I notice that the reference sheet also says extra kit is needed to use the '?' function. Is this a bug then, it being available to virgin Jamesons?

It's open to discussion, really. The way it looks in the code and in the commit history, the bug is more likely in the reference sheet rather than the game.

In the Market screen, for instance, it cycles through, full list, list without possible contraband, and a third, even shorter list. That bears no relation to any extra kit.

We're talking about the galactic chart, not markets.

By design then - fair enough.

Yes, and I was referring to the mention of undocumented features concerning the key "?", which appears to do stuff in more places than the Galactic Map alone. And that in hte Reference Sheet there is mention of extra kit needed for "?" functionality, but that this would seem not to be the case with the Market screen, although I now remember there is an oxz that changes its appearance, which I use, so I may be wring in that.

But the parallel was certainly opportune.
