It would be nice to have a way to see and filter all visited systems based on their traits. For things like:
- Need a friendly planet with starport greater than X and military greater than Y to install the ship part I need, or recruit the job I need - Need an Indy world of type X with trade law less than Y to sell my loot
The star atlas is a nice tool, but would be better if you could look at everywhere you've been and not just the local system.
Also on the galactic map tooltips, it only shows the "owner" of each planet but not the secondary (usually Indy) destination attached to it. It would be helpful to see the civilized Indy destinations broken out as well on the list. For example right now you would see "4 Independent, 3 Cadar, 2 Steel Song" on the tooltip when those 4 Indy worlds are wilderness, but there might be an orbital Indy world that isn't listed but is attached to a Cadar system. I think it would make more sense in that case to frame it as "1 Independent, 3 Cadar, 2 Steel Song, 4 Wilderness", because there are two distinct purposes (explore or buy/sell) that are being muddled up under one heading.

Thanks for the feedback!
We are working toward search features for the lists that should help. Some of what you're asking for would be helped by having sliders for each of the zone stats, but that gets pretty heavy quick (asks a lot of you, to know what exact stats you want).
We are working on a "distance" filter that would let you look locally or within X jumps.
Great suggestion to break out wilderness on its own category.

I don't know how the UI would work, but the two exact questions the OP mentions are the ones I search for also: (starport>N and military>N), or (indie and law<N and type==X). I usually keep a piece of paper next to my keyboard to write down indie low law planets by type. I usually don't need ship upgrades very often so I just write down the first starport 10, military 10, non-hostile planet I find.
For indie low law, the point is that I have some item, lately a rare trade good found by scavenging, and I need to know which places I can sell it. Maybe there could be a click on the item in my hold/stash, and a screen which lists places I can sell it? That doesn't involve setting any sliders or anything, it takes parameters from the selected cargo item.
