Galaxy map

Post by N.ator »

A search feature within galaxy map.

This search feature will be able to list all ports in a gal of one race, with detail view of level and goods in a nice list.

This might be nice for people without mgu (aka mac users)

-not sure if this is hard to code, just a suggestion

For the time being mac users can use TheLazyTrader although I agree this would be a nice addition, doing a semi-decent interface for it would be the more challenging thing..

Require discussion,

Yes this feature is available with MGU/LT... but for newer players might not be a bad idea.

I don't see this change as necessary. I'd rather just make the port races easier to see within the galaxy map sectors instead of having to hover over the buy/sell tags. What ever happened to making your own routes by hand and exploring?

It would actually encourage that as you could see the different port/goods.

TBH I would normally reject this idea.

what about just a feature where you can search a sector number! not goods and everything. (that idea was before it was coded in game)

Eh, I still think the G-map is fine, although I still vote for larger port ownership names.

You can search by sector using the url (you can click a sector then edit the number in the bar), anyway since it's that easy someone could add it by putting an input type="number" and having it submit a get to the current page (to add the correct sector id), sounds perfect for RCK ;)
