Tl;Dr bring the great ground work on the ISIS to EVES star-map.

will all the changes over the past few years i believe it is time to add usability to EVEs star-map and system info windows.

THE STAR-MAP:

add the ability to select a single region of space and view only that in the star-map..

it would:
show links to other regions
security of systems by default
highlights any systems that your current auto pilot plan is set to (if they pass through the region)

THE SYSTEM INFO WINDOW:

this needs cleaning up ALOT, its far to packed and looks cluttered.

firstly new info next to the system picture.

system name
system security status
Sov
Local pirate presence (NPC)
"show in star-map hyper link"

The New Tabs:

TAB: system info:
sub headers inside info window: planets, asteroid belts, stations, gates, celestial beacons

planets: listed like so "planet xxx - planet type - xxx moons"
asteroid belts listed like so "planet xxx - belt xxx"
stations listed like so "planet xxx - moon xxx - station name"
gates listed like so "planet xxx - gate name - gate type"
static beacons listed like so "planet xxx - moon xxx - beacon name"

TAB: system intelagence:
info is over a 24h period (dt to dt) updating once an hour

player ships killed - xxx
NPCs killed - xxx
Jumps - xxx
docked in system - xxx (resets every hour)
in space - xxx (resets every hour)
cynos - xxx

TAB: jump plan:

this tab will show you all systems that you need to pass through to get to the system, you can set your auto pilot settings in this tab without actuly setting a destination.

sorry that its not vary ordered just wanted to get some feed back
