you know what would be nice....if on the space map where you actually do the moving around you could choose to show the flag that flies over the planets. Who owns what planet in other words.....just the syndicate and house planets would be enough, we could assume everything else is independent.  ~Skot Six |

right now there is a feature freeze on anything that adds more graphics to the map while I debug some other problems (see Screen turns black bug)

possibly got some stack today that might solve it. if it does this will be high on my list to fix. in fact, i even made the mini flag icons to use =)

Awesome! Yea it would be nice to know "Hmm...I am out of fuel/water which of these blue planets that I can see should I fly to -- i.e. who will sell to me and who will not." I could avoid mutinies if we could refill our tanks instead of wasting time flying to a planet that hates me, when there is one that doesnt hate me a coupla AU's away |

Look for an independant. Or check your faction conflicts in cargo and your faction rep score in captain. STATUS.

well, yea. I know that....I'm saying it would just be nice to be able to see who owns what planet from the map.

Just before the conflict, you will have a flag show up which tells you what faction space your in.

Don't forget you can always tap your finger on the galactic map and it'll show up a bunch of stats including what faction controls the planet, if it has a urban zone, and if there are any rumors.
It's a little bit slower than just seeing the friendly faction flags on the map, but it's not something that causes me too much grief.

I'd still rather see some variation in color on the planets and stars so that different areas of the map are a little more distinctive and landmarky.
Right now there are a few distinguishable configurations, but star color would go a long way towards making areas different without having to change much art.

yea, thats what I'm saying it would be nice to be able to tell by looking at a distance, and not having to orbit the planets to see who owns them...because sometimes......2 or 3 AU can make the difference between life and death if you have a pissed off crew.

It would also be good to be able to do the ole "Pinch" thing to change the scale of the map more fluidly ... Ooo .. maybe that can be my "one thing I could change" ... hmm, no, there are other things I want more. |

I would like to add my support to the motion fot itty bitty flags denoting the allegience of the planets.
It would also be cool if you added planet X, and a lil guy named Marvin was in charge there... but mostly just some sort of flag. ;-)

I am still working towards a map system that will allow this.
