I'll make this extreamly short since this isn't that complicated of an idea.

To my knowledge there is no way to mesure the distances between systems ingame except eye balling it, this has anoyed me to no end since I first got into a capital!

So I think it would be great to finally, after all these years, have some sort of tool ingame to see what systems is in your jumprange (or one you set) and how far away they are.
It would also be nice to be able to select any system and be able to see what systems you can jump to from there aswell but I'm not that picky.

I'm aware that there is a bunch of 3rd party tools to do this but come on, there should atleast be a simple one in the game!

By eyeballing you mean observing the ball around your ship that shows in game and indicates your jump range and systems within it by a ball of colour?

Come get some cancer @ my blog !

and if looking at the map isn't enough for you, you could always open the capital nav window

In case you don't know how to find it, Escape -> Shortcuts -> Window -> Capital Navigation

By default it shouldn't have a shortcut assigned.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Nothing is simpler and easier to read and use than Dotlan's jump navigation feature, neither the jump range sphere on the ingame maps nor the capital navigation window.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
