Oolite Bulletins

It's very time consuming and feels clunky to switch back and forth between the short / long range chart and the planet info screens. I'd really like a very short summary line of text that describes the key features of a planet immediately when clicked on in the long or short range charts.

If I wanted to see about the planets Hoopy Casinos and to see what the residents are like, the planet info page is always there still.

Hold down the I key on the SRC. You'll see the names of each planet are replaced with icons showing their govenment type and economy with a number showing the tech level.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Anything like that available for the galactic chart? It would be very helpful in planning routes and trips.

Also, is there a key for cycling through contracted systems? It would be nice to be able to cycle quickly through e.g., passenger delivery systems with the touch of a key.

Also, it would make galactic planet info investigation so much nicer if the galactic chart had an option to remembered the last place you clicked and kept it selected when you return. That's handy for investigating a bunch of close by planets.

If you've bought the Advanced Navigational Array, you can select a distant system that you want to travel to, hold down shift-6 and the shortest route will be shown to you.

Thanks, I have that wonderful item in my ship inventory

I was more talking about doing this:

[ go to galactic chart ]
"I wonder what this planet and its neighbors are like: F6, F6, click, F7, [look], F6, F6, wait, where'd that planet go again?

I'd rather do:

F6, F6, click, read, click, read, click, read, etc.
