how would you do that...
Simply put a different color ring (circle) around explored stars and leave the un-explored ones ring-less?
I like it...

I would say the star map sould be gray except where explored where it would be black with the stars (and other phenomenons) visible.

that works too, but I think Rafe meant the systems he saw vs. the systems he explored.
The systems you haven't seen don't need another shade of color, if you don't know what's there, it remains black.
You might be able to see the systems, but you don't know what's there.

Mata was right. I was actually referring to the starmaps. I have scouted empty quadrants in the hundreds now, but when I look at the starmap, there's no way to find out exactly which quadrants I have visited since they're all empty and black.. But sargas' idea about the systems visited is helpful too.  |

Yeah that makes sense, I will add a note:
+ add exploration view to Star Maps, where explored stars / events are marked in green and unexplored are not marked.
As for quadrants, since we'll have events and stars with life cycles, what you explored a few days back may not be relevant the next days as information changes and gets old so maybe:
+ add another view to Star Maps, that will show how old the information is for each star / event. The color will change from green (info is relatively new) to yellow, orange, red (info is old and unreliable).

Oh well, all that exploration for nothing then. Haha Thanks anyway for planning to include it in future updates. |

BTW SirEmi, would you also add the wormhole in the starmap's search function? As of now, I don't know of a way to search them. Entering "wormhole" or "unknown" under the star/event category doesn't work. |

as soon as the pledge is ready, there will be wormhole (and black hole) locators available.

There is a discussion about this inside game, in the Pledge section. Maybe you missed it. |

Sir Emi, or anyone for that matter...
How does searching for "waypoints" work? I noticed it is a field to search in the new galaxy map, so I must ask; what is a waypoint? How can I make them and then see how to search for them?

When your ship is in deep space or anywhere outside of a system. go to your nav computer and add those coordinates. That is how you make a waypoint. |
