I just hope you get rid of the F11 map and change it for something more appealing.
The star map is a mess... it could be cool if we have a kind of zoom system where you can see all the regions as land masses and you can click on one ! And boom you have the region and description. You have only the region (actually you can also add an option to see the other region attach to it) you clicked and now you can see all the constellations region... you click on one constellation and boom, it zoom on it and now you can see all the solar systems. you click on one system and boom you see the system... and you can manage all the filter for each zoom. So it's less messy!! (we can keep the option in 2D or 3D)
3D it's cool, so you can easily rotate only the region or the constellation and not being confuse by all the others.
And please for god sake, the solar system map with only line and dot?? Can be amazing to click on each planet and see the planet system with all their moons and station, landmark, asteroid field etc. and be able to apply the filters for each planet system.
Can be awesome with the next expansion of Odyssey with all the exploration revamp.

PROS
you need just 5 min when you login to check what is going on in the universe with the filter
you don't need to know what going on 3 region away when you try to see if you have actions or camping 3 system away.
more clear view
better use of the universe map
good focus of what going on in the region, constellation and system.
gives room around the region to put some stats without occluding and messing with the other region that you don't look.
esthetic

CONS
get rid of F11
can slow down the performance (but we can adjust with some graphic option and filter)

WISH
revamp solar system map... change icon for sun, planets, moon etc.
able to get a central zoom on each planet system
