Galactic Chart
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:29 pm
In ver. 1.55 when you were not docked and checked your Galactic Chart ("6" or "F6" twice), you could still follow your progress through space with your Advanced Space Compass. I miss that feature in ver. 1.62.
For example: you a carting a large green slime-covered frog halfway across the galaxy, and staying out of the main space lanes in a system for personal reasons. To pass the time, you are looking for high tech level systems nearby (a relative term).
I understand that unfolding the galactic chart over your "dashboard" covers most things, however; it does not cover your Heads-Up Display. You can still see the IFF system, and are still moving through space. So, why wouldn't the magically smart compass still display.
As always, all of my thanks to all who make this game (and community) the amazing thing that it is,
