And I'm getting lost 
So playing on hard with a 40 quadrant standard density map.
Decent map, problem isn't the size/number of quadrants per sey but that there is currently no convenient way to keep track of where things of interest to my captain are.
Like that great indie planet in the corner of one quadrant that has both a high tech industrial zone and a very low law Population zone that let me rack up a bunch of credits with almost no risk quickly just doing orbital hops between the two.
Or my only Thulun contact who can sell me a trade permit, what was his name and where the heck is he again? Sorting through an ever growing list of contacts (currently 50+ and rapidly expanding now) looking for the right one is a pain.
Really need some sort of notepad in game where we can write our own notes as reminders, though getting better sorting options will help.
Along the same lines the crew manifest is a huge improvement over when we started but I'd still love to have an option besides what is currently available to view just crew with a certain profession. Like show me only crew dogs or show me only E-Techs etc. Yes I can sort by job and star a group then view it but that's sort of the long way around and I'd prefer to use the stars for other things like short list for promotion, short list for getting airlocked, critical skill groupings etc.
Basically guess what I'm saying is that we're getting a lot of stuff thrown at us but finding the information we want/need right now can be difficult without better ways to organize and sort things.
Completely new players to ST which we need for this to be a major success would likely be feeling a combination of data overload and completely lost regarding available information.
