I would like to be able to add the information in my NavComp into my StarMap.  Also the ability to share mapping information.

Seconded.

That, or maybe something like consolidating them with the navigation screen. I don't know if there's room, but maybe have the 'nav comp' basically be a drop-down box of locations and when you pick one it shows the corresponding star map or even nav screen, if SirEmi prefers that to the original star map idea.

We could also make that two separate deals. If the star map is really difficult to do, then maybe we'll get the nav screen integration in first and it will basically work as the star map also until the actual star map is completed later.

What I'd really like to see is a working star map with a few extra features, like maybe corp missions where the leader or others he appoints can mark a spot on the map and describe a mission, and assign a captain or all available captains to a task etc.

Then we can just look at the map and see if we are needed and go without the leader having to message them too much with details of the mission.

There's more I could list, but baby steps. Let's get the star map working before we get too much into what else we want it to do lol.

A working star map that updated whenever we discovered a new system is something else SirEmi promised us a long time ago but we never got.  I have even suggested this once already.  This should go in when Novas go in.

Great news Sir Emi 1

I would like to see a grid system with coordinates on the star map, earth being at 0,0 (similar to the quadrant, maybe at every 10 ly so that it is not encombering the map)
