I've come across systems that are very close together before, and in these cases, selecting one system or the other requires a bit of care with the mouse.
However in galaxy 5, I've found a couple of systems that appear to be directly on top of one another: Divees and Tezabi. The text labels for these systems almost completely obscure each other, and clicking on the single white blob that's visible only allows you to select Divees.
Does anybody have any ideas of how it might be possible to select Tezabi?

Re: Overlapping systems
I tried that before, and voila, I got a small green box around it. But I can't seem to get a red cross on it. So I can't witchspace to it.Frame wrote:yeah in the long range chart, type tezabi and viola you got it...
It's not the end of the world if I can't get there, I just wondered if anybody else had figured this one out...

hmm i´m sure i used to do this on the C64... testing... all though i do remember you might have to be docked to call up the long range chart and/or find function at allJohnnyBoy wrote:I tried that before, and voila, I got a small green box around it.

In this screengrab, I've typed the first three letters of "Tezabi" but underneath that is the name of the system that the red cross has locked onto - "Divees" - even though the green box has identified Tezabi on the chart
If I press '1' to leave spacedock and press 'h', the on-screen countdown announces that I'm about to witchspace to Divees.

I believe clicking on the double system repeatedly should toggle between the two systems. This may not work in 1.65.
