 twice to bring up the galaxy chart. You type in a few letters to find the target world.

You hit 8 twice to get back to the list of deliveries. You hit 6 twice and the first letter of the target world twice, then spell out the target world to find it.

Repeat until you know where all the possible target worlds are.

Or someone could make an OXP to put a blue mark next to each world on the galaxy map that has a passenger delivery available from your current world, and a red for goods or somesuch. Then you can just mouse over it and click for the name of the system and hit 8 twice to see the cash.

There's actually a core game feature to help with this; on either the long range chart or the contracts screen press "?". That switches you between the two, and highlights any currently selected contract on the long range chart.
