- If the system map would follow the events outside, you could watch your
progress in the map without having to switch repeatedly between main
view and map.
- It should be possible to center the system map relative to a displayed
ship.
- There should be a possibility to fast zoom out of the system map just
enough to make your ship or the next planet visible.
- It would be nice to have a stack of autopilot targets: select your
flight target, push it and select a target for a fight, return to your
flight target...
- If you don't use the autopilot, it is very difficult to land on
planets with high gravity, because you have no easy way to estimate
your current position relative to the planet without deselecting your
target. It would be nice to have a switchable height meter that gives
you readings all the time (not only from 50.000 m downwards) in
addition to your information about the target distance. Also some
velocity information like rate of descent and velocity with respect to
the planet surface would be extremely helpful. Why not switch to a HUD
that contains this information in the near of a planet, if your
autopilot is not activated?
