Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Because they are totally different.
When you open the map it shows the last type you used and sometimes it's not convenient to have to switch types. Like when you're in a system and want to see quickly exactly where you ship is but the last map you used was the star map... then you have to travel your eyes through the screen to find the configuration window and hit the system map button to make the switch. Also, instead of separating their options in two tabs just make two configuration windows and let only their respective windows available at each map type.

Someone already suggested this and I will add it to this thread: make it possible to overlay different display options on the star map.

Make it possible to save different system map configurations, just like the overview. This is not very relevant but it could be useful.

That's it.
