In the new overview, asteroids are listed as "Asteroid (Monoclinic Bistot)" or something like that. In the past , they were listed with just hte name, like 'Monoclinic Bistot', and the TYPE field displayed 'Asteroid'.

THis change causes me to make my overview even wider than before in order to actually see which "Asteroid ....." I'm looking at.
This can become really bad for long ones like 'Asteroid Viscous Pyroxeres".

PLease simply put the NAME in the NAme field and leave the TYPE in the type field.

Even with a wide screen monitor, real estate is a premium. This would help a lot.

Thanks!

I agree.

How about being given the option to assign nicknames to all the standard items found floating or flying in space? That way we could come up with our own 'short' names for everything out there. Much more intuitive and would really cut down on that 8 inch wide overview :)

A more logical description should in in the format of "Bistot, Monolithic, Asteroid" so that the important description is in the front, and you can expand it out to what you need. this will allow for crystal type sorting.
